Acupuncture for Pain

Acupuncture is an effective, natural option to treat pain and injuries by:

• Relaxing the muscles/tissues and reducing pain from injuries or conditions such as sciatica, migraines, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, arthritis, neck and back pain, joint issues, and more.
• Accelerating healing by helping blood flow to an area to decrease or eliminate inflammation and swelling in the tissues.
• Acting as a natural alternative to drugs or surgery or enhancing healing before or after surgery.
• Helping to relax the nervous system, improving sleep, decreasing stress and boosting health.
•Optimizing function of organs necessary for proper healing and pain prevention

Many people today are experiencing constant, daily pain and do not realize that a few short Acupuncture treatments could give them a better quality of life. If you are living in pain continually, it may cause unnecessary stress on your body, affecting sleep patterns and the quality of your life in many ways.

In my clinic, I have seen a notable increase in people who are seeking Acupuncture treatments to relieve arthritic pain and other types of pain. Acupuncture can help to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, release endorphins, and strengthen the problem area. At the same time Acupuncture helps support the organs which may be at the root of many pain problems.

Acupuncture is proven effective in treating sports injuries and injuries arising from car accidents. The sooner you can promote blood flow to the damaged area, to bring down inflammation, the less chance there will be of residual weakness. If surgery is required acupuncture can be effective to add into the treatment plan, set out by your doctor.

Research reports show that MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans reveal a dramatic decrease of activity in the pain centres of the brain, of up to 70%, after Acupuncture treatments.
