Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an evidence based practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or meridians. The goal is to stimulate these points to restore balance and promote healing. It has been used for thousands of years as a form of holistic therapy.

What Does It Help With?

  • Pain Relief: Effective for various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, arthritis, and migraines.
  • Stress Reduction: Helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation.
  • Menstrual Problems: Addresses menstrual pain, irregular cycles, and menopause symptoms.

How Does It Work?

  • Traditional Chinese Acupuncture: Uses a network of meridians and points based on traditional Chinese medical theory.
  • Electro-Acupuncture: Involves applying a small electric current to the needles to enhance stimulation.
  • Auricular Acupuncture: Focuses on points on the ear that are believed to correspond to various body parts and functions.
  • Scalp Acupuncture: Targets points on the scalp to address neurological and other health issues.
  • Dry Needling: A technique similar to acupuncture but based on Western anatomical and physiological principles, often used for myofascial pain.

Techniques & Methods

  • Soft tissue therapy provides several therapeutic benefits through its various techniques:
  • Breaks Down Scar Tissue: Techniques like massage and IASTM help break down scar tissue and adhesions within muscles and fascia, improving tissue mobility and reducing pain.
  • Increases Circulation: By stimulating blood flow to muscles and tissues, soft tissue therapy enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients while removing metabolic waste products.
  • Reduces Muscle Tension: Manual techniques relax tense muscles and release trigger points, reducing muscle spasms and improving overall muscle function.
  • Promotes Relaxation: Soft tissue therapy induces a relaxation response, reducing stress hormones and promoting a sense of well-being.
  • Enhances Healing: By improving tissue mobility, reducing inflammation, and enhancing circulation, soft tissue therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes.

Benefits Of Acupuncture

  • Non-Invasive: A minimally invasive treatment with a low risk of side effects.
  • Holistic Approach: Addresses both physical symptoms and emotional well-being.
  • Customizable: Treatments can be tailored to individual needs and health conditions.
  • Complementary Therapy: Can be used alongside other medical treatments and therapies.
