We’re eager to help people find viable solutions to their pain through our patient-cen- tered approach. Acupuncture is an alternative ther- apy that reduces acute and chronic pain. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is widely practiced today in the United States. The treatment involves the placement of needles that stimulate points of the body that release natural painkillers called endorphins. These sites con- nect with pathways or ‘meridians’ that distribute energy and clear obstructions that may result in ill- ness. Think of your body as a free- way full of viaducts and streets. If a pathway is blocked, it should be corrected or consequently there is no thoroughfare. Once the meridians have been reg- ulated, the body begins to natural- ly repair internal functions. Harmo- ny is quickly restored to the blood flow and nutrients that balance the body and its energy sources. Acupuncture is proven safe and treats various types of pain, includ- ing: back and neck pain, headaches/ migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, dental pain, men- strual cramps, fibromyalgia, and more. Acupuncture treats the whole individual, rather than just symptoms of an ailment or disease. According to the National Institute of Health more than 10 million adults in the United States have used acupuncture at some time in their lives. When acupuncture is done correctly, it can be a deeply relaxing experience as it encour- ages the release of natural chemi- cals in your body which not only stop pain, but also help you to relax. Peak Medical has extensive experi- ence in helping patients with a vari- ety of chronic and severe pain con- ditions, including osteoarthritis, sci- atica, stenosis, herniated discs, neck pain, neuropathy, joint pain, sports injuries, and many more. Many individuals suffering from pain have tried several different treatment options with little to no results. After seeing our doctors at Peak Medical, they begin to feel immediate relief and quickly recog- nize that having the right technolo- gy in the right hands makes all the difference.
