Acupuncture Q & A

What Is Acupuncture Treatment?

Acupuncture is a type of treatment that originated in China more than 3,000 years ago. Acupuncturists use extremely slim needles, placing them in key areas on the body to alleviate pain in a natural way. The needles create a balance in the body’s energy, which allows the body to return to its optimal pain-free state.

There are several types of acupuncture. In moxibustion, moxa taken from dried mugwort warms key areas and helps with smooth qi energy flow. In auricular acupuncture, points on the outer ear are stimulated for healing. In cupping therapy, suction is used to help stimulate blood flow and promote healing.

What Types of Conditions and Illnesses Can Acupuncture Help With?

Acupuncture can help with a very wide range of pain, illnesses, and conditions. These include lower back pain, headache pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps, digestive problems, insomnia, PMS, neck pain, and much more.

Also known simply as a TPIinjection, it is a very simple procedure used to address painful areas ofmuscle where there is a knot or trigger point. They are most commonly used tosoothe pain in the arms, legs, neck, and lower back, but injections can beadministered almost anywhere.

In addition to trigger point injection therapy, triggerpoints can be managed with rehabilitation, chiropractic care, and massagetherapy. Our services for trigger point injections in NYC are just one of theways we give our patients well-rounded, solution-orientated care designed toaddress the dysfunctions of modern life and tailored to their lifestyle.

They can form because of an injury, trauma,vitamin deficiency, joint problems, poor posture, if a muscle is overused, orsimply due to stress and anxiety. They can cause muscle strains and intensepain, and if this pain persists and worsens, the trigger point becomes acondition known as myofascial pain syndrome. Regardless of what the cause is,trigger point injection therapy can help manage the pain and prevent it fromworsening.

What is trigger point injection therapy?  

TPI injection therapy is a very simple procedure. Aninjection of a local anesthetic is administered to the trigger point using asmall needle, taking just a few minutes. If you have multiple trigger points,all can be treated in the same therapy session. In addition to the pain relieffor a patient, a TPI injection also helps out medical professionals like physicaltherapists. With a patient’s muscles being more relaxed, it’s easier for themto adjust the patient and have them practice certain movements.
