Too often, patients suffering from pain are turned away from standard healthcare clinics. Sadly, many medical care professionals are one-dimensional in their approach to healing. At Unruh Spine Centers, our Santa Clarita chiropractors use holistic healing treatments and time-honored practices like acupuncture to bring your body the relief you deserve.

Acupuncture provides balance and relief to patients suffering from chronic pain and other discomforts. For centuries, acupuncture has been used to treat:

• Asthma
• Back pain
• Chronic headaches and migraine
• Fatigue
• Digestive disorders
• Nausea
• Vertigo
• Joint pain
• Facial pain

Balanced Energy Flow for Pain Relief

For more than 3000 years, physicians around the world have used acupuncture to restore harmony to the bodies of their patients. Acupuncture practitioners place fine, sterile needles across the body’s twelve meridians. These points are known as “acupoints” and they tap into the body’s energy network.

These needles channel the body’s energy flow by stimulating your natural healing response to the needles. As a result of modern research and studies, acupuncture is becoming increasingly utilized by Western medical care practitioners. Most insurance providers cover this trusted treatment method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is acupuncture a worthwhile treatment?

Acupuncture can enhance both physical and emotional health. Research indicates that it's effective on its own or alongside conventional treatments, particularly for issues like nausea due to surgery or chemotherapy, and post-surgical dental pain.

What should be avoided before an acupuncture session?

It's best to steer clear of caffeine and alcohol on the day of your session, as they can influence your sensitivity and energy. Also, try to avoid intense exercise just before or after the treatment.

How long do the effects of acupuncture typically last?

Many people experience benefits that last for several months or even up to a year after a series of treatments. Permanent effects are less common but may occur in cases with milder symptoms.

Are there individuals who should avoid acupuncture?

People with an AICD should avoid acupuncture that involves electromagnetic stimulation. Additionally, those with a history of psychosis or delusions are generally advised against undergoing acupuncture.

What distinguishes Chinese acupuncture from medical acupuncture?

Traditional Chinese acupuncture focuses on balancing the body's energy (Qi), while medical acupuncture, rooted in Western medicine, emphasizes relieving pain and muscle tension through an understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Can acupuncture help with chronic pain?

Yes, acupuncture is often used to alleviate chronic pain, including conditions like lower back pain, osteoarthritis, and migraines. Regular sessions may provide significant relief.
