Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care
For some time, people have become accustomed to visiting a medical doctor for pain and illness. The go-to method of care usually involves some sort of medication and, in some cases, surgery. As such, more natural methods have been pushed to the side and even viewed as “new age.”
The truth is, though, that natural methods such as acupuncture got their start centuries ago. And unlike the medical model, their focus is to get to the root of the issue – not just mask the symptoms. Below, Dr. Tom Genstil, Dr. Debra Singer, Sandy Camper L.A.C and the team at Creekside Chiropractic & Healing Arts in Albany, NY, share the healing art of acupuncture and how it complements chiropractic care.
The Basics of Acupuncture
Your body has certain points along lines called meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. These meridian points are stimulated by the acupuncturist to address blockages and allow the body’s energy to flow freely.
While many people question this belief, it should be noted that these meridians have been found to be rich in nerve endings. Stimulating them through the use of thin needles, lasers, and other tools can help block pain signals to the brain, release natural painkillers, and increase the flow of blood and healing nutrients to the treatment area.
Adding Acupuncture to Your Chiropractic Treatment Plan
What, exactly, does stimulating these nerve endings have to do with chiropractic care? In short, both techniques encourage the body to utilize its own healing ability to by removing blockages that impede that healing. Together, these two natural techniques can provide relief from:
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic neck pain
- Joint pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Arthritis
- Knee pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Inflammation
- Sprains and strains
- Sciatica
- Sports injuries and more
As these techniques help improve blood flow and nerve function, they have also provided relief from allergies, insomnia, and various other health conditions.
