Pain

Are you in Pain? Are you unable to do things you used to?
​

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system of health care that has been practiced for thousands of years. It includes various therapies, with acupuncture being one of the most well-known. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate and regulate the flow of "Qi" (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy.

 

One of the key benefits of acupuncture is its ability to improve blood circulation and energy flow throughout the body. This enhanced circulation can help reduce inflammation, increase the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues, and promote faster healing. When you’re injured, acupuncture can facilitate the body's natural healing processes, potentially reducing recovery time and minimizing pain and discomfort.

 

Additionally, acupuncture has been scientifically shown to trigger the release of certain neurochemicals in the brain, such as serotonin and endorphins. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness, while endorphins are the body's natural painkillers. These chemicals can help improve pain symptoms and elevate mood, making acupuncture an effective tool for managing both physical pain and emotional stress.

How many treatments will I need?
​

For acute pain, we recommend 2 visits a week for 2 weeks. Pain relief may often be felt after the first one or two treatments.

​

For chronic pain, we recommend 2 visits a week for 2-3 weeks, tapering down to once a week when the symptoms relieve, for a total of approximately 8 treatments. Pain reduction is often felt after 2-4 visits, but treatment time for chronic pain varies between individuals.

 

Herbal medicine is often used as a compliment to acupuncture for pain relief. It supports the overall health of the body in order to speed healing, decrease inflammation, and promote blood circulation.

 

Other complementary therapies can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture, such as chiropractic treatment, massage therapy, physiotherapy, and fitness training.

Testimonial

"Kelsey is incredible! She is so calming, caring and she is a healer. I first went to her because I was getting constant headaches, but about a day and a half after she gave me cupping and acupuncture, my headaches basically disappeared. After experiencing nearly instant relief of my problem that had been bugging me for months, I started seeing her every few weeks for maintenance work and to iron out other things. My experiences with her made me a true believer in her practice and I think she is amazing at what she does."
