Is Acupuncture for you?

I am often asked what acupuncture can be used to treat and I think it’s a great question.  I am always tempted to answer “everything! acupuncture treats everything!” because, the truth is, it is a therapy which treats the whole person- physical, mental, emotional.  But that answer doesn’t really narrow it down. So rather than explain what acupuncture could do I want to share my experience on what it has done for my patients.

In my clinical experience I have treated many conditions with acupuncture and here are the conditions I have treated most successfully:

Muscle Tension and Pain– this is absolutely the most be
neficial outcome of acupuncture! Having a strong understanding of anatomy, how muscles work and treating the root cause and location of pain has been effective in getting my patients relief.  The most common conditions I treat are neck and shoulder tension, low back pain, rotator cuff strains, knee pain and arthritis.

Insomnia– the agonizing feeling of not being able to sleep has brought many patients to my office and acupuncture has always helped.  By focusing on calming, relaxing and grounding points on the body, most patients have a better sleep after their first treatment!

Again the Brothers Montgolfier were pioneers in that respect that they were the first to make people feeling relieved on line viagra devensec.com from their condition. However, when the body runs out of ways to compensate, or the compensating mechanisms finally give up, the white flag goes up in the form of pain signals. cialis canadian Anyway, that’s the news from the top!

PMS symptoms– whether it’s emotional symptoms or pain, acupuncture has helped reduce the cyclic discomfort women experience pre-menstrually.  These treatments are especially effective because they are based on each individuals unique symptoms, ensuring all aspects of hormone health are addressed.

Fertility– combining weekly acupuncture visits with fertility treatments (conventional or naturopathic) have increased the success rates of pregnancies.  The focus of acupuncture treatments becomes nourishing the body, balancing hormones by supporting the menstrual cycle and building the uterus so that it is ready to conceive.

Menopause– many women suffer from a unique combination of menopause symptoms whether it’s hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, digestive concerns or fatigue.  By taking a thorough intake in order to understand the whole picture acupuncture treatments can be specifically geared to treat each individual symptom.

Stress– we all know stress is inevitable but how we manage it is what matters.  Taking 30 minutes out of your day to lay, relax and focus on deep breathing while acupuncture needles work their magic has proven to reduce stress in many of my patients.

Headaches & Migraines– those who suffer from chronic headaches or migraines know how valuable reducing their pain can be, especially if it’s without the use of medication.  Acupuncture treatments have been effective at reducing and even eliminating headache / migraine pain by targeting its root cause and releasing head, neck and shoulder muscle tension.
