Acupuncture

The practice of acupuncture is simple but the therapeutic effects are truly profound.  The benefits are multi-layered as it's common for patients to experience improved digestion, sleep, mood, energy and immunity as well as a decrease in pain.  

 

In terms of pain management, acupuncture sessions trigger the release the of body's natural pain-killers: endorphins.  These endorphins are the body's homemade opioids, which not only reduce pain but also relax the nervous system to a state where body can recover more efficiently. 

 

Additionally, the needles themselves can release hypertonic muscles, unwind knots of fascia, and reduce local and systemic inflammation. 

​

This is just a snapshot of what acupuncture can do for pain management.  For more information, reach out for a no-cost consultation or check out our blog.

For pain management, I have found that a combination acupuncture and massage garners the best results.  For this reason, I offer 60 minute and 90 minute acupuncture + massage sessions.

​

For  internal conditions, acupuncture alongside dietary counseling and herbal medicine can be more helpful and not require as much massage therapy.  These sessions will often include a front and back treatment and last 45 - 60 minutes.
