After undergoing certain types of surgery, it is common to experience pain and discomfort for an extended period of time. Fortunately, acupuncture has been proven to help alleviate many forms of postoperative pain.
What Causes Postoperative Pain?
Postoperative pain is often the result of tissue injury sustained during the medical operation and muscle spasms that may occur afterward. More than 3 out of 4 people suffer from acute pain shortly after the surgery, and a significant number may develop chronic pain.
