Acupuncture treats muscle pain through a variety of ways, the most direct being that when a needle is inserted into the body, the body releases chemicals called endorphins. You may have heard of endorphins when people describe the runner’s high – that’s because they’re the same chemicals. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers, and they help you feel relaxed, alert, and mobile. Because this is the body’s natural method of killing pain, patients who are on pain medications can use acupuncture to reduce their dose or get off it entirely.
Releasing endorphins does more than just mask the pain too. The stress relief from the endorphins you feel helps to relax the entire body, so that tense muscles which contribute to an area of pain are no longer supporting the problem (this is often a factor in referred pain, such as from a pinched nerve at the spine).
