Acupuncture as Traditional Method

Other traditional medicinal method is acupuncture. Acupuncture is a form of medical treatment that was invented in ancient China. Acupuncturists are doctors who put metal needles in your body. Even though using needles that are gone into your skin the treatment doesn't hurt.

The doctors put the needles into different parts of your body to help cure different pains and illness. Acupuncture has helped people with toothaches, headaches, back pains, and many others problem. It can even help people quit smoking.

Many people say that acupuncture makes them feel healthier. Sometimes acupuncture can help when modern medicine can't. Science can't really explain how it can work so well.

Attending frequently with chronic low back pain can be distressing for both patient and doctor. Because conventional treatment options tend to be ineffective and limited, many sufferers now seek help from licensed acupuncturists, who have repeatedly provided the safest, quickest, and most effective treatment available. The secret to its effectiveness, however, lies in our brain.

It's common knowledge that acupuncture relieves pain and treats migraines, but until recently didn't know why - the mechanisms of acupuncture responsible for pain reduction were unclear. Dr. Aziz Asghar and his colleagues at the University of York and the Hull York Medical School discovered that it may be because of acupuncture's ability to deactivate areas in the brain associated with the processing of pain.

The study that is published in Brain Research, revealed that patients receiving acupuncture treatment experience a sensation known as "deqi", which triggers changes in certain neural structures, leading to the aforementioned brain deactivation.
