Hi Everyone,

Many of you are now familiar with acupuncture in that in involves placing needles in certain places on the body. What you may not know is that this practice can help with so many different ailments. It has been shown to help relieve pain, stress, improve circulation, reduce headaches and migraines and so much more.

Stress can release chemicals in our bodies that can wreak havok on us over time. Stress can cause anything from tightness in your muscles to weight gain and it can be a factor in other diseases. While nobody can provide a stress-free life for you, we can provide a way to reduce the amount of stress in your life and help decrease the risks that are associated with it.

It looks very painful

Looks (as often is the case) can be decieving. This is true when it comes to acupuncture. The needles used for acupuncture are much smaller than even a sewing needle. They are about the size of one strand of hair. Most patients describe feeling a pressure sensation but no pain. In fact, many patients get acupuncture to relieve their chronic pain.

Trigger Point Acupuncture

Trigger Point Pain

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are more commonly known as “knots” in our muscles. When there are too many of these “knots” it is called Myofascial Pain Syndrome. This can cause an alarming amount of pain and can often occur without warning. They tend to cluster around an injury and they can be a major factor in back and neck pain.

What Is Trigger Point Acupuncture?

Trigger Point Acupuncture (TPA) is a technique wehre a therapist will insert tiny needles into the affected muscles causing them to loosen and relax. Trigger points are believed to be micro-spasms in muscle tissue. By inserting the needle into the tissue, it temporarily blocks the signal controlling your muscle to spasm. Without this signal, your muscle is free to return to its natural state.

Why choose this method?

This method is great for relieving pain caused by trigger points. Those who have chronic severe pain may find that it doesn’t completely relieve the pain but lessens it to a greater extent than other options. Those with minor aches and “knots” can usually find whole relief from pain and can prevent the reoccurance.
