According to international literature and extensive experience from treatments, small areas of inflammation (trigger points) in muscles can be the cause of chronic and therapy-resistant pain. Special attention should therefore be paid to complaints such as these.  <\/div><div> <\/div><div>As humans have over 400 muscles, trigger points can be responsible for many of the <span style=\"color: #2d2620cc;\"><b>pain disorders<\/b><\/span> are responsible.

Trigger points are localized areas of muscle stiffness where only specific muscle fibres are affected rather than the whole muscle. By placing thin needles at the trigger points, the blood flow and oxygen supply in the affected muscle can be increased, which can lead to the release of endorphins. These endogenous painkillers can help to relieve pain and promote muscle relaxation.   <\/div><div> <\/div><div>In addition, the <span style=\"color: #2d2620cc;\"><b>stimulation of the nerves<\/b><\/span> by acupuncture can help to interrupt the pain signals and promote the body&#8217;s own healing.
