Ways Your Body Can Change After Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment that has been steadily gaining more respect and support in 
the last decade or two. As people begin to turn away from the use of addicting 
pharmaceuticals, they’ve become more open to exploring the world of natural medicine. 
One of the positive things about achieving a balance with the old world and new world is 
that you can end up undergoing a series of changes that create a very different 
experience from the one that may be familiar to you now previously.  

Less Chronic Pain
 
One of the most common ways in which your body will change for the better is that you 
may experience a major decrease in the chronic pain that you may have one felt before. 
After you have seen a professional acupuncturist, it is possible that you might end up 
clearing blockage that caused you to experience the pain. 

More Alertness

Sometimes the stresses that we feel can keep us from resting completely and 
efficiently. After your acupuncture session, sleep may become far more restful so that 
your night’s rest becomes 
deeper and more complete. Many people seeking their first treatment even fall asleep 
during the rest period before the needles are removed. 

Neck Muscle Changes

A lot of the pain that people experience in the body comes from tense muscles that are 
constricted into themselves and other nearby muscle groups. After a few treatments 
have taught these muscles how to relax into their natural state, a person could notice 
some small changes to their muscle structure which could result in them standing 
straighter, and seeming to have grown an inch or two. 

Less Anxiety 

With better rest, and a less tense daily posture, the physical manifestations of 
discomfort and anxiety will be very likely to have been reduced. The process of 
acupuncture can have a lasting effect on the way you carry your emotions and manifest 
them into your extremities. 

More Flexibility 

With so much of the dense, twisted muscle being free to finally open up and stretch out, 
you would notice an increased range of movement for a variety of muscle groups. Many 
of the knots and clustered muscles that can pinch nerves will be gone. This leads to 
increased flexibility, and a better quality of life that will sustain itself as long as you 
continue to maintain healthy practices.
