+ Acute and Chronic Pain

Studies have shown that acupuncture helps alleviate chronic pain and it comes without the side effects of more common treatments like surgery and prescription medications.

It is estimated that over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain (pain lasting for more than three months) with low back, mid back, upper back, hip, shoulder, knee, elbow and joint pain being the most common complaints.

The process increases blood flow and triggers the release of the body’s internal chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins, which have pain-relieving properties. Acupuncture can help manage chronic pain and related disability associated with back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, neck pain, and severe headaches or migraines.

+ Pelvic Pain and Dysfunction

A common condition that people are shy to discuss. We have been successfully treating chronic pelvic pain for twenty years. It is often a complicated condition that responds well to both expert acupuncture and myofascial treatment.

+ Sports Injuries

Acupuncture has been proven to accelerate the healing of several types of sports injuries such as sprains, strains and spasms. It relieves pain, decreases inflammation, and increases blood flow resulting in quicker recovery and enhanced performance.

+ Wrinkles and Anti-aging

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to increase circulation and collagen formation. Only in recent years have similar treatments like microneedling and dermarolling become popular.

Wrinkle reduction, improved tone and complextion are all positive benefits especially when coupled with our powerful LED devices that increase skin cell metabolism.

+ Insomnia, Sleep & Depression

Insomnia and depression are often linked and can be a result of chronic stress. The WHO estimates that more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression. It’s also the world’s leading cause of disability.

Acupuncture treatment is associated with an increase in the level of neurobiologically active substances, such as endorphins and enkephalins. There are also data indicating that acupuncture induces the release of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine.

In addition, a meta-analysis of research regarding the use of acupuncture for insomnia indicates that it is an effective treatment method. Additionally, acupuncture is a holistic medicine, treating not only the symptoms but also the primary cause without medication.

+ Stress & Anxiety

Stress has become part of everyday life and when unchecked it can lead to more serious concerns. Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States. It’s estimated that 40 million adults ages 18 and older, or 18 percent of the country’s population, have an anxiety disorder.

Acupuncture has been proven to reduce stress, preventing the onset of several chronic conditions including anxiety, head and neck pain, weight gain, and insomnia. Acupuncture provides a safe and effective option for those seeking a natural approach to the treatment of stress and anxiety related symptoms.

+ Digestive Disorders

Acupuncture is widely recognized as an effective treatment for many digestive ailments including nausea, vomiting, heartburn and stomach pain.

Preliminary studies show that it may also be an option for treating chronic constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease. Acupuncture works by rebalancing the endocrine system and assists the body in optimizing digestion.

Both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) support Acupuncture in the treatment of various digestive disorders based on Randomized Controlled Trials.

+ Allergies

Studies have shown that acupuncture decreases the symptoms of seasonal allergies such as a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy and watering eyes. Many patients report relief during their first visit, and ongoing treatments enhance the benefits and keep symptoms at bay according to the National Institutes of Health.

+ Migraines & Headaches

The Journal of the American Medical Association recently published a study showing that acupuncture helped reduce the frequency of migraines in participants who were chronic sufferers. Acupuncture offers a more natural approach to migraines and headaches without the side effects that often accompany medication.

+ Relaxation

Acupuncture promotes deep relaxation by activating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system or “rest, digest and recover” functions. Reaching this state is essential to restoring and maintaining health. That is why regular acupuncture, twice a month of more, is always recommended.
