Benefits of Acupuncture

At Optimal Health Chiropractic and Massage Clinic, we are often asked "What are the benefits of acupuncture in Edmonds?" by patients looking for additional ways to relieve their pain. Let us tell you firsthand some of the health benefits you can expect if you visit our clinic in Edmonds, WA for acupuncture. 

What are the Benefits of Acupuncture in Edmonds?

Acupuncture uses small, thin needles to move the body's energy or qi and promote mind body wellness. Since the treatment releases endorphins, acupuncture at Optimal Health Chiropractic can be quite a relaxing experience. If you are new to the holistic treatment, do not worry that it will hurt. Many of our patients become so relaxed during an acupuncture appointment that they fall asleep! 

When you come to us for acupuncture, we will take a health history. Based on our findings and your specific health complaints, we will recommend a particular number of appointments to treat your underlying condition. We can also offer you health and wellness tips that will complement your treatment, recommend nutritional supplements or vitamins, and give you lifestyle advice. After you are treated, you can continue to see us for tune-ups that help maintain your health and wellness. 

Areas that Acupuncture Treats

Acupuncture can be used to treat specific health complaints, from back or neck pain to arthritis or digestive problems. Generally, our acupuncturist, Kirby Grey, recommends that you have a series of appointments to find relief from a specific health complaint. However, you may feel the benefits of getting acupuncture in Edmonds after your first appointment.

While acupuncture is an ancient healing modality, there have been several modern studies that have confirmed its effectiveness. Research has shown that acupuncture activates the body's internal healing system and soothes the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, digestive system, and cardiovascular system. 

As the treatment stimulates these different systems, you can experience less pain and inflammation, greater mental and emotional wellbeing, better sleep at night, and improved digestive function. 

Regular acupuncture can help with health and wellness goals from happier moods to weight loss. Since acupuncture is a natural healing system, it can easily complement our chiropractic adjustments or support your conventional care plan for a specific health need.
