Acupuncture Is Good For Pain of All Types

Acupuncture is good for pain of all types including arthritis and chronic back pain. Most painful conditions in the body can be dealt with in a number of ways but the most common way, other than popping pills, is acupuncture.

If you have ever experienced chronic pain in the in the muscles and joints that never seems to go away, it can be a debilitating condition to say the least.

If you have tried regular treatments to manage pain like ice and heat or anti-inflammatory drugs, acupuncture may be the pain relief solution you have been searching for.

How Often Will I Need Acupuncture?

After you have come to your local acupuncturist for help with pain, you should book at least a  weekly treatment session until all the pain is gone. They you can gradually decrease the period of time in between each visit.

Just like your car, you never just get one oil change. You have to come in for routine maintenance to keep it working properly.

The same goes for the body. You need to take care of it with a proper diet and exercise and if the muscles and joints begin to weaken, you have to seek out a professional who knows the body – your local trusted and certified acupuncturist!

Dr J Arlo Chinnery TCMD RAc

Dr J Arlo Chinnery, a local acupuncturist in Red Deer Alberta, is a TCMD and RAc and is trained to determine where blockages may be and inserts the needles in strategic points to optimize the qi flow needed to lessen the pain and/or symptoms and allow the body to continue to improve the health and well-being.

Many acupuncture needles may be needed depending on the condition or injury. Each person suffers differently depending on the condition of the pain and where it is located in the body.

As a result the number of acupuncture treatments and frequency of treatments will vary and will change as improvements become more noticeable.
