Holt Chiropractic & Acupuncture Offers Acupuncture For Pain Relief
Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction can significantly impact your ability to perform tasks throughout daily life. Acupuncture is a holistic practice used in conjunction with chiropractic techniques to reduce discomfort and improve mobility. At Holt Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Bay City, TX, we offer various acupuncture modalities to help our patients find natural relief.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment that uses very fine needles that are inserted into strategic points on the body called meridians. These meridians are energy crossroads in the body that can be rebalanced and reduce pain or discomfort with acupuncture. After a session, you can continue your usual activities without experiencing any side effects. The different forms of acupuncture we provide patients include:
Electroacupuncture: This treatment is performed the same way as standard acupuncture. However, electrodes are attached to the needles to enhance the effect of the treatment process.
Ear acupuncture: This treatment is used on the ears to ease certain conditions such as migraines, insomnia, allergies, and other various ailments.
Cupping: This treatment does not involve needles and instead uses cups placed on specific points on the body. The cups are heated and cool to create a vacuum that puts pressure on the skin underneath the cup. Cupping is used to relax muscles and improve circulation.
Conditions Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture can be used for a wide range of health problems, from arthritis to allergies. We often use acupuncture in conjunction with conventional chiropractic care to enhance pain relief and hasten recovery. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, and pain caused by fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome can be treated with acupuncture.
What Happens During An Acupuncture Session?
During a session, you will be asked to lie on a table or sit in a chair in a relaxed manner. The sterilized needles will be inserted into the pre-determined areas of the body for optimal results. The needles are left in place for a short time, and the general process is generally painless and has no side effects. They are then removed, and the patient can then continue their usual activities.
