Acupuncture Treatments
Musculoskeletal Pain Relief
Myofascial trigger point needling and orthopedic acupuncture treats all kinds of musculoskeletal pain including chronic back, neck and knee pain by releasing contracted muscle tissue and myofascial tightness. Joint pain and arthritis benefit from the anti-inflammatory properties of needling as well as reducing pressure on the joint spaces from neurological strain
Treatments are tailored to include manual release techniques to get optimal results.
Scar tissue
Scar tissue can cause adhesions between layers of skin , muscle or fascia resulting in disorganized circulation and innervation around the scar. Scars can continue to grow internally for up to 18 months after the initial trauma. This can cause lines of tension in the body that prohibit movement or restrict flow of chi. Needling scars helps to reduce inflammation, break up adhesions and stimulate healthy nerve response.
Anxiety and Depression
Acupuncture is a safe way to treat depression and anxiety without unwanted side effects that can impact a patient’s daily life.
Studies have reported positive results in treating a variety of anxiety disorders such as PTSD, ADHD as well as difficulty regulating moods or managing addictions.
Treats Hormone Imbalance
Acupuncture can be a woman’s best friend as she goes through the varied stages of her life. From PMS to fertility to post menopause, Acupuncture can reduce or eliminate symptoms that include, pain, tenderness, acne, cramping, insomnia and hot flashes. It can help regulate the menstrual cycle, increasing fertility by restoring ovulation and creating a balanced environment that is ideal for pregnancy and implantation.
Pregnancy, Labor & Postpartum Health
Acupuncture can help with morning sickness, as well as any musculoskeletal pain that comes with the physical changes pregnancy brings. Treatment can also help alleviate anxiety and emotional distress associated with the stress of pregnancy.
When a woman is full term, acupuncture can prepare her for labor and help induce labor. After giving birth the hormonal surges a new mother experiences that causes postpartum depression and feelings of overwhelm can be helped by acupuncture.
Neurological
The underlying effectiveness of Acupuncture is its ability to bring the body back to a parasympathetic state. This is when the nervous system is focused on “rest and digest.” When your body is able to return its energy to a calm state the blood is able to repair and clean the internal environment. This helps to balance and gain cellular energy.
