Pain Relief with
Acupuncture
Acupuncture in Minnesota
What is Acupuncture?
In Minnesota, acupuncture offers a drug-free path to managing pain and improving overall well-being. Acupuncture is a medical practice that involves placing fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue.
Rooted in Chinese medicine and now more widely used in U.S. hospitals and clinics, acupuncture promotes circulation, eases muscle tension, and encourages the release of the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Licensed Minnesota acupuncturists blend traditional techniques with modern understanding of how acupuncture can relieve pain. Treatments are individualized based on a person's symptoms, health history, and goals.
How Acupuncture
May Help with Pain
Acupuncture may help reduce pain intensity and improve function for a variety of conditions:
- Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Headaches and migraines
- Neuropathy
- Osteoarthritis/knee pain
- Post-surgical or injury-related pain
- Muscle tension and stress-related pain
- Some symptoms associated with cancer treatments such as reducing nausea and vomiting after surgery and chemotherapy
By influencing pain pathways in the nervous system and supporting circulation, acupuncture can help quiet overactive pain signals and ease physical and emotional stress tied to pain. Acupuncture sessions are typically gentle, with minimal discomfort and few side effects.
