Do you struggle with activities you enjoy or even activities of daily living because of chronic pain? Whether due to injury or degenerative conditions, prescription pain medicines are a treatment standard which commonly result in unpleasant side effects and dependency.  

 

The field of pain management is currently experiencing an unprecedented opioid crisis. Acupuncture therapy is a viable solution and has zero side effects or dependency. Infact, medical research demonstrates that acupuncture proudly relieves pain, reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation, and facilitates our innate biochemical healing mechanisms.

Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality of traditional Chinese medicine with ancient wisdom dating back over 1500 years.  It involves inserting single-use, sterile, extremely thin micro needles into the body at specific anatomical locations which induce physiological and analgesic effects. Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body. Acupuncture also has a profound effect on the nervous system and helps to regulate the release of certain hormones and neurotransmitters, which can reduce inflammation, affect mood, sleep, and other bodily functions.

No, acupuncture does not hurt. Not even a little bit. And it's nothing like the experience of a blood draw or injection. The micro needles are as thin as a strand of hair, literally! Infact, they are so thin that you can fit nearly 16 of them within the diameter of a hypodermic needle.
