How Acupuncture May Help with Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS):

Regulating the Nervous System:
Acupuncture is thought to help regulate the autonomic nervous system, which can become dysregulated after a concussion, leading to symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and headaches.

Increasing Blood Flow:
Acupuncture may increase blood flow to the brain, which can be beneficial for healing and reducing inflammation.

Reducing Pain and Muscle Tension:
Acupuncture can help alleviate headaches, neck pain, and muscle tension, which are common PCS symptoms.

Addressing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective:
TCM views concussions as disruptions in the body's energy flow (Qi). Acupuncture aims to restore balance to this energy, promoting recovery.

Specific Applications:

Headaches:
Acupuncture is as effective as medication in treating headaches associated with PCS.

Neck Pain:
Acupuncture and dry needling can help with neck pain and stiffness, especially for those who have experienced whiplash in their concussion.

Anxiety and Insomnia:
Acupuncture may help calm the nervous system, potentially reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.

Other Symptoms:
Acupuncture may also be helpful for nausea, dizziness, and other PCS symptoms.

Important Considerations:

Individualized Treatment:
The specific acupuncture points used will vary depending on the individual's symptoms and TCM diagnosis.

Combining with Other Treatments:
Acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy alongside other treatments, such as physical therapy, rest, and medication.

Here are two maps with some routes you can use to get to our parking lot off Alderney Drive.
We are not sure how long the closure will be but it could be a month or more.
