Acupuncture in Morrisset

Acupuncture needles in leg Available at our Morisset practice.

In use for thousands of years, acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points of the body. The process triggers a small inflammatory response around the needle, which promotes increased blood flow to the targeted area. The improved circulation nourishes muscles and tissues, helping them repair and function better.

Who Can Benefit?

Acupuncture is a versatile therapy that can benefit nearly anyone. It’s especially helpful for people experiencing muscle tension, stiffness, or chronic pain. Many individuals who have hit a plateau with chiropractic adjustments find acupuncture to be an excellent next step for relieving stubborn tightness.

What Conditions Can Be Addressed?

People commonly seek acupuncture for musculoskeletal conditions that chiropractic care alone cannot fully resolve. If you experience tight or stiff muscles that haven’t responded to other therapies, acupuncture may help release the tension and promote relaxation. It’s a great option for those suffering from conditions like:

  • Chronic muscle tightness
  • Muscle spasms
  • Stiffness due to injury or strain
  • Pain that hasn’t responded to chiropractic adjustments
  • Stress

What to Expect

In a typical session, needles are left in place for 15 to 20 minutes. The technique can also involve an acupuncture pen, which helps stimulate and contract muscles via the needle. This added stimulation further relaxes tight muscles and enhances the therapeutic effects of the needles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

This is one of the most common questions people ask. The short answer is no. You might feel a brief sensation when the needle first enters the skin, but this only lasts a split second. After the needle is in place, you shouldn’t feel any pain.

Will this therapy work for me?

Every person responds differently to acupuncture, so there’s no guarantee it will work for everyone. However, many people do find relief from pain and tension through this healing practice, especially when other therapies haven’t been successful. The best way to find out? Give it a try!

Is there anyone who shouldn’t get it?

Acupuncture is generally not recommended for pregnant women or those with a fear of needles. Additionally, patients who cannot remain still during the session may not be ideal candidates.
