Need Help Relieving Pain? Try Acupuncture!

Living with chronic pain, headaches, or nerve pain can be extremely difficult. You may find yourself missing out on important moments in your life which can take a toll on you and your family. If you’re ready to take pain management into your own hands, it’s time to give acupuncture a try. 

What is Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture is a treatment that uses small, thin needles to address pain-inducing regions within the body. Sessions can last upwards of 60 minutes, typically one or two times a week and the overall plan timeframe will depend on the need of each client. Life-changing relief is often found after 2-3 treatments of one hour.

Focusing on specific acupuncture points can help you get back to living your life to the fullest; no longer will you have to miss out on important moments due to your levels of pain. Adding acupuncture to your pain management regimen can give you back the freedom and quality of life you deserve.

Our TCM acupuncture benefits include assisting in removing “blockages” of blood flow and nutrients to targeted areas. This allows us to treat areas of inflammation without creating dispersed irritation to nerves and tissue responses involved in pain. Acupuncture can provide targeted pain relief, better sleep, and less anxiety, giving you physical and mental solace. 

What Happens During an Acupuncture Treatment? 

Treatments are conducted in a relaxing environment. Depending on the areas you’re experiencing pain, you may be lying down on your back (supine) or stomach (prone). These positions can help to enhance the treatment through relaxation.

Once you are situated, our professional acupuncturist will insert small needles into specific locations to target the pain-inducing region. Our trained chiropractic professionals use acupuncture points that target pathways to the digestive system and immune system, to provide you with relief from the underlying causes of your pain.  

Most patients have a pleasurable experience and some even fall asleep. Others report feeling slight pressure or a small sting at the site of needle placement or as the muscle grabs hold of the needle. Overall, you can expect the relief you’ll experience with this treatment to be well worth any mild discomfort you may experience during the sessions. 

What are the Benefits of Acupuncture for Pain Management? 

There are many benefits of acupuncture including but not limited to sciatica, neck pain, dental pain, tennis elbow, and migraines. Acupuncture is used as a method of pain management for these physical discomforts, but can also help with certain endocrine or cardiovascular concerns.
