( Natural News ) As the opioid crisis continues to kill record numbers of people and ruin countless lives, many people are wishing for a better way to help people in pain. What few realize, however, is that there is already an excellent solution that can work even better than pain meds in some cases, although few doctors will mention it: acupuncture. This ancient Chinese medicine treatment has stood the test of time for a good reason: It actually works.

And the benefits make it well worth any reservations you might have about the procedure. Research has shown that acupuncture can be effective at relieving pain. While the Chinese explanation involves stimulating parts of the body in order to release a flow of energy, the Western explanation is that the needles stimulate a nerve, which tells the brain to release beta-endorphins. These work almost like your body’s own natural opioids to lower your pain threshold. Some theorize it may change the cells in the connective tissue surrounding the pressure points in ways that reduce pain. Studies have shown that it can help with pain in the neck and back, headaches, and osteoarthritis pain. In research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine that pooled the results of 29 different studies involving almost 18,000 people, acupuncture relieved people’s pain by 50 percent. A different review carried out by Canadian researchers found that acupuncture worked to safely and effectively relieve neck pain.
