Common Conditions Treated With Acupuncture

Pain Relief
Acupuncture can treat recent acute injury as well as chronic long-term pain. In acute attacks, it can reduce swelling, bruising, reduce the duration of the injury and decrease pain. Acupuncture works very well in acute pain relief. Chronic pain such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, a past car accident or surgery, arthritis and joint pain can be reduced with weekly acupuncture treatments and aid in overall wellbeing of the patient. While studying in Portland, Sara worked in a group clinic where she worked with acute and chronic pain firsthand and had excellent results.

Cold and Flu Season
Cold and Flu season, along with seasonal allergies, can be frustrating and uncomfortable. However, acupuncture and Chinese herbs can decrease the duration of the cold, flu or allergies and can decrease symptoms such as runny nose, sinus headaches, sore itchy throat, high fever and body aches. It is best to get a treatment as soon as symptoms begin in order to slow the progression and be most effective. It is best to treat allergies the season before they begin, however, acupuncture is very effective for symptom relief during an allergic attack. Acupuncture can also be used as a preventive measure to increase the body’s immune system and decrease the risk of catching the cold or flu.

Digestive Issues
Digestive issues such as ulcerative colitis, crohn’s, celiac disease and IBS can be treated with regular acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas. It can help the body restore and regulate the stomach and the digestive tract. Sara will also work with you on nutritional diet changes to aid in the healing process.

Mental/Emotional Issues and Headaches
Dealing with mental and emotional issues is never easy. However, Sara has found that working with the body as a whole can help patients overcome obstacles in ways they would never have thought possible. Acupuncture can help the body restore balance and in doing so decrease; PMS, stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia all related to mental and emotional distress. Also, acupuncture can aid in the relief of all types of headaches, including migraine headaches.
