CHRONIC,
ACUTE BODY PAIN, & ORTHOPEDIC CONDITIONS

Pain Management

Pain is triggered by your nervous system; it is the way your brain alerts you that there is an energy imbalance the body. It can be constant, piercing, dull, localized, short-term, or manifest in some other way, such as mentally or emotionally. From the Chinese medicine perspective, pain can be a signal that there is blockage in an energy channel, and/or there may be an energy deficit. Pain can be very frustrating for anyone, since over-the-counter medications and other manual therapies may not provide enough relief. With acupuncture, Acupuncturists at Shanghai Chinese Medicine will unblock the energy stoppage in your body that is causing you so much pain. By carefully placing acupuncture needles along specific pathways, or meridians, on your body, your energy will begin to release and flow properly, which will begin the abatement of your pain and other symptoms. Endorphins and neurotransmitters released by acupuncture help to improve your pain from the very first visit. Ask Dr. Jang and Lee what you can expect from acupuncture based on your specific pain level and condition. Since everyone experiences pain in different ways, she will guide you through her recommended treatment plan only after meeting you and taking a detailed history of your health.

Acupuncture Offers Relief for Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Acupuncture works to relieve pain from both types of arthritis in similar ways. One thing acupuncture aims to do is it reestablish a balance of the energies, known as chi, and that runs through energy channels, known as meridians, in your body. Chinese herbs can be used to help with anti inflammatory efforts, and an overall sense of well-being can be achieved from the relaxation and the uptick in serotonin and endorphins that an acupuncture treatment can deliver.

Acupuncture Offers Relief for Frozen Shoulder Sufferers

Acupuncture addresses energy imbalances in the meridians of energy, that are held by Chinese medicine as the channels of the life force Chi. Surgery or severe illness are sure ways for energy imbalances, and energy congestion points to occur. Acupuncture can set the Chi flowing again.
Acupuncture can relax muscles that are spamming or tight. Feel-good brain chemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins can be released by acupuncture treatment and can lead to an overall sense of well-being and an increase in energy.

What can I expect during an acupuncture session?

At Shanghai Chinese Medicine, your treatment begins with a detailed discussion regarding your pain symptoms, medical history, medications and supplements you take regularly, and other important factors related to your overall health and well-being.

Your acupuncturist then develops a treatment plan that may include acupuncture combined with detoxifying (cupping) treatments, herbal remedies, mild electrical stimulation, and other therapies known to enhance the benefits of acupuncture.

Sessions generally last about an hour. The needles used in acupuncture are very thin and cause little to no discomfort when placed by a skilled practitioner like those at Family Wellness. You can expect to feel very relaxed during and after the session or you may leave the office feeling quite energized.

Most individuals require several treatment sessions to experience optimal results from acupuncture for pain. Your acupuncturist will discuss what you can expect from your therapy before beginning your first session.
