Conditions Successfully Treated:
1. Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes sharp pain in the heel due to inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Acupuncture helps by reducing inflammation and promoting blood flow to the affected area, speeding up healing and reducing pain. Herbal remedies can further aid in reducing swelling and support tissue repair. Compelling evidence highlights the effectiveness of acupuncture in relieving plantar fasciitis pain, offering a natural and holistic approach to reducing discomfort and promoting healing.
2. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel is characterized by tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands due to pressure on the median nerve. Acupuncture alleviates nerve pressure, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation, helping to restore function and relieve pain. Herbal medicine can provide additional support to reduce nerve irritation and promote healing.
3. Sciatica
Sciatica causes sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down the legs. Acupuncture targets the source of the nerve pain, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Herbal medicine helps by reducing inflammation and supporting the nervous system to alleviate discomfort and speed up recovery.
4. Tennis Elbow/Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis and golfer’s elbow involve inflammation of the tendons in the arm, causing pain and limited mobility. Acupuncture relieves tension in the affected area, reduces inflammation, and speeds up healing. Herbal medicine aids in reducing inflammation and strengthening the tendons to prevent future injuries.
5. Migraines & Headaches
Acupuncture is highly effective for treating migraines and chronic headaches. By balancing the flow of Qi (energy), acupuncture can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. Herbal medicine complements treatment by addressing underlying triggers such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation.
6. Neck Pain
Neck pain from tension, injury, or poor posture can be effectively managed with acupuncture. Acupuncture reduces muscle tension and improves blood flow to the affected area, promoting healing and reducing stiffness. Herbal remedies further support pain relief and reduce inflammation.
7. Shoulder Pain
Whether due to rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, or tendonitis, shoulder pain can be debilitating. Acupuncture helps by improving mobility, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain, while herbal medicine supports tissue healing and reduces swelling.
8. Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek acupuncture. Whether caused by injury, poor posture, or chronic conditions, acupuncture provides natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and relaxing muscle tension. Herbal medicine can aid in healing damaged tissues and support long-term back health.
9. Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue. Acupuncture helps by calming the nervous system, reducing muscle pain, and promoting relaxation. Herbal remedies target inflammation and support the immune system, providing relief from flare-ups and improving overall well-being.
10. Arthritis
Arthritis causes joint pain and stiffness, which acupuncture can effectively reduce by improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Herbal medicine supports joint health, reduces inflammation, and can slow the progression of arthritis symptoms.
11. Injuries
Acupuncture accelerates healing by promoting blood flow to injured areas, reducing pain, and preventing scar tissue formation. It’s ideal for both acute and chronic injuries, including sprains, strains, and fractures. Herbal medicine enhances recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.
12. Pre & Post-Surgery Pain
Acupuncture is a safe, natural way to manage pain both before and after surgery. Pre-surgery, acupuncture can help reduce anxiety and prepare the body for a faster recovery. Post-surgery, it aids in reducing inflammation, minimizing scar tissue, and speeding up the healing process.
13. Tendonitis
Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons, causing pain and limited movement. Acupuncture reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and relieves pain, while herbal medicine supports the healing of tendons and prevents future injuries.
14. Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the bursae (fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints) become inflamed, leading to joint pain. Acupuncture reduces swelling and pain by increasing blood flow and relaxing the surrounding muscles. Herbal remedies help reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.
