Chronic Pain.

Chronic Pain

When your body is in pain; pinched nerves, tight muscles, inflammation, anatomical disfigurement or atrophy, it cannot send or receive signals correctly, this will have an impact on your brain, nervous system and organs. When your brain cannot send or receive correct signals,  When the brain is unable to receive proper messages, it can have a negative impact on our emotions and stress levels.

I take pride in my patients feeling educated about their bodies and the impact their pain could be having on them. Given my personal experience with pain, acupuncture was the only practice that helped me heal without further aggravating my injuries. 

Each patient's experience with pain is different. During treatment I aim to find which particular muscles or bone structures are involved: some muscles will be severely tense and others may not be engaged at all. My goal is for my patient's to be pain free, with tight muscles loosened and weak muscles strengthened.

Severe issues such as tears, osteoarthritis, tendinitis and fractures are conditions I treat on a regular basis. They require unique attention, and in chronic cases, osteoarthritis will need surgery if not treated early enough.

The reason acupuncture works for pain is that we can directly target the nervous system of muscles, tendons and joints involved. Through needling and cupping we are able to support and reset the areas from an unhealthy state, back to its full, regular function. We can also use acupuncture points to signal the brain to increase production of pain-relieving chemicals, blood cell production, bone marrow production and inflammation reducing hormones. 

It is a great joy seeing a patient regain their liveliness through ridding pain. In the process of correcting pain or an injury, patients will also notice healthier digestion, better sleep, mental clarity and increased ability to handle stress.
