A great little post on the subject from @guelphcommunityacupuncture

Chronic pain can be so overwhelming that it’s hard to tell if acupuncture is helping. Regular treatment will often slowly chip away at issues that are chronic, but sometimes progress is less straightforward. How do you tell if acupuncture is working even though you’re still in pain? Here are some questions to ask yourself ... Am I taking less pain meds? If you forgot to take your meds, or you didn’t need them, that’s progress even if you’re still in pain. ✨Has the pain changed? Sometimes acupuncture shrinks the area of pain before it changes the intensity of the pain. Likewise, if the pain was very intense all day every day and now you’re getting windows of all the milder pain, that’s progress as well. ✨ Are you able to walk further or do more physical activity? We often see people doing more in their lives once they start acupuncture, sometimes before we even see the pain itself decrease. ✨ On a related note: did you feel so good after your treatment that you overdid it and re-injured yourself? It’s not uncommon for people to get excited when they feel better, overdo it and then have the pain set in again. That is a sign that the acupuncture is helping.✨Are you sleeping better or longer? Chronic pain often interferes with sleep. If you’re still in just as much pain during the day, but your sleep is better, then the acupuncture is most likely helping. Hopefully, you’ll experience daytime relief as well. ✨ Is your mood and focus better? Chronic pain demands a lot of our brains’ bandwidth. Acupuncture can help clear up mental fog, forgetfulness, anxiety or low mood. Sometimes peoples mood or focus improves before their pain does. #chronicpain #acupunctureinrecliners #guelph #slowlybutsurely ... See MoreSee Less
