At Still Well Pain Management, we believe in a holistic approach to pain management and overall wellness. Our acupuncture service offers a safe, effective, and natural therapy that can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and enhance your body’s innate healing abilities.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupuncture points, are believed to be connected by pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to restore the balance of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), within the body.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
During an acupuncture session at Still Well Pain Management, our skilled acupuncturist will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. Using sterile needles, they will gently insert them into specific acupuncture points on your body. The needles are typically left in place for a designated period, allowing the body to respond and restore its natural balance.
Benefits of Acupuncture:
Pain Relief: Acupuncture has been shown to effectively alleviate acute and chronic pain, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, migraines, and neuropathic pain. By targeting the body’s energy flow and stimulating the release of endorphins, acupuncture can help reduce pain and promote natural healing.
Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Acupuncture treatments are known to induce a deep sense of relaxation and reduce stress levels. By targeting specific points associated with stress relief, acupuncture can help calm the mind, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall emotional well-being.
Enhanced Physical and Mental Well-being: Acupuncture is not only used for pain management but also for promoting overall health and wellness. Regular acupuncture sessions can help boost the immune system, improve energy levels, enhance mental clarity, and support general vitality.
