Acupuncture: How This Ancient Healing Art Helps in Modern Life

acupunctureAre you tired of dealing with chronic pain that’s keeping you from doing what you love? We get it. That’s why our practice offers acupuncture to provide targeted relief. We can access deep muscle tissue, break up adhesions, and increase blood flow to reduce inflammation.

Acupuncture is incredibly effective for neck pain, low back issues, TMJ, headaches, and shoulder problems.

What to Expect During Treatment

If you’ve never had acupuncture before, you may be concerned about the needles. Rest assured that the needles used are hair-thin and nothing like a hypodermic needle! Your acupuncture session will be surprisingly comfortable. While you may feel an initial pinch or pressure when needles are placed, these sensations quickly fade.

With electric stimulation, you’ll experience a mild tingling or pulsing feeling in treated areas. Most patients find the experience deeply relaxing and leave feeling refreshed. Each session typically lasts about 30-45 minutes, giving you time to relax and let the treatment work.

Combining Therapies for Optimal Results

Acupuncture works seamlessly with other treatments to enhance your results. “Acupuncture before an adjustment can help the adjustment go smoother with the muscles relaxed. Alternating massage and acupuncture works great to focus on the soft tissue. Acupuncture helps get deeper into the muscle or more stubborn areas,” shares Dr. Morgan.

This integrated approach often leads to faster healing and longer-lasting relief.

Your Path to Better Slumber and Reduced Stress

In addition to relieving pain, acupuncture helps calm your nervous system and release endorphins for better sleep and decreased anxiety. Specific points and protocols can be used to address insomnia, racing thoughts, and stress-related issues.

Most patients need 3-6 sessions for musculoskeletal conditions, while functional issues may require 6-12 treatments for optimal results. Your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and health goals.
