Pain Management

Whether acute or chronic, pain can make it tough to get through the day. It is estimated that 25.3 million Americans suffer from daily pain. The most common sources of pain reported are: low back pain (29%), neck pain (16%), and severe headaches or migraines (15%).
​Acupuncture activates many of the body’s own natural pain-blocking opioids and other pain reducing biochemicals, making it highly effective for pain reduction and management. In a systematic review of 13 clinical control trials of the use of acupuncture for acute pain, many reported that acupuncture was more effective than both sham needling and injections with painkillers. Furthermore, another extensive study revealed that 454,920 patients treated with acupuncture for chronic headaches, low back pain, and/or osteoarthritis had an effectiveness rate of 76%. This effectiveness rate far exceeds that of opioid use for chronic pain, which is only 23% effective.

Women's Health

Research has shown that acupuncture can help regulate hormones that are responsible for a regular menstrual cycle, ​healthy reproduction, fertility, and balancing menopausal symptoms. No matter what season of your life you in, acupuncture can bring harmony to your body.  Conditions commonly treated: 

  • Menopausal Symptoms

  • Menstrual Irregularities

  • PCOS

  • PMS & PMDD

  • Thyroid Dysfunction

  • Insulin Resistance

  • Adrenal Disorders

  • Infertility

  • IVF/IUI Support

Mental Health

Having a healthy state of mind is important in maintaining overall good health. The mind and the body are interconnected, the way you think affects the way you feel in your body. Subsequently, how you feel in your body can affect how you think. This connection explains why depression elicits body heaviness and sluggishness while exacerbating negative thoughts and difficulty concentrating. Acupuncture has a powerful effect on this mind-body connection. It can lift the state of mind by directly stimulating biochemicals, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and BDNF. It also affects certain parts of the brain, such as: the prefrontal cortex (i.e., rational thought, reason, planning, personality, and proper social behavior) and limbic regions (i.e., survival behaviors and emotions) that are thought to be responsible for mental illness. Acupuncture also helps the body relax tension and pain by stimulating many of the body’s own natural pain-blocking opioids and endorphins.

Cancer support

Acupuncture can be a key adjunct therapy in cancer treatment. Acupuncture helps reduce many symptoms that are side-effects of cancer treatments such as nausea, vomiting, cancer-related pain, neuropathy, and fatigue. Acupuncture not only helps all these symptoms but does so without any side-effects or interference with cancer treatments. As a result, acupuncture can enhance your quality of life throughout all stages of your cancer treatment.  Conditions commonly treated:

  • Nausea & Vomiting

  • Immune Support

  • Neuropathy

  • Cancer-Related Pain

  • Fatigue

  • ​Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
