Chronic Pain
With origins in China over 3,500 years ago, acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely practiced healing systems. Today, modern science provides insights into how and why it works. Check out the studies below to explore the scientific research supporting acupuncture's effectiveness.
Reduced Inflammation
Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation by stimulating specific neural pathways. Research has shown that electroacupuncture can lower inflammation by activating the vagus-adrenal axis, leading to a systemic reduction in inflammatory markers.
Improvement in Migraine Frequency and Severity
Studies have shown that acupuncture can help reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraines. The analysis of several trials revealed that patients experienced significant relief compared to those who did not receive acupuncture.
Pain Relief for Chronic Pain
Acupuncture has been proven to reduce chronic pain, including back, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and headaches. A 2012 meta-analysis published in JAMA Internal Medicine analyzed data from 17,922 patients across 29 trials and found that acupuncture significantly outperformed sham acupuncture and no-acupuncture controls in pain reduction for these conditions.
Treatment of Anxiety and Depression
Acupuncture may be beneficial in managing mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. A number of studies have observed that patients undergoing acupuncture showed improvements in mood and anxiety-related symptoms, likely due to its regulatory effects on neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins.
