How Acupuncture Helps Manage Pain

The mechanisms behind acupuncture’s effectiveness for pain relief have been extensively studied over the last 60 years. Research has mapped the neural pathways stimulated by acupuncture points, showing how they affect the spinal cord and deactivate pain centres in the brain.

Acupuncture is known to:

  • Stimulate the release of the body’s natural opioids

  • Increase the brain's sensitivity to pain-relieving chemicals

  • Regulate biochemicals involved in pain relief, including ATP, adenosine, GABA, and substance P

Unlike many pharmaceutical treatments, acupuncture offers a safe, effective alternative with minimal side effects — providing long-term relief for various types of pain.

​

Acupuncture for Sports Injuries and Performance

Training for a sporting event or recovering from a sports injury? Acupuncture is increasingly popular among professional athletes and sports teams, including Premiership football clubs, the British Rugby team, and the British Olympic team.

Acupuncture helps to:

  • Treat musculoskeletal pain and injuries

  • Support faster recovery

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Improve overall performance

  • Alleviate anxiety and enhance mental focus

Whether you're an amateur runner or a professional athlete, acupuncture can help keep your body in peak condition and support your athletic goals.
