Relieving Aches and Pain with Acupuncture at Our Chiropractic Clinic

The practice of acupuncture has been around for over 3,000 years. This ancient technique was developed as part of the traditional medicine of China, Japan and other Eastern countries. Eastern medicine uses a holistic approach, meaning that successful healing is accomplished through the treatment of all of the body's parts. Practitioners believe that illness and pain occurs in response to an obstruction in the natural flow of the body’s energy, or qi. These treatments are designed to remove these energy barriers. During a treatment, small-gauge needles are placed just beneath the body’s surface to stimulate physiological responses and improve the symptoms associated with a condition or illness.

In addition to providing chiropractic treatment and massage therapy, at Back and Neck Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Sports Massage in Vancouver, WA we have a new acupuncturist on staff who can provide treatment for pain management and symptom relief. Patients who suffer from back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines or have injuries from an auto accident or sport may benefit from a session with our acupuncturist.

The Healing Power of Acupuncture

Clinical studies have shown acupuncture to be very effective in treating many medical conditions. Treatments are best known for the ability to control pain, and they can reduce or eliminate the need to take pain relievers. Therapy sessions may also benefit people who suffer from neurological or musculoskeletal disorders. It can help restore function in patients who have ailments like tennis elbow, sciatica and osteoarthritis. As a result of treatments, you may be better able to recover from injuries, feel happier and have improved circulation.

Our Vancouver chiropractor, Dr. Pettet, is always happy to discuss the benefits acupuncture has when used alone and alongside your chiropractic treatment. We welcome any comments you may have for our chiropractor about this type of therapy at Back and Neck Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Sports Massage.
