Acupuncture for pain relief now available in Shadyside and Wexford
At Foundation Chiropractic, our acupuncture practice is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), which refers to the body’s vital energy. According to this philosophy, Qi flows through pathways called meridians and when this flow is interupted, it can contribute to pain, illness, or emotional imbalance. Acupuncture aims to restore the natural circulation of Qi by stimulating specific points on the body with very fine, stainless-steel needles.
Many individuals seek acupuncture for a variety of reasons. Acupuncture may be effective in treating:
Chronic back and neck pain
Migraines and tension headaches
Anxiety and stress-related disorders
Digestive problems such as constipation, diahrea, and IBS
Menstrual pain, hormonal imbalances, and fertility issues
And so much more
During your session, your licensed practitioner will assess your health concerns and choose acupuncture points tailored to your needs. The needles are extremely thin and most people feel little to no discomfort. Treatment sessions and frequency are customized based on your unique goals.
