THE ROLE OF ACUPUNCTURE IN HEALING
As a time-tested tool of Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture works in conjunction with physical therapy, massage therapy, medication and other treatments to deliver a multi-disciplinary solution that promotes healing at the source of your problem.
It is claimed that acupuncture helps release toxins and infuses vibrant energy into weak or suffering areas of the body. The acupuncturist’s goal is to treat the root causes of pain, tension and disharmony. Acupuncture may be used as a healing mechanism on injured areas, or as a preventative measure to encourage strength and well-being.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR ACUPUNCTURE?
With musculoskeletal acupuncture, our specialists can relieve pain after sports and performance injuries, falls, systemic disorders, postural problems and other evidence of imbalance. Chronic stress and tension in the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons often relax after just one session as the acupuncturist uses safe, thin needles to target trigger points. Orthopedic conditions that may benefit from acupuncture include herniated discs, muscle sprains and strains, compression fractures, foot pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, back and neck pain, bursitis, tendonitis and many more.
For patients experiencing discomfort, the immediate goal of acupuncture treatment is to relieve pain. With the absence of pain, your team can focus directly on the underlying issue and apply a combination of orthopedic treatments to provide long-term relief.
