There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.– Mr. Rogers
There is evidence that acupuncture influences the production of and distribution of a great many neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, and that this in turn alters the perception of pain.– David Eisenberg
