Why Our Program for Back Pain
​
Works So Well
Women today have a LOT to do.  Between work, caring for your family, and the recreational activities you love, you cannot afford to be slowed down by pain.  With our program, you will be able to care for yourself, kick your pain to the curb, and get back to the activities you love and the people who rely on you. 
 
We Awaken Your Body’s Natural Healing System
            The body has an amazing capacity to heal.  And the healing happens faster if you start giving it a chance as soon as possible after your injury or the onset of pain.  The longer you wait, the more the out-of-balance patterns become ingrained in the body.  We provide the support Your body needs to makes its own anti-inflammatory substances and painkillers.
 
We Address the Root Cause
             Pain is both caused by and causes muscle imbalances.  While you may not notice anything, these structural imbalances change your balance and interfere with your ability to use your body effectively - resulting in pain.  Our natural therapies allow the body to rebalance itself, relieving pain.
 

 We Use a Natural Approach to Pain Control that Avoids Medications and Surgery
             Your doctor may have told you that will not get any better without medication or surgery.  That doesn't mean there are not treatment options.  Often, physicians are only trained in these medical interventions are are not aware of how effective more natural approaches can be.  We find that people who do not respond well to conventional medical treatments often respond very well to our more natural approach.

How We help You Overcome Back Pain

Picture

We Go To The Source

We conduct a structural and postural assessment to understand the source of your pain and tightness.  In this way, we address the root cause of your pain.

We Relieve Your Pain

Weekly acupuncture sessions will help relieve pain.  With acupuncture we can also stimulate long, weak muscles to tighten and encourage short, tight muscles to relax, creating a balanced structure. We supplement the acupuncture treatments with coaching in lifestyle adjustments and mind-body techniques that help you change your relationship with pain.

Common Questions

Does it involve a big time commitment?
M
ost of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.

How do I know my back pain won't come back?
We coach you so you will recognize early signs of weakness and develop a plan for follow up assistance.  In addition, we work with you to develop a program of stretching and strengthening that targets the out-of-balance muscles.  Using the same muscles in the same way repeatedly creates patterns where some muscles stay too long and weak while other muscles stay too short and strong. When this happens, the muscles cannot work in harmony to keep you balanced and pain free. The only way to create a permanent change in muscle patterns is to stretch the short muscles and strengthen the long muscles.


Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are solid and about the thickness of a hair - completely different than a hypodermic needle. There is minimal sensation associated with acupuncture - being bitten by a mosquito is often more painful. Also,  acupuncture is extremely relaxing.

Will I have to keep coming forever?
Most patients experience a lessening of their pain within a few weeks of weekly treatments. After that, many choose to come in for regular maintenance visits. But, our goal is to get you to where you no longer need treatment and will be so happy with your results you’ll send us all your friends and family. The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way.

How do I know it’s safe?
Acupuncture has been practiced safely for centuries, and in the hands of an experienced practitioner is virtually risk-free.

Is natural medicine REALLY powerful enough to stop cure my pain?
Natural medicine actually helps your body make more of its own medicine, which is more powerful and potent than any man-made medicine.

How long does it take to see results?
People often feel a shift after the very first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to stimulate endorphin release, which is the most powerful relaxing substance the body makes.

Are there side-effects?
Generally, there are no side-effects, other than occasional mild bruising (this rarely happens). There are, however, many positive side-effects including increased relaxation, better sleep, and a more positive attitude and outlook.

Will I bleed?
The acupuncture needles do not cause any bleeding whatsoever. Occasionally a drop of blood will appear at the insertion site, upon removal of the needles, and this is easily cleaned with a simple cotton swab.

Is there any risk of infection?
As per federal regulations, all our needles are sterile, single-use, and disposable. There is no risk of getting an infection from the needles. If you have an immune or other condition we should know about, we’ll make sure to cover that with you before treatment.
