Pain Management

Acupuncture can help relieve pain by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and promoting the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.

At What’s Good, we believe in a holistic approach to treating pain. We understand that pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including external trauma, internal imbalances, and lifestyle factors. That’s why our experienced practitioners use various modalities, including acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, to restore the balance and free flow of Qi in the body, which helps alleviate pain and improve overall health.

Acupuncture has been shown to have numerous benefits for pain relief, including reducing inflammation and improving the functioning of the nervous system. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, which helps regulate the flow of Qi and promote healing. It has been shown to be effective in reducing pain in numerous studies, including for migraines, fibromyalgia, back pain, and joint pain.

Several studies have shown the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for reducing chronic pain, including migraines, fibromyalgia, back pain, and joint pain.
