Acupuncture can pro- vide drug free pain relief for people with chronic pain and suffering by encouraging the body to promote nat- ural healing. The needling of acupunc- ture points stimulates the nervous sys- tem to release pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins & serotonin) and hor- mones in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These chemicals are the body’s natural painkillers. The body produces them to influence its own internal reg- ulating system and healing abilities to fight disease and maintain a healthy physical and emotional state. Acupuncture is a drug free way for our patients to receive pain management and help them progress along more quickly in their rehabilitation program. Physical rehabilitation plays a critical part of most patients care at NMR. Joint, muscle and spinal problems demand stability, strength and condi- tioning if one is not only to feel better but also to restore function and pre- vent similar or worse problems in the future. Incorporating acupuncture into a rehabilitation program can help peo- ple with chronic pain or suffering from such things as: • Headaches & Migraines • Trigeminal Neuralgia • Back, Neck & Joint Pain • Menstrual Cramps • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Osteoarthritis • Fibromyalgia • Sciatica • Myofascial Pain • Tennis Elbow Acupuncture compliments the services provided at NMR to help patients with their pain management and move them toward not only feeling better, but actually being better and stronger!
