Work Injuries
Acupuncture in the Workers’ Compensation System
Physicians, Claims Examiners and Case Managers must understand that acupuncture is applicable in a variety of soft tissue injuries and is advantageous to those injured workers suffering with chronic pain and restrictions in range of motion. Despite consulting some of the finest specialists, receiving conventional treatment modalities and medications for extended periods of time, a great number of injured workers continue to experience pain, preventing them from performing their job related duties and limiting their Activities of Daily Living.
Acupuncture has withstood the rigorous demands of the California Workers’ Compensation System, and has proven effective.
Therefore, acupuncture is not to be considered a "novelty" saved for the rare time a patient requests it. In order to provide the best care possible, which should be every Health Care Providers volition, the Treating Physician must inform their patients that acupuncture is available to them when all else fails.
Any injured worker struggling with chronic pain, who has not experienced lasting relief from the customary surface stimulation techniques such as ultrasound, electro muscle stimulation, manipulation, heat, etc. is an excellent candidate for a trial of acupuncture.
Acupuncture provides the precision and depth necessary to address unresolved muscle spasms, adhesions and the various complications associated with soft tissue injuries.

There has been considerable evidence to support that acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, releasing these chemicals.

These particular chemicals play a direct role in the sensation of pain as well as the activity of an organ or organs. Evidence has shown that acupuncture alters this secretion in a manner that reduces pain. Documentation has also shown that acupuncture positively affects immune functions in the body.
