Can acupuncture help me?

I’m sure you’ve heard the concept of holistic or "whole body" healing.  But did you know that this concept can consist of multiple healing modalities that are highly effective in improving health and enhancing overall wellness?  One of these healing modalities, acupuncture, may assist in relieving your pain and rehabilitating injuries. Chiropractic Partners offers acupuncture treatment at our Clayton and Durham, NC offices. We find this form of care to be a powerful means of helping our patients overcome all kinds of difficulties, from acute pain to chronic conditions.

The healing art of the acupuncturist extends back thousands of years. Early practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine mapped out several major pathways in the body known as meridians. These meridians, they said, carried the life force, or qi, wherever it needed to be. Disruptions in this network promoted sickness, pain, and disorders of all kinds. They found that inserting tiny needles into specific points along the meridians restored normal qi flow.

Research indicates that acupuncture points may correspond to neurological "gateways" that regulate pain and other signals. Manipulation of these points is thought to help guide or redirect nerve signaling to improve health. Acupuncture needling also seems to trigger endorphin production, providing natural pain relief through your body's own biological mechanisms.  We have seen patients experience pain relief and reduce (or eliminate) the use of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and opioids.

When you receive acupuncture at Chiropractic Partners, it may also be accompanied with an adjustment, massage, ART, laser, kinesio-taping, or other healing modality.  You will first be evaluated to see if you are a candidate, then our doctors will help you with a personalized chiropractic care plan! 

Acupuncture can assist in normalizing nerve function and help with acute or chronic conditions including:

• Arthritis
• Mood disorders
• Reproductive system issues
• Urological health problems
• Chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia
• Headaches,
• Knee pain, neck pain, back pain
• TMJ pain
• Extremity pain
• Neuropathy

You'll be happy to know that the needles we use are so fine and so lightly inserted, that they don't cause pain. Most acupuncture treatments call for a series of sessions to deliver best results, even though you may feel noticeably better after the first couple of sessions!
