Dealing with Chronic + Acute Pain through Acupuncture
One of the biggest reasons we are so adamant about offering sliding scale services, is to create greater access to chronic and acute pain relief. We believe so strongly in the power of this medicine and we know that it is key to guiding people out of unnecessary suffering. With little to no side effects, acupuncture is proven over and over again to be safe, effective and clinically relevant for pain management. A 2016 study found that 93% of 89,000 people reported successful treatment for musculoskeletal pain, Yet only 23% of patients with chronic pain found opiates effective, according to a 2006 survey by the American Pain Foundation and a recent review found that opioids at guideline recommended doses were not effective for low back pain.
With that said, come check out Brooke at our sliding scale clinic today from 3-8 at our @shopharborside location!!

You Don't Have to Suffer from Cramps!
You don’t have to suffer from cramps! 💗
While it is common to have period pain before, during, or after your period, it is not something you have to live with. Cramping is a symptom of an imbalance and is not normal. 😟Dysmenorrhea, or cramps are often caused from blood that is stagnating in the Liver channel causing clots and uterine tension. Some women get cramps because they are blood deficient and lacking nutrients to support their period.
✨I have found that women who get regular acupuncture and as well as other modalities like Maya Abdominal Massage, dramatically reduce their cramps and similar issues related to their cycles. 💃🏻
