If Pain And Poor Health Is Making Life Hard To Live....Acupuncture Can Help 

Many people today suffer from chronic pain and chronic poor health. As lifestyle issues start to become major health concerns as we get older, we begin the search for ways to manage our health and relieve if not eliminate our pain.  The unfortunate thing is that many of the solutions we reach for while effective up to a point in the short term they are not the healthiest long term option. We shouldn't be doomed to a life dependant on medications simply to be able to function normally. Especially so if the medication we take leads to more, and potentially more serious, health concerns.

If the cure is worse than the complaint something is wrong
with our chosen method of treatment.

The secret to an effective long term health strategy is to use safe and effective treatments that bring rapid relief from pain and dysfunction while simultaneously addressing the deeper root causes of why the pain and dysfunction is there in the first place. 

Acupuncture: The "Root & Branch" Treatment Strategy

For thousands of years Acupuncture has been used to to relieve pain and promote healing. In Traditional Chinese Medcine we talk about a root & branch treatment strategy. The branches are our current symptoms, the problems that have the most of our attention and that are bothering us enough for us to seek treatment.

The root on the other hand is the cause of the symptoms, the underlying "deeper" aspects of why our symptoms occur.

If we look at headaches for example, the branch would be the specific symptoms and qualities of pain that we experience. The root could be a structural, emotional, hormonal or dietary issue, or a combination of these deeper causitive factors, that creates a unique landscape within our bodies that allow the headaches to occur.

With pain of any kind the most immediate treatment goal is to eliminate or at the very least significantly reduce the pain we are experiencing. Acupuncture has been proven to be incredibly effective in achieving this goal and achieving it very quickly.
