Fight Fibromyalgia Pain with These Remedies

Acupuncture can also be a source of relief

Another common treatment option for pain management is acupuncture. The practice of acupuncture originated in China and is quite ancient.  Acupuncture basically stimulates the body’s natural pain relief by releasing endorphins. Those are the happy hormones that can mask pain and make everything feel good. This is done by the insertions of special tiny needles into specific areas of the body. Acupuncture promotes self-healing to treat a number of health conditions, such as chronic pain.  

As it is with any form of medical treatment, there are some risks associated with acupuncture, such as soreness, minor bleeding and bruising. To ensure that the best possible experience is had by the patient, check that the acupuncturist is licensed and follows all the required steps regarding sterilization and cleanliness.
