Dr.Zhou's Acupuncture and Wellness Clinic Milwaukee

The use of acupuncture for pain relief is gaining acceptance in the U.S. So many people with pain, whether from cancer, headache, or a chronic, unexplained condition, rely on medications, such as morphine, which can become addicting.
Acupuncture has no side effects, and other studies have shown the pain relief it provides can last for months.

Inserting needles into key acupuncture points in the body stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These endorphins, cortisol, ACTH will either change the experience of pain or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones that influence the body’s own internal regulating system. Some of these substances are 50 to 100 times more potent at pain relief than many prescription drugs.
