Pain is often caused by tight muscles that reduce your flexibility and cause strain on your joints or pressure on your nerve pathways. You may also experience tightness, numbness, tingling, pressure, weakness, or feelings of heat or cold that cause you to seek treatment. Acupuncture can help most common types of pain. My approach to pain treatment includes targeting trigger points (areas of restriction with predictable pan referral patterns) as well as restoring circulation and reducing any stress that may be contributing to your pain pattern.
Trigger point therapy with acupuncture is highly effective for:
- Low back pain
- Hip pain and sciatica
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- TMJ
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Trigger finger
- Pain in hands and fingers
- Foot pain including plantar fasciitis
- Knee pain
- Arthritis
- Post-surgical pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Generalized body pain with fatigue
