Pain Management

Everybody has experienced pain at some point. For instance, chronic back pain is now second only to the common cold as a cause of lost work time and it accounts for some 40 percent of worker’s compensation payments. Western doctors see pain as a physical process, a sign of tissue injury — a ruptured disk, a fracture, an infection, or a tumor. However, what to do when the structure is repaired and the pain continues? Are there more than straight forward physical explanations for pain?

Interestingly, recent studies point to such "inorganic" factors as loneliness, involvement in litigation, receipt of workers’ compensation and job dissatisfaction. Whether it is an acute injury or long-term pain associated with chronic headaches, back pain, sciatica, knee pain or arthritis — Propoints Acupuncture will integrate a variety of effective pain-relieving modalities. A pain management plan might include: counseling, acupuncture, tuina, reiki, herbal & nutritional anti-inflammatory supplements, and/or shiatsu massage.

All of these methods are highly beneficial and are part of a whole body approach. The goal is to provide long lasting pain solutions that enable you to get up and going.
