It’s not unlikely that you’re familiar with the practice of acupuncture. On the surface, it may seem a bit bizarre, willingly sticking needles into your skin. But underneath the surface—literally and figuratively—the benefits of acupuncture are quite impressive. You may want to stick with acupuncture in 2023 if you’re looking for a treatment for back pain or a way to get better sleep.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is a treatment that involves inserting needles strategically into the skin. Its roots in Chinese traditional medicine, acupuncture is believed to redirect and balance energy flow in the body, promoting better wellness. By stimulating the muscles and nerves in your body, it can promote feelings of calm and reduce pain.

DOES ACUPUNCTURE HURT?

Now, if you’re not particularly fond of needles, one of your first questions is no doubt whether it hurts or not. Because the needles are so thin, you may not even feel them entering your skin or exiting when they’re removed. Many acupuncture patients report no feelings of discomfort, and those that do experience some may tell you that the results are well worth it.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE

One of the best benefits of acupuncture is its usefulness in terms of managing pain. Acupuncture is a regular treatment for back pain, headaches, and issues related to chronic conditions like arthritis. It’s even been shown to be effective at treating high blood pressure, allergies, and digestive issues. After your treatment, you’ll likely feel calm and relaxed, which helps you control stress and get better sleep.

Though the practice may seem unusual at first glance, the benefits of acupuncture make it worth a try—even if you’re a bit squeamish with needles. If you’d like to learn more about acupuncture or see how it works firsthand, you can schedule an appointment with Wills Chiropractic in Rochelle, IL.
