Are you recovering from surgery? Is the pain bad enough that you need pain medications? Acupuncture reduces postoperative pain and helps speed up recovery.
The Problem
Surgery saves lives. It also taxes the body. That’s why you hurt so much during your recovery. In Chinese medicine, trauma causes blood stagnation. Blood does not flow well after trauma. We feel it at stabbing and throbbing pain.
Blood stasis occurs following most surgeries, including knee and hip replacement, Achilles repair, cancer surgeries, shoulder surgery, foot surgery and gall bladder removal, to name just a few. Regardless of the surgery, acupuncture helps your body restore balance faster, and helps avoid long-term issues that the trauma of surgery can sometimes induce.
Acupuncture Reduces Postoperative Pain
Surgery, while necessary, is tough on the body. It’s a trauma to the body. As such, it tends to cause the natural flow of Qi and blood to stagnate. Good health requires the healthy flow of Qi and blood. So often after surgery, your scars will heal but pain persists and complete health just does not seem to come.
Acupuncture gently gets your circulation back into top form. When Qi and blood flow properly, they can nourish tendons, ligaments and organs, allowing your body to heal from the trauma from surgery. Postoperative pain is simply your body being unable to heal the wounds from surgery and fully resolve the work that surgery set out to fix. By restoring balance to the body, acupuncture naturally resolves postoperative pain, quickly and efficiently.
Are You Using Pain Meds To Deal With Postoperative Pain?
It is very common for patients to be prescribed pain medications for postoperative pain. In the short-term, these medications are very useful. However, the sooner you can wean yourself from these drugs, the better. Acupuncture, by resolving postoperative pain at the root, reduces the need for pain medications.
Acupuncture also helps heal scars from surgery. Placing tiny needles around the scar, your body will heal up to fifty percent faster. Acupuncture will also reduce pain around the scar.
