Acupuncture The main purpose of acupuncture is to relieve stress that is put on your muscles and body parts. This added stress can lead to strain and excessive tension on your muscles as well which can make it more difficult to perform daily activities with ease and comfort. Acupuncture is not only intended for muscles and can also be used for joints and areas where the tension tends to build up such as your temples and scalp. Acupuncture has proven to relieve stress and loosen the tension that otherwise causes pain and discomfort. Types of Massages There are various types of massages that are available but all have therapeutic methods that are intended to give you relief from the pressure and stream put on your muscles. When you have your initial consultation with us, we will discuss the types of massages we have available and which ones our medical professional specializing to reduce pain and discomfort in your muscles. For example, a therapeutic massage that focuses on reducing strain in the upper back may require different levels of pressure and strength than a sports-related injury massage on a strained calve. Pain Relief The ultimate goal of acupuncture and massage therapy is to provide pain relief. Your muscles are constantly working, regardless if you are not actively performing any activities. Because of this, it is important that your muscles have constant blood flow and oxygen as well as regular massages to reduce any knots or strains that could build up in the muscle. If your muscle feels tight or twisted, this could be due to lack of oxygen and your muscle needs more relaxing to build up its levels of health again. Scheduling Acupuncture and therapeutic massages are available on a regular basis for individuals who have ongoing injuries and need regular pain relief. You can schedule acupuncture and massage services for weekly, biweekly, or monthly availability. In doing so, we will continually work to improve the health of your muscles with every session so that they are constantly revitalized and operating in top condition. How often you schedule acupuncture and massage services depends on your level of pain and how frequently you would like to reduce the pain in your muscles. If you have a sports injury, you may benefit from weekly massages more than someone who has the occasional stiff lower back. If you have chronic migraines, then acupuncture may be more suitable a few times a week or weekly, depending on when and how often you get migraines. |
