Pain Management
The Acupuncture Advantage for Pain Management
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has been used for centuries to treat various pain conditions, from musculoskeletal issues to headaches and chronic pain syndromes. At Medical Acupuncture & Nutrition, we specialize in using acupuncture to help our patients find relief from pain and promote overall well-being.
Acupuncture works by stimulating the release of natural pain-relieving compounds, promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and interrupting pain signaling pathways. Compared to conventional pain treatments, acupuncture offers several key advantages: it is non-invasive and drug-free, has few side effects, addresses the root causes of pain, and provides long-lasting relief.
We use acupuncture to treat a wide range of pain conditions, including:
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist pain, and tennis elbow
- Headache and migraine
- Low back pain and sciatica
- Menstrual cramps
- Shoulder pain and knee pain
- Foot pain, plantar fasciitis, and heel pain
- Dental pain, tooth pain, and trigeminal neuralgia
