Conditions Treated

Chronic pain affects many, and traditional medicines often merely mask the pain, bringing along undesirable side effects. Opiates, the prevalent choice in western medicine for chronic pain, can be beneficial but can also lead to issues like constipation, sleep disturbances, and addiction. Increasingly, individuals seeking pain management are considering acupuncture as an alternative or supplement to drugs. Acupuncture effectively addresses various conditions, from low back pain and headaches to carpal tunnel and osteoarthritis. It can even mitigate pain from cancers like liver or lung cancer. Our acupuncture approach targets both pain causes and symptoms, harnessing the body's innate pain-relieving mechanisms. It addresses inflammatory, immunological, neuropathic, traumatic, and vascular conditions. To explore this holistic remedy, please contact us for an appointment.
