Everybody has experienced pain at some time or another. It is part of being human. Pain is the message of the body to a person that he has a strain, disease or injury that he needs to be aware of and to remedy the problem before it becomes life threatening. One would never know he is suffering from a torn muscle, wound on the stomach or intestines or has a burst appendix that may have released toxins in the body without the sensation of pain. Pain is very important for our health and existence.
Because it is so undesirable and distressful, people try to get rid of pain with various methods, the common one being the use of painkilling pharmaceuticals such as tranquilizers anti-depressants or narcotics. However, it is only the pain they kill, not the cause of the pain. This is only called pain relief not treatment because it only hides the cause of the pain and pain will always come back and even become chronic as long as the source is not treated.
Generally pain serves as a useful function for our health; however, there are certain types of pain that serve no purpose at all. Acute pain do act as warning signs for underlying serious problems but chronic pain is pain that stays with you even after the injury or ailment has long been treated. Some forms of chronic pain are arthritis, migraines and backache. There is no treatment for these types of chronic pain but the pain can be managed by various kinds of therapies.
Some therapies work through physiological means by controlling pain signals sent to and from the nerves and the brain. These treatments work by numbing the nerves or desensitizing them from feeling pain.

The rest of the world though has been enjoying and benefiting from this treatment for many thousands of years now. Acupuncture is part and parcel of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which follows the principle that energy balance and good flow in the body causes good health.
Acupuncture Miami is a uniquely Chinese healing procedure that follows the TCM principle. Acupuncturists believe that good health is caused by the amount of chi or energy present throughout the body.
