Living with chronic pain is simply miserable.

It never helps when doctors give you the “side-eye” about it either. You’ve tried nearly everything to feel better and eliminate your chronic pain. Over the counter medicines no longer have any effect. You can’t get a good night’s sleep either, since you toss and turn with painful sensations waking you all the time. If you’ve been on prescription pain relievers or opioids, you might be concerned about how dependency on such drugs might affect your long term health. This concern is certainly justified as opioid addiction continues to destroy lives across the nation.

Temporary relief seems to be all you can find.

If you have been getting cortisol shots to manage your condition, those may bring some temporary relief, but each time the pain returns a little sooner and worse than before. Eventually, you realize this strategy will never eliminate your chronic pain either, and your body is already feeling the fatigue from adrenal burnout.

If surgery seems like your only option…

As your body continues to develop a tolerance to the medications, you realize that things are not getting any better. Your doctors have informed you that surgery is likely inevitable and so you are just biding your time trying to put it off for as long as you can.

Your situation might feel hopeless.

You’ve attended your physical therapy appointments dutifully, but it didn’t make much difference. Massage only provided some temporary relief, but it never seemed to completely eliminate your chronic pain. Chiropractic care doesn’t help either or if there is any relief, it is short lived. Without having your freedom of mobility, you soon become dependent upon others for help. It seems like your situation is dire and hopeless.

Research shows that acupuncture works.

You’ve considered expensive experimental therapies which seem promising, but for whatever reason you just can’t imagine how something like acupuncture could help you. You have heard that it treats pain, but you still have lots of questions and skepticism that it even works. Research shows that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can outperform other interventions if you are willing to follow and complete a course of five to seven treatments.

The choice is up to you.

Don’t continue to let pain exhaust you. There is still hope. Finding the right practitioner who can accurately address your problem is really all you need. My approach is gentle and safe, even for those who are especially sensitive to needles or even terrified of needles. As a doctor of acupuncture and a certified massage therapist, I can help you with this too. Acupressure can be just as powerful to relieve your symptoms in any case. We don’t even have to use needles to fix what’s wrong. Find your happy place again.

There’s too much at stake to put it off any longer. Give me a call and let me help you today.
