Acupuncture therapy - The alternative pain relief through Traditional Chinese Medicine

Conventional medicine has described muscle pain as a pain caused by too much stress, tension or overusing the muscle. Intentionally, people will massage the pain area to increase more muscle relaxant and gain better circulation. In some cases, steroids are used to accurately relieve the pain.

In general, the muscle pain caused by the overusing of muscle will further initiate an anaerobic metabolism in the body. An anaerobic metabolism or the metabolism that does not require oxygen will produce lactic acid and other waste which is a main cause of muscle pain. Over a period of time, muscle pain can be more severely caused by the formation of fascia around the muscle pain area. Fascia is caused by continuously contracting muscle in the muscle pain area. The fascia can be harder overtime and cause difficulties to daily life activity without proper treatment.

How does acupuncture treatment help ?

Acupuncture treatment is the science of healing and pain relief by the activation and stimulation of certain acupuncture points throughout the body. The acupuncture system is connected from the inside to outside of the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy regarding two opposing forces that the body tries to balance: yin and yang. When both yin and yang are in balance, the body is healthy. The muscle pain is caused by the block of flow over acupuncture point. Accordingly, acupuncture is about the stimulation of these acupuncture points to restore balance to yin and yang in the body. This promotes a better flow of energy and boosts the body’s natural self-healing process. As a result, a state of accelerated healing of muscle pain is achieved. In some cases of extreme damage like spondylosis radiculopathy, the acupuncture over acupuncture points might not be enough. The deep acupuncture in muscle and cupping therapy are suggested.

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is widely used in Traditional Chinese medicine. Pain results from irregular flow in the body, stagnation and blockage of vital fluids, lymph, phlegm and blood. The principle of cupping therapy is to create a vacuum between cup and skin to generate congestion from arteries in a cupping area. Cupping therapy will help relax the body mechanism and signal the body for self-restoring, detoxifying and decreasing the lactic acid in the bloodstream. The mild red bruising around the cupping area may present when the therapy is done.

Cupping therapy helps relieve the muscle pain, toxins can be released from the sweat gland under the skin, blockages can be cleared, and veins and arteries can be refreshed. The mild red bruising will disappear in 3 to 7 days eventually.

It is highly suggested to wait 3 to 4 hours after receiving cupping therapy to shower and swim. Also avoid cold and windy environments as well as extreme muscle using after getting cupping therapy.
