We must differentiate pain management from pain relief when dealing with acupuncture.
Pain Relief
Acupuncture is probably the most effective treatment method for pain relief. It can permanently relieve the pain of conditions that are functional in nature. What is meant by this is, acupuncture can usually treat most occurrences of pain unless they are due to lesions, such as cancer. At such a stage of progression acupuncture must be used to manage pain.
Pain Management
First, we must realize that acupuncture is a preventative medicine. Even though most use it to treat or “cure” illness, by its very nature it is utilized best to keep the “systems” functioning properly before they develop into pathology; however, most patients do not seek acupuncture as preventative care.
It is often the case that an acupuncturist is sought out only after all other “Western” treatments have been exhausted. This is sad, because acupuncture can do so much good for the average person in prevention. Nonetheless, we must deal with the condition and patient as they are now, and there are cases that pain relief may not be accessible via acupuncture. At these times acupuncture can be utilized to manage the patient’s pain and help them live a more comfortable life. In cases where the pathology has progressed beyond acupuncture’s ability to treat it, acupuncture can often address the pain for significant periods of time.
This usually gives the patient significant reduction of pain for a period of time; however, the extensive progression of certain diseases allow for little more than the management of pain in such cases. At which time acupuncture is a natural drug free alternative treatment for pain. Sadly, the Western Medical approach is drugs and more drugs. This causes significant damage to many of the organs. We can help a patient with pain without deterioration if we use acupuncture to manage pain in such cases.
