Pain Management & Orthopedics
Chronic pain is an epidemic in the U.S. and the most common reason people seek acupuncture and integrative therapies. Studies show that acupuncture relieves both acute and chronic pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, decreasing inflammation, increasing range of motion, and increasing healing. We recognize that along with chronic pain, you may also suffer from insomnia, anxiety, digestive concerns, emotional stressors, reduced functioning of the immune system, and withdrawal or overuse of pain medications. Individuals suffering from orthopedic or post-surgical pain, sports injuries, intercostal neuralgia, back pain, sciatica, arthritis, migraines, nerve compression syndrome, gynecological pain conditions, osteoarthritis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or opioid dependence may experience relief using our integrative approach.
Post-COVID & COVID Vaccine Adverse Effects
Post-COVID conditions and COVID-19 vaccination adverse effects may be treated with acupuncture. Studies show the primary therapeutic pathways of acupuncture include anti-inflammation, immunity activation, and nervous system modulation. Symptoms alleviated may include shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, tiredness or fatigue, post-exertion malaise, brain fog, cough, chest or stomach pain, headache, heart palpitations, joint or muscle pain, neuropathic pain, diarrhea, sleep issues, fever, tinnitus, lightheadedness, fasciculations, rashes, mood changes, changes in smell or taste, changes in menstrual periods, and more.
Neurology
Acupuncture has clinical efficacy on various nerve-related disorders and can provide symptomatic relief and improvements for conditions such as ALS, epilepsy, concussion, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, tremors, fasciculations, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, stroke recovery, and more.
Rheumatology & Autoimmune
Rheumatic diseases can cause joint pain, chronic inflammation, and loss of range of motion. Studies have shown that acupuncture and electroacupuncture can significantly lower factors associated with chronic inflammation such as tumor necrosis factor-α and vascular endothelial growth factor. Acupuncture studies report a reduction in inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein. Acupuncture has been shown to help in conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, lupus, Lyme disease, osteoporosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, scleroderma, Sjogren’s syndrome, and more.
Gastroenterology
Acupuncture has been considered an effective method for treating gastrointestinal dysfunction. Physical and emotional factors influence our gastrointestinal system.
