Algesia is a scientific term that refers to the ability to sense pain. Commonly, in medicine, the word is used to refer to levels of pain that are above those expected from a specific condition. Causes include damage to nerves and sensation receptors, some psychiatric conditions and narcotic drug use. Drugs that can help reduce algesia are known as analgesics.

Pain is an evolved response to damage to the body. When a finger touches a hot surface, for example, the heat damage to the skin is sensed by pain receptors on the skin. Pain stimulus passes up the nerves to the brain, which yanks the finger away. Even after the person has removed the finger, the damaged skin still produces pain signals, because the skin's ability to protect the finger against health issues like microbial infection is compromised. The pain, therefore, prevents the person from making the slight injury worse by using the finger.

Acupuncture increases blood circulation to different parts of your body and relaxes your muscles. It also helps promote emotional well-being and can increase the effectiveness of your immune system. Instead of bringing the rest of your health down in order to reduce pain it raises the level of your whole body health. There are many different types of pain that people can experience, and acupuncture is an effective treatment for them all. Back pain is very common and is a result of sprains or strains. Your acupuncturist may use local needles on your back to treat your pain, but most treat it with distal needles placed on other parts of your body. Your acupuncturist may use cupping or electrical stimulation along with needle insertion.
