TCM Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat pain management and TMJ pain, TMJ neuralgia, migraines, vertigo, nausea, and headaches. Western researchers have found acupuncture reduces pain sensation through direct stimulation of the nerve, which changes the quality of signaling along nerve cells. Further studies show acupuncture directly stimulates the release of endorphins and neurotransmitters, which are naturally occurring substances that help dampen and block pain perception by the brain.
