Muscle Pain & Tension

What types of pain do we treat?

What do we treat?

When it comes to the intricate realm of pain management, we specialize in addressing two of the most prevalent and persistent adversaries: myofascial or muscular pain and osteoarthritis. These are not just mundane discomforts; they are the silent battles that millions of people wage daily.

Osteoarthritis, a foe that plagues countless individuals, is a condition wherein joints experience an agonizing irritation, driven by the ceaseless friction they endure. Enter biomedical acupuncture, a powerful tool in our arsenal. It serves as both a soothing balm during flare-ups and a vigilant guardian against the recurrence of agony. With meticulous precision, we harness the ancient art of acupuncture to reduce the vexatious irritation that accompanies osteoarthritis, offering respite to those in need.

Myofascial pain, on the other hand, often arises from life’s daily rigors – repetitive movements, extended periods of immobility, and the relentless overuse of our muscles. This relentless strain often leads to the formation of muscle knots and trigger points, the malevolent culprits responsible for a cascade of discomfort. As muscles contort and stiffen due to these trigger points, they inadvertently place undue stress on tendons and ligaments, causing further anguish.

Trigger points, true to their name, are insidious troublemakers. They inflict pain that worsens with muscle use, afflicting nerves with their oppressive presence, leading to weakness and tingling sensations. As one muscle succumbs to the tyranny of trigger points, it gradually weakens, tightens, and becomes increasingly sore. To compensate, neighboring muscles are recruited to lend a helping hand, doubling their workload and inevitably succumbing to the same fate. Trigger points, in this manner, spread their malevolence like wildfire.

This is where the magic of biomedical acupuncture and dry needling comes into play. They possess the power to dismantle these trigger point networks, revitalizing circulation and restoring the full range of motion. It’s not just a treatment; it’s a reawakening of the body’s natural healing abilities.

In conclusion, our journey into the realm of pain management is not just about offering relief; it’s about empowering individuals to reclaim their lives from the clutches of pain. With biomedical acupuncture and dry needling as our trusted allies, we embark on a path of transformation, offering hope, healing, and a brighter future for those in need.
