Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and has been a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for many different ailments including arm and shoulder pain, swelling, headaches, hip pain, sinus trouble/allergies, carpal tunnel syndrome, colds, joint pain, stress and anxiety, whiplash and more. So, if you are suffering from chronic pain or have a nagging injury that will not go away, acupuncture might be an excellent option to relieve the pain you are feeling. Advanced Medical of Twin Cities specializes in a wide range of treatment options, including acupuncture, to relieve your pain and help you find balance and optimal health.
Can Acupuncture Help with my Pain?
Some of our clients are initially skeptical of acupuncture and think that it might cause pain. The tiny needles that are inserted into your body typically do not hurt at all. Acupuncture can stimulate the central nervous system which then releases healing chemicals into your muscles, spinal cord and brain. For many, this process reduces the pain that you are feeling fairly quickly, often during or after the very first session. Every client is unique, so we may recommend several acupuncture sessions if we think that you can benefit from multiple sessions. Acupuncture can work when many other treatment options, including over the counter and/or prescription pain medications do not.
One really important element in the work that we do at Advanced Medical of Twin Cities is getting to know our clients and their needs. In order to recommend any treatment options, we need to understand exactly what you are dealing with, when your pain started, and any other issues that may be at play for you. This allows our staff to develop an individualized treatment plan that will address your unique concerns and allow for a long term treatment plan that can improve your health and reduce your pain.

Acupuncture can improve your sleep, reduce your stress, and give you a sense of control over your own health.
