Precision Acupuncture for Pain Relief & Healing
Medical acupuncture is a modern, evidence-based approach that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate your body’s natural healing systems. At Middletown Chiropractic, we use acupuncture to reduce pain, improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and support overall wellness.
What Is Medical Acupuncture?
Medical acupuncture targets specific anatomical points to influence nervous, circulatory, and immune systems. Derived from traditional Chinese methods, it is adapted for modern clinical use using sterile needles, electrical stimulation, and precise protocols for optimal results.
Pain Reduction via Neural Stimulation
Needle placement stimulates nerves that trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, including endorphins and neurotransmitters.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Research shows acupuncture activates pathways that regulate inflammation, calming conditions like arthritis and chronic pain .
Promotes Circulation & Tissue Repair
Needle stimulation increases local blood flow, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to aid tissue healing .
Targeted Muscle Relief Through Dry Needling
Dry needling is a modern technique that uses thin, sterile needles to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. While it shares tools with traditional acupuncture, dry needling is applied differently, focusing on trigger points and muscular tension rather than energy flow.
This technique increases blood flow to injured or tight tissue, helping reduce inflammation and promote healing. It’s especially effective for acute injuries, chronic pain, and muscle spasms. While not typically used for general wellness, it can help relax overactive muscles and restore mobility in areas of strain or tension.
