acupuncture for physical and emotional pain and trauma

Including physical and mental pain or trauma, as well as tapering off of medications

Acupuncture & TCM help your body, mind and spirit process, restore, and reconnect. Acupuncture is helpful for physical injuries, recovery, and trauma in the form of a physical accident or surgery. It is also helpful with emotional pain and traumas, such as divorce, grief of a loved one, relocating, dissociative disorders, and all mental health related issues connected to specific events in life.

For physical pain and trauma, acupuncture helps the muscles and the body to relax, reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation to promote healing. Cupping and other modalities are often utilized. Acupuncture provides analgesic effects by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. This reduces pain sensations and promotes a sense of well-being during and after sessions.

When it comes to emotional trauma, acupuncture can provide support in dealing with emotional distress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By promoting the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for relaxation), it can help reduce the often over active sympathetic nervous system (responsible for the fight-or-flight response) common is stress and trauma. It is essential to approach trauma care holistically, and acupuncture is a valuable piece of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include counseling, psychotherapy, or other interventions. Acupuncture is also beneficial for tapering off of medications such as antidepressants, stimulants, opioids, thyroid medications, and more. Acupuncture helps your nervous system reset, rebalance, and respond better to stress and common triggers while your system relies less and less on the medications. Herbal supplements can also provide further benefits and detoxificaiton.
