Acupuncture for Pain relief

Pain relief is the most well-known and well-researched effect of acupuncture treatment, and for good reason! Acupuncture and Chinese medicine work at a deep level to stimulate your body’s own healing mechanisms. Acupuncture increases peripheral circulation, reduces inflammation and stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s own natural pain relieving chemicals. At the Qi Cottage, I treat pain not only as a symptom but also by exploring and addressing the underlying causes of pain. I focus treatment on you as an individual so that healing can happen from the inside out. Patients often feel a significant reduction in pain during their first treatment and because we are also addressing root causes, their conditions improve in a fundamental and lasting way. Painful conditions I commonly treat include:

• accidents

• injuries

• arthritis

• joint pain

• tennis elbow

• back pain

• headaches

• migraines

• fibromyalgia

• sciatica
