Research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness in providing muscle relief, particularly for conditions involving chronic pain and muscle tension. A study published in The Journal of Pain (2017) demonstrated that acupuncture reduced pain intensity and improved muscle function in individuals with conditions like myofascial pain syndrome, a common cause of chronic muscle tightness and discomfort. Acupuncture is believed to work by stimulating the nervous system and increasing blood flow to affected muscles, which promotes relaxation and healing. Additionally, a 2018 review in Frontiers in Neurology highlighted how acupuncture releases trigger points in muscles, alleviating tension and improving mobility. This, combined with the release of endorphins and modulation of inflammatory responses, makes acupuncture an effective and low-risk treatment option for muscle pain relief, enhancing recovery and overall physical function.
