How Acupuncture Works
From a Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, trauma disrupts energetic homeostasis and can cause both short- and long-term imbalances. Pain and dysfunction result from a blockage of energy (QI) and blood flow. TCM therapies function to remove these blockages.
From a western perspective, TCM therapies decrease pain, Inflammation, promote healing and regulate the immune and endocrine systems. It should be remembered that the rehabilitation of the injured is both physical and psychological. The physiological impacts of injury and surgery are similar. Both are traumas which can lead to pain. Inflammation, swelling, digestive disorders and emotional changes. Many surgical patients suffer from pre operation anxiety and post operative pain, inflammation, nausea, constipation, vomiting, headache and fatigue.
Post-surgical pain syndromes and addictions to prescribed pain medications are also a contributing factor in physicians/ surgeons making referrals to acupuncture.
