Taking prescription drugs to reduce pain brings temporary relief, but doesn’t address the actual cause. Over time, this may create even more symptoms and increase our overall desire for more medication. I offer patients a gentle and natural way to alleviate and manage pain without the side effects of medications.
In the clinic, I bring together western anatomy, physiology, and nutrition with the traditional knowledge of acupuncture to help you resolve physical trauma while also addressing crucial emotional components related to the trauma.
Chronic & Acute Back Pain
Back pain can be debilitating, inhibiting us from life’s simple tests such as walking, exercising or even bending over to pick something off the floor. Acupuncture has a remarkable ability to treat pain related to scoliosis, disc herniation, sciatica and general back aches and pain. It resolves pain by decreasing inflammation, increasing oxygen and blood flow to the site of pain so the body can naturally heal itself. Acupuncture also works in conjunction with chiropractic therapy, softening the muscles and increasing your range of motion. Making adjustment easier and holding them for longer periods of time.
Repetitive Stress Syndrome
Repetitive stress injuries are some of the most common job-related injuries and can lead to a high number of days away from work. Acupuncture is effective in treating repetitive stress injuries and can eliminate the need for surgery or drugs. Acupuncture provides drug-free pain relief, while also reducing local swelling and inflammation.
Migraines & Headaches
Acupuncture has been used to treat headaches for thousands of years. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce days with migraines and may have lasting effects. With the most common side effects being a sense of euphoria and relaxation, acupuncture is a choice treatment for those seeking a less invasive, drug-free option.
