Are you one of the many millions of people around the world that experience arthritis pain? If so, you are definitely not alone. Arthritis is a common cause of movement disabilities, particularly for senior citizens. Over 100 arthritis types exist and can be caused from obvious joint trauma to a variety of health problems such as gout, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, bursitis and more. A number of pharmaceuticals are geared toward arthritis pain relief and joint surgery is a treatment option as well. However, if you want to cover all bases in regards to pain relief you should add electronic acupuncture to your treatment options.
Acupuncture Basics
The ancient Chinese believed that the human body experienced pain and illness due to an imbalance of life energy, or qi. The practice of traditional acupuncture involves inserting stainless steel needles at key acupoints along the body to maintain proper energy flow along the channels that carry qi as well as unblock any obstructions. With the electronic form though, those stainless steel needles are bypassed in favour of a small device which delivers electromagnetic current through a handheld wand. By touching the wand to acupoints in the hand and palm, energy blockages within the body can be treated.
Electronic Acupuncture and Arthritis Pain
Arthritis is typically caused by inflammation in the joints as well as surrounding soft tissues. This inflammation is a response by your body's immune system to a host of factors such as infection, injury, heredity factors, general wear and tear from aging and even your lifestyle and environment. If you experience arthritis pain, you probably have taken traditional anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids or even participated in physical therapy.
You can self-treat at home with an electronic acupuncture device. Acupuncture can provide arthritis pain relief by boosting your endorphins, the chemicals that block pain. Delivering electromagnetic wave impulses into specific acupoints in the hand and palm stimulates the nerves and tissues which then send a message to your spinal cord and brain to release the endorphins. In addition to the release of pain-blocking endorphins, electronic acupuncture can also restore better blood flow to those arthritis-prone areas. Better blood flow boosts oxygen levels, a plus for stimulating healing and easing discomfort. By unblocking the energy channels, you gain a feeling of well-being.
The good news is electronic acupuncture devices are quite affordable and you can use them for more than arthritis pain relief. The electromagnetic wave therapy you receive through this form of acupuncture treats a host of other conditions and even has a detect mode which can pinpoint undiagnosed problems.
