Pain Relief & Injury Recovery

Types of Conditions Treated:
I specialize in structural alignment problems which cause pain, stiffness, weakness, or chronic organ imbalances. Our unique style of Japanese Structural Acupuncture developed in the 1970s in Japan effectively treats the following conditions:
- Back pain, stiffness or weakness
- Skeletal and muscular pain
- Hip, knee, leg and foot pain or injury
- Crooked back and neck
- Painful shoulders
- Post-surgery pain
- Menstrual pain
- Migraines, headaches, concussion injuries
How it Works:
We address the blockages responsible for pain or loss of function caused by trauma, poor posture, chemical toxicity or internal imbalances. By restoring blood flow, acute and chronic pain resolves at the site of the injury. Swelling, stiffness, poor posture, inflammation or chemical sensitivity resolves naturally.
Your muscles and tendons relax as sites of pain are supplied with new blood. Pain is relieved. You gain a difference in height and flexibility. Your back is straighter, hips, shoulders and neck fall into a more natural alignment. You walk better, run better, swim, ski and bike better as a result.
Who it's good for:
- Anybody who engages in hard physical labor, constant standing or bad desk posture from computer use can benefit immediately. We also treat problems at the wrists, elbows, knees, fingers and joints.
- This approach is perfect for athletes, or individuals who have any kind of pain, movement or flexibility problem in their body.
- Because of its rapid effects on the whole circulatory and endocrine system, our approach also has the profound benefit of treating all sorts of internal medical conditions. This includes problems with the endocrine and neurological imbalances. Additionally it dramatically impacts your mood, emotional resilience, mental agility and sense of vitality.
Categories of pain:
Pain with movement, or pain occurring at specific times of day. Pain localized to a specific location in the body. Sharp, dull, throbbing, numb, burning, pinching or stabbing pain.
How Results are Achieved:
Results are achieved through a highly specialized style of acupuncture specifically designed to treat pain and posture conditions and achieve greater range of motion and renewed flexibility. Sessions are typically 90 minutes in length and require hands on full time attention in each session.
