TCM Pain Management Needling The Facts On
Acupuncture
2

• The efficacy of acupuncture for pain management
  is recognized by the World Health Organisation
  (WHO) for more than 70 types of conditions,
  including neck and back pain, tennis elbow, knee
  pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and sciatica.
• Today, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM
  Singapore) has emerged as a prominent alternative
  go-to treatment for chronic health problems, and
  more recently, it has also been widely documented
  as an effective way to manage pain. While
  skeptics dismiss TCM treatments such as
  acupuncture and cupping to the placebo effect,
  various studies have shown that acupuncture can
  be as effective as painkiller drugs only
  without the side effects.

Chronic Pain

• A research aptly coded The Journal Of Pain
  studied the efficacy of one of TCMs most popular
  treatment, acupuncture. Patients were sent on 16
  acupuncture visits, and findings shown that
  acupuncture was particularly relevant for pain
  relief. The study not only recommended
  acupuncture as a viable option for patients with
  chronic pain, but also called for additional
  research to determine the best way of
  incorporating acupuncture into patient care.

Lower Back Pain

• Another study that was published in Medical
  Journal Of Australia finds acupuncture is as
  effective as medication in treating pain for
  lower back pain and ankle sprain. A vast majority
  of 80 of patients who undergone the acupuncture
  treatment were satisfied with the treatment.
  Apart from this, the study also revealed that
  various emergency department doctors who
  practiced in both public and private hospitals in
  Australia were treating patients pain with
  acupuncture.

TCM For Pain

• For most cases, acupuncture is the main treatment
  administered by TCM physicians for effective pain
  relief. However, TCM can also goes beyond by
  resolving pain management issues through oral
  herbal medication, acupuncture, cupping, or even
  a combination of the three. Through a TCM
  diagnostic, a TCM tampines physician can
  identify any digestive issues and prescribe the
  right treatment. Herbal medicine and acupuncture
  can be administered together to ensure better
  efficacies for more rapid and effective pain
  relief. This may prove particularly convenient
  for some who dislike the bitter taste in herbs
  and opt for acupuncture instead, and vice versa
  for those with a fear of needles.
