CONDITIONS

Acute & Chronic pain

The cause of pain varies from person to person and even within the same person. For some, it’s their job- improper ergonomics, prolonged sitting and stress. For others, it’s repetitive strain or injury. How does pain impact your life? How long have you endured it? Are you ready to feel better? 

Acute pain typically improves in 1-3 treatments depending on lifestyle and the severity of pain. Chronic conditions may take up to 5-10 weekly treatments. 

Some of the common conditions we help are:

• Whiplash
• Muscle Tension
• Athletic Injuries
• Chronic Inflammation
• Neuropathy
• Bursitis
• Headaches
• TMJ Pain 
• Migraines
• Fibromyalgia
• Neck Pain

Allergies

Acupuncture can reduce the inflammatory process so your body is less reactive to the allergen. For the best results, start treatments once a week for three weeks before the beginning of your allergy season.

Common conditions and symptoms related to seasonal allergies are:

• Hay Fever
• Runny Nose
• Itchy Eyes
• Chronic Sinusitis
• Sinus Headaches
• Bronchitis
• Backache Due to Cough

Facial and back cupping is great for these types of conditions.

STRESS

Your body’s stress response is designed to keep you away from danger, which is a good thing. If you’re trying to escape from a lion, your stress response will help you to do so. Its beneficial to have a surge of adrenalin, increased heart rate and dilated pupils because that is what you need to get you out of there. It’s when people get stuck in this state of “fight or flight” for long periods of time that problems and dysfunction arise.

Acupuncture regulates the nervous system by getting you into a more relaxed “rest and digest” state. As a result, basic bodily functions such as sleep and digestion greatly improve.

Common stress related conditions:

• IBS
• Anxiety
• Brain Fog
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Chronic pain
• Depression
• Chronic Fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
