 (EMAILWIRE.COM, March 09, 2012 ) Austin Tx -- The Healing Acupuncture Center knows through a report published in “The Lancet”, that over forty percent of Americans have acute or chronic pain conditions that may require treatment.
Acute pain, which often starts quickly, may be caused by an infection, accident or surgery. Chronic pain, on its part, could be the result of a specific condition and often fails to diminish with conventional therapies. Even the passage of time fails to overcome it. Whether acute or chronic, pain is a warning sign that something is wrong.
Help is however available through acupuncture. A major study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine (December 2004) found that acupuncture relieves pain and improves function for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also concluded that acupuncture starts the flow of pain-relieving endorphins and immune system cells to specific sites in the body that are injured or vulnerable to disease. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) and the NIH have acknowledged the benefits of acupuncture for treating and eliminating pain. Stress-related disorders, pain management, and chronic disease are three of acupuncture medicineÂ’s specialties.
The Healing Acupuncture Center—easily identifiable online using the keywords “austin acupuncture, acupuncture Austin, austin acupuncture clinic and austin acupuncturist—is thus a welcome inclusion in Austin as many people have been treated for many pain related problems in their lives.
