On Pins and Needles Acupuncture gets straight to the point of pain relief 
While having a mass of needles inserted into the skin might sound painful, it may actually be quite the opposite. As alternative medicine continues to grow in acceptance among Americans, many suffering from chronic pain are finding a new form of relief outside of medication, thanks to acupuncture. A form of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves the strategic placement of barely-there, hair-thin sterile needles into various points of the body, says Angela Johnson, board certified diplomat of Oriental Medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. It is believed, she says, that when these needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points, the body releases neural hormones and transmitters that mediate pain response. After performing acupuncture on hundreds of patients, Johnson says that at least 90 percent experience a positive response to the treatment. To optimize results, she recommends adjunctive use with conventional care. Some patients experience dramatic changes in their overall sense of wellbeing after undergoing treatment. In one case, Johnson recalls a pediatric oncology nurse who was experiencing excruciating bone and nerve pain as a result of an injury while also undergoing chemotherapy. “After the first couple of treatments she, as a nurse, told me that the bone pain and the nerve pain was reduced by 70 percent,” Johnson says. What’s more, in a recent study published in the Pediatric Clinics of North America journal, female subjects who experienced severe abdominal and pelvic menstrual pains underwent acupuncture. Following treatment, pain medication use was curbed by an average of 41 percent. To pursue acupuncture as a pain remedy, Johnson stresses the importance of finding a nationally certified practitioner. Try the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (www.nccaom.org) to find licensed professionals by state. Of equal importance, Johnson says, is finding a practitioner with whom you feel comfortable. Prospective patients should “get a list of practitioners in their area, read their bios, see if there’s someone who specializes in what they need and then give them a call,” Johnson says. “See if there’s some sort of connection over the phone and if there is, schedule an appointment and see how it goes.” Chances are, your practitioner will pinpoint your pain and put you on the road to relief. |
