Acupuncture For Pain in Eden Prairie

We understand how disruptive chronic pain can be to your daily life. Whether it’s affecting your ability to move comfortably, sleep well, or stay active, our goal is to help your body function and feel its best again.

Acupuncture for pain relief is the most common reason patients visit our Eden Prairie clinic. Many people come to us after trying other treatments without lasting results. If you feel like you’ve run out of options and haven’t tried acupuncture yet, you’re in the right place.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing response—helping reduce inflammation, improve circulation, relax tight muscles, and calm the nervous system. Within a few treatments, we can typically determine how your body is responding and whether acupuncture is the right approach for your pain.

Our focus is not just short-term relief, but helping you move better, recover more fully, and get back to living without constant discomfort. Learn more about how acupuncture works for chronic pain here.

How Does Acupuncture for Pain Work?

Endorphins

Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals.

Inflammation

Acupuncture reduces inflammation by increasing blood flow. This helps to alleviate pain by reducing swelling and easing stiffness in joints and muscles.

Pain Signals

Acupuncture stimulates sensory nerves. This process modulates how pain signals are sent to the brain, potentially dulling the sensation of pain.

Serotonin

Acupuncture can impact the release of serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. This balance helps with pain management and improving mood disorders.
