PAIN MANAGEMENT
Acupuncture: A Natural Solution for Joint & Muscle Pain
Ft Lauderdale Acupuncture provides excellent relief for those with pain management issues. In practice, Dr. Rowe has successfully treated patients for both acute and chronic pain problems.
Patients with chronic pain issues often become very frustrated with their treatment options. Pain medications can provide some relief, but taken over a long period of time, patients often require higher dosages. Without the pain medication frequently the pain returns. Surgery is also an option but comes with its own unique set of risk factors.
Ft Lauderdale Acupuncture provides a safe alternative to patients who seek relief from pain. It is used to treat sciatica, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and shoulder pain and lower back pain. It stimulates the body’s natural healing response to improve circulation, reduce swelling, increase flexibility and improve neuromuscular response.
It is also an excellent complement to patients who receive massage or chiropractic adjustments. These 3 modalities work together and can help you maintain and improve your health.
Stress & Its Relationship to Pain Management
Stress is phenomenon of modern life, but what is it?
A simple explanation to describe what happens on a biological level, would be anything that sends our body into a “fight or flight” response. The “fight or flight” response is our key protective response. It stimulates our nervous system, our hormones and our immune system to activate to protect the body. If this response is continually triggered without adequate recovery time, our protective resources become depleted or non-responsive.
As our body tries to cope with stress, toxicity will rise and eventually symptoms will appear. These symptoms are the body’s way of communicating that something is not right. These symptoms can include: headaches, anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain syndromes and digestive disorders.
