Pain-related ailments and acupuncture
Pain is a signal from the body to let you know that something is off and out of balance. It is a natural protection mechanism. Your body lets you know that something is going on that prevents it from functioning optimally. Pain is therefore the most common complaint when you visit a doctor. As a result, Dutch people with pain symptoms take 1 million painkillers a day and the risk of addiction to painkillers is increasing.
However, by surgically removing or suppressing the pain, the cause is usually not addressed let alone eliminated. You actually only influence the inner alarm system of the body. Research into the cause to gain the best possible control of the disease is therefore always necessary. Acupuncture has traditionally played an important role in the treatment of chronic and acute pain-related ailments.
Disrupted Energy Circulation
Within acupuncture, pain is seen as a sign that a blockage has occurred in the energy pathways somewhere in the body; the energy cannot flow or flows insufficiently. There is little to no energy flow. A shortage or reduction of life energy and blood causes possible tissue damage, which in turn causes pain. The necessary nutrients have difficulty getting to their place of destination and waste materials are not sufficiently released.
Restoring Balance
The point of view acupuncture takes, is that if there is a smooth energy flow, you feel no pain. If you feel pain then there is a blockage since a blockage causes pain. So if you improve the energy circulation, the blockage will disappear, and the pain in turn will decrease.
Several studies have shown that acupuncture helps well with pain relief. The purpose of acupuncture is to eliminate the energy block that has arisen, so that both the quality of the energy and the quantity of that energy increase. The more the energy is balanced in the body, the less pain is experienced.
