Find Lasting Relief from Chronic Pain with Acupuncture
Chronic pain affects more than 51 million Americans, with nearly 17 million experiencing high-impact chronic pain—pain that interferes with daily life and function. For those living with constant discomfort, the search for relief is ongoing.
While traditional medicine often relies on prescription drugs, many people are now turning to natural, holistic solutions. At Integrative Pain Relief, acupuncture offers a safe, effective, and drug-free path to healing—addressing both symptoms and their root causes.
How Acupuncture Works to Relieve Chronic Pain
Modern science is beginning to explain why acupuncture has been used successfully for thousands of years. Research shows that acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, prompting the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other natural chemicals that reduce pain and enhance well-being.
It also increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and activates adenosine—a natural pain-reliever that becomes more active after acupuncture. These changes support your body’s innate healing response.
What the Research Says
✅ A meta-analysis in JAMA Internal Medicine (2012) of nearly 18,000 patients found acupuncture significantly improved outcomes for:
Osteoarthritis
Headaches
Musculoskeletal pain (e.g., neck, back, and joint pain)
✅ A 2018 study in The Journal of Pain reviewed 39 trials involving over 20,000 patients. Results showed that:
90% of patients reported meaningful pain relief
Acupuncture consistently outperformed placebo treatments
✅ A 2013 study in Pain Medicine demonstrated that acupuncture can provide long-lasting relief for chronic low back pain, with benefits lasting up to 12 months after treatment.
