Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture provides an inexpensive and thorough conservative care for musculoskeletal injuries that is promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Labor Code and Workers' Compensation systems of a number of states, and is supported by evidence-based treatment guidelines accepted by the RAND Corporation, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and even by a number of industry sponsored guidelines.

Chinese medicine is based on a concept that energy flows through the body along with blood. The belief is that trauma and injury obstruct the flow of that energy and blood. If this obstruction is left untreated, the belief is that the injury will worsen. Chinese medicine focuses on improving the body’s circulation.
Acupuncture uses needles that are inserted into the skin. These needles stimulate nerves that send signals to the brain. The brain then responds by triggering different mechanisms within the body to promote pain relief and help the body naturally heal without the use of surgery or medications.  

Bone Fractures, Ligament and Tendon Ruptures
Acupuncture, along with Western medicine treatments, can help speed the healing of bones, ligaments, and tendons. This increased healing can help avoid surgery and decrease recovery time.

Muscle Injuries
Some of the most common work injuries are muscle pulls, sprains, and strains. Acupuncture can help decrease pain and swelling to muscle injuries. Acupuncture helps increase the flow of blood and fluids. This increase in circulation decreases healing time and is highly effective with sprains and ligament damage. 

Tendonitis
Tendonitis is also a common work-related injury caused by repetitive movement. Tendonitis commonly occurs in the rotator cuff, wrists, and elbows. The increased blood flow from acupuncture along with massage can make a huge difference in healing the injury.

Acupuncture is proven to be an effective treatment for injuries. Some of the most common work injuries, such as back injuries, neck injuries, knee pain, sprains, tendonitis, and lower back pain, to name a few, are successfully treated with acupuncture. In many cases, it speeds the healing process to the injury and helps to avoid surgery.
