Besides painkillers, any other ways to cope with pain? In 2003, the World Health Organization analysed the scope and efficacy of acupuncture in treating various illnesses, and pointed out that acupuncture has positive effects on treating different types of pain, such as headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, tennis elbow, low back pain, sciatica, knee osteoarthritis and foot pain, etc. Acupuncture is a safe treatment with no toxicity. During an acupuncture treatment, patients may feel slight sensations such as soreness, numbness, heaviness, or swelling. By stimulating acupoints along the meridians, acupuncture can adjust the nerves, endocrine, and immune systems, and achieve the effect of preventing and treating diseases.  🔎Click here to view the article (*in Chinese only) by a Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner to learn more about how Chinese medicine acupuncture can help relieve pain and some common acupoints. 中醫針灸治痛症   痛症可影響情緒及日常生活，除了服用止痛藥物外，還有什麼方法可以幫助減輕痛楚？於2003年，世界衛生組織分析了針灸治療各種病症的範圍及療效，指出針灸對不少痛症例如頭痛、頸痛、肩臂痛、網球肘、腰背疼痛、坐骨神經痛、膝關節骨性關節炎、腳痛等都有良好的效用。 針灸的特點是無毒性及作用安全。過程中患者會有輕微的酸、麻、重、脹等感覺，而透過刺激經絡穴位，調整神經、內分泌及免疫系統，就可達到防治疾病的效果。 如想了解更多中醫針灸如何幫助病人舒緩痛症以及一些常用的穴位，🔎請按此閱讀由註冊中醫師撰寫的文章。 3-in-1 "Booster": Experts Talk to Get Your Child Mind, Body and Social Ready Post-Covid!
