Acupuncture for Chronic Pain Relief
Did you know? Acupuncture can be used to help with chronic pain relief such as:
Back Pain
Arthritis
IBS
Neuropathy
Headaches
Chronic Pain takes its toll over time and can negatively impact every aspect of our lives. Acupuncture is known to reduce pain by increasing circulation and reducing inflammation.
Because Chinese Medicine takes an integrative approach, and seeing as the body is an interconnected unit, acupuncture works on pain reduction. It may also improve quality of sleep and boost the digestive process, which can be a game changer as restful sleep and a healthy gut are both known to play an important role in pain management.
How quickly do you start to see results? Everyone responds differently to treatment but it’s quite common to start seeing notable improvements within the first 5 appointments ( with treatments done closer together in the beginning to build momentum).
How long will you continue to see results? As with other self-care routines (such as appropriate-for-you physical activity, stretching and eating well), consistency is KEY! As chronic pain abates acupuncture treatments can be tapered down to maintenance level treatments (e.g 1-2 per month).
