Dealing with Chronic + Acute Pain through Acupuncture

Screen Shot 2019-09-18 at 4.40.48 PM.png

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!!

Can Acupuncture Treat HPV and Cervial Dysplasia?

Did you know that acupuncture helps treat Cervical Dysplasia and HPV? πŸ’—πŸ“

Most cervical dysplasia (abnormal pap) is caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease and two of the types of HPV are responsible for 70% of cervical cancer. Other types of HPV cause genital warts. While there is no direct treatment for the virus, supporting your immune system is so key to help the body rid itself HPV on its own. 🌱πŸ₯¦πŸ₯•πŸ’†πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ’†πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’†πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

While most women clear the virus within 2 years, there is so much that you can do to support your body for this optimal outcome instead of the β€œwatch and wait” scenario. 🀞

In Eastern medicine, we see HPV as a pathogen that causes stagnation in the Liver channel and damp heat in the Lower Jiao (lowest part of the abdomen). Acupuncture is great at helping the body circulate, break up the stagnation, and regenerate healthy cells. ✨ Herbs and supplements like Turkey Tail have been clinically shown to boost the immune system, helping to regress dysplasia. Enjoying a healthy, immune supportive lifestyle is certainly key. βœ”οΈ
