HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE HELP WITH PAIN?

  • Numerous studies have shown acupuncture treatments can effectively eliminate and reduce acute and chronic pain.

  • Help regenerate chondrocyte and collagen as seen on MRI.

  • Improves muscle strength and decrease tightness to help lubricate the joint and improve blood flow to the joint

  • Helps reduce inflammation, swelling as it activates the lymphatic system to help drain swelling.​​

 

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

  • Every individual's treatment is different, depending on their condition.

  • For acute and excruciating pain we recommend 3-7 sessions until pain is resolved.

  • For long standing chronic pain we recommend at least 2-3 sessions per week for three weeks. Once improvements are noticed and pain has decreased to a low intensity, you may reduce to 1-2 sessions per week as recommended, until symptoms do not reappear or have improved to their maximum recovery potential.

  • For internal conditions we recommend at least 2 sessions per week until symptoms are manageable or do not reappear.

  • Dosage is the key to obtaining consistent results. Much like taking an Advil or other painkillers, the effects of medication will eventually taper off and another dose will be required for additional relief. Consistent acupuncture treatments will reestablish homeostasis or balance in the body and promote self healing without the side effects of drugs.
