“So what we notice with chronic pain is that the (brain's body) map of that painful area of your body spreads and blurs... It's no longer clearly connected and the area gets busier, more dense...This is called neuroplasticity, the plasticity of the brain itself. It adapts to chronic pain and maintains it.” - Dr. Arlene Cox

Once we become stuck in the downward spiral of chronic pain and the all encompassing effect it has on our lives and mental health it can be incredibly difficult to change course. I was personally able to overcome a large part of my chronic pain before I even became aware of the biopsychosocial model of pain, thanks to Rolfing SI, but understanding this model formed a critical piece of the puzzle that helped me to beat the odds and move forward to a relatively pain free existence. I wanted to share some links here as a resource for people who maybe aren't familiar with this, because when we understand what is happening in our bodies we can be empowered to do something about it!

So how does Rolfing fit into all of this? A 10 series is not just a process of bringing holistic movement and balance back into tissues, it's a process of learning and developing body awareness in your conscious and unconscious mind. By bringing movement back into restricted layers of fascia I believe we can start redefining our brain map and reversing this process described by Dr. Cox above which goes hand in hand with chronic pain. By reawakening dormant (WDR) neurons in fascia we may do more than just help to refine our brain map. Studies have shown that when these neurons stop firing our nervous system becomes hyper responsive to other nociceptive signals from the same area, one type of signal serves to dampen the other. This inhibitory mechanism provides another good explanation for why Rolfing may be helpful in dealing with chronic pain, and why a small movement or strain can sometimes lead to extreme over reactions of pain, tension, and inflammation.

The quote above is from the “Chronic Pain Lecture Series” from the page linked below under Patient Resources. If you are dealing with chronic pain you might benefit from going through the information provided there, or even attending some of the free classes offered. If you feel like you would like extra help in getting moving, building connection and awareness or positive momentum in your experience of your body, I would love to be a resource to you in that journey!

TONIGHT and every Monday and Wednesday we offer Community Acupuncture. This is such a special offer we have at Sacral Health. We direct bill to most insurance companies!!! ✨😊

What is Community Acupuncture you may ask????

Community style groups of 3-4 people. People come in 15 min increments and appointments are 1h in duration

Modern research has shown that acupuncture works by stimulating a broad range of systems in our body. Acupuncture can stimulate our immune system, increasing blood cell count and activity. It can help reduce pain by releasing neurotransmitters in the body and deactivating areas in our brain which process pain. Acupuncture can help ease stress and tension, improve digestive symptoms, and lower blood pressure by regulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. It can assist with healing after an injury or accident by stimulating the body to deliver blood and nutrients to the injured area.

Acupuncture & IMS both use acupuncture needles, so what's the difference?!

- the techniques used
- location where the needles are going
- the sensations you feel
- the effect on the body

Acupuncture is a holisitic modality used within Traditional Chinese Medicine. Needles are inserted into acupuncture points through out the body, to illicit a response in the health of the entire body. Alongside pain, acupuncture is used for a variety of conditions of the whole body - such as digestion, sleep, headaches, anxiety, etc. The needles used in acupuncture are coated with silicone, so that they easily glide into the body without pain. Most people find acupuncture to be painless and relaxing.

IMS or intramuscular stimulation is a western technique used mostly by physiotherapists. Needles are inserted into trigger points in muscles to illicit a local response and relieve pain and tension. Often uncoated needles and stimulating techniques are used to get a response in the muscle (to get the muscle to twitch), which can come with strong sensations. IMS is great for releasing those stubborn tight muscles.

I hope this helps clarify the differences between Acupuncture and IMS! They are both amazing modalities but are quite different experiences.

If you've tried IMS and that has made you nervous to try acupuncture, I would encourage you to come in and experience the difference for yourself.
