If you’re anything like my senior patients, chronic pain is probably part of your life.
And you already know how the endless throbbing… aching… and limited mobility can turn your life upside down.
But your mainstream doc is NO HELP.
He’ll just hand you’re a script for an addictive, dangerous opioid drug.
Luckily, you DON’T have to take it.
Because researchers have found a better way to STOP your pain for good.
And it’s all thanks to this ancient medicine.
I’m talking about acupuncture.
This traditional Chinese medicine involves gently inserting needles into the skin at specific points along the body. But it doesn’t hurt… and some folks even find it relaxing.
Acupuncture has been practiced for well over 2500 years and is the most widely practiced form of alternative medicine. Many medical doctors are starting to incorporate it into their practice because it is almost without side-effects and the results are amazing.
And the latest research proves it.
A new study from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine looked into the safety, affordability, and effectiveness of acupuncture for pain relief and management.
For the experiment, researchers divided a group of arthritis sufferers into three groups. One got traditional acupuncture, one got sham acupuncture and one group got advice on how to manage pain.
At the end, they found that the real acupuncture group had the most dramatic results… reducing their pain by 40 percent.
These results are so dramatic that pain experts are hopeful that this drug-free treatment could one day replace dangerous pain pills.
And the best part? You can get started with it today.
