Pain Relief for Shoulder Injuries 

Wether you are a professional athlete who has injured your shoulder playing sports or simply pulled a muscle shoveling snow, acupuncture can be an amazing solution to your pain. Many Chinese Medicine patients have avoided surgery by seeking acupuncture or cupping. Once a shoulder has been injured it can easily be re-injured again. Thankfully with acupuncture the shoulder can be healed and strengthened to prevent further injury. When you come in you will receive an extensive exam to in order to set up the best plan of action to heal your shoulder. There are many approaches we can use to relieve  pain and treat the root of the cause of the pain, while strengthening the body from the inside out.

Acupuncture for Shoulder Pain

Picture
Picture
 Acupuncture can treat shoulder pain extremely well and relatively quickly. Often shoulder pain can be treated using distal points on the patients wrist or ankle. People are often quite surprised that I can insert just a few tiny needles into their wrist or ankle and they feel immediate relief in their shoulder. Chinese medicine acknowledges that we have meridians Other times I will insert the needles directly into the injured muscle or a trigger point that is associated with the pain. You will receive a custom acupuncture treatment that is best suited for you and your injury. 

Cupping

Cupping therapy is another option that can be used either by itself or in combination with acupuncture. Cupping is greatly therapeutic and many people find it quite relaxing. Cupping is a great way to relax or release tight muscles while also bringing white blood cells to the area which promotes healing so the body can assist itself in healing the injured area. 
Shoulder Testimonial 

 "I have had terrible shoulder problems for as long as I can remember. I have had 2 reconstructive shoulder surgeries in the last 6 years. It has gotten to the point where my orthopedic surgeon has started to hint that I may need a shoulder replacement. While I have learned how to deal with my lack of shoulder mobility, the pain is often almost unbearable. So unbearable, that I cannot remember the last time that I got a full nights sleep. I went to see Kira in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Kira was very friendly and professional, which made me really comfortable. She asked a lot of questions in order to personalize the treatment for my pain. After the treatment was completed, I wasn't quite sure what to think, but as the day progressed I realized that my shoulder felt better than it had several years. That night, I went to bed and had the best sleep that I have had in recent memory. I will definitely be going back to Kira and highly recommend her to anybody in the market to get quality acupuncture." M.J. Denver

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a method of helping the body to promote natural healing and to improve health. The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy (qi) run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface nourishing and supporting every cell, gland, organ and tissue. These channels, called meridians and are like rivers flowing through the body affecting blood flow to various organs structures. An obstruction in the movement of these energetic rivers is like a dam that blocks the flow. When and obstruction, deficiencies or excess of energy occurs it can lead to pain, discomfort, and/or a variety of other symptoms/disease. 

An acupuncturist can influence the meridians by inserting a tiny needle into very precise acupuncture points. This unblocks and reestablishes the flow through the medians therefore treating the root of the cause and improving health.

What Should I Expect on My First Visit?
On your first visit to an acupuncturist usually begins with the practitioner taking a detailed history. After review, the practitioner will begin diagnosing your ailment. A visual examination of the tongue and palpation of  the pulse will give the acupuncturist information to diagnose the patient. 


How Many Treatments Do I need?
The number of treatment depends on the seriousness of your condition. A typical course of acupuncture treatment is 10 sessions, although significant improvements can occur after just a few visits. Your first visit may take 90 minutes due to the initial intake and interview, with subsequent visits lasting about 30-60 minutes.

Does it hurt? 
Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and hair-thin  They are also inserted to much more shallow levels than hypodermic needles, generally no more than 1/2 -inch to an inch. While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel only a minimal amount of sensation as the needles are inserted. Some people report feeling a sensation dull acheyness, while others feel relaxed. I use a very gentle teqnique and tiny needles to create maximum comfort.

Are The Needles Sterile?
Yes, all the needles are sterile and only used one time. 


How Big are the needles?
Needles used extremely thin, most people are surprised find out that needles are actual about the thickness of a strand of hair. 

What does it feel like?
The sensation a you will feels can vary from person to person. Some people feel almost nothing while others feel a heavy, dull, achey or even a tickle sensation which indicates the arrival of qi. People generally find acupuncture a very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable experience. 


What happens on the first acupuncture visit?
Generally, your first visit is longer than your followup visits and entails a great deal of questioning in order to find out the root of the issue and the constitution of the patient. 

The primary questioning is a very important part of the initial diagnosis and treatment planning. Additional diagnostic methods in chinese medicine are looking at your tongue and feeling your pulse. This  allows the acupuncturist to customize the treatment specifically to you.


What other techniques are used besides acupuncture needles?
Acupuncture only one facet of oriental medicine. Many times an acupuncturist may choose to utilize an additional technique or modality that maybe include one or more of the following: 

Electro-acupuncture - acupuncture needles are connected to a machine that delivers an electrical charge. This method is commonly used for people dealing with pain or muscular issues.  
Moxibustion - Commonly called moxa, mugwart, or Artemesia Vulgaris and is an herb that is burned on top of a needle. Moxa is commonly used in people dealing with cold or deficient conditions. 
Cupping - uses glass or plastic cups which are placed on the body with suction to help remove toxins and muscle tension or stimulate the immune system. Cupping is commonly used for people with muscle, tension, pain or immune issues and common colds.
 Tuina/Shiatsu - is essentially massage affecting qi, blood and muscles, it is used with theory of meridians and acupuncture points and can be used for various conditions.
