🤳🏼Suffer from “tech neck”?

💻 If you work on screens for much of the day and feel that you “hold tension” in your neck and shoulders, you likely suffer from “tech neck.” 

Working on screens requires your body to be in the same position for long periods and also encourages a slouched posture. (Phones and laptops are particular bad because the monitor and keyboard are so close together).

🙃Depending on your job it may be impossible to avoid!

Yes, you can do a lot to improve the ergonomics of your work station (like getting a separate keyboard and mouse for your laptop). But sometimes that’s not enough, and if avoiding it all together is not an option…

⭐️ Getting acupuncture regularly helps to release existing tension and restore range of motion, and prevent pain and headaches that go along with tech neck.

Acupuncture works by:
🌀Releasing trigger points
⚡️Triggering the release of natural pain killers and anti-inflammatory agents
☯️Addressing underlying imbalances (according to Chinese Medicine) to address any related issues like insomnia and stress and anxiety
☯️We also use cupping and gua sha to clear stagnation, decompress tissue, break up adhesions and promote healing

*Here’s your reminder to take a break from your screen* ❤️

✨our tried and true treatments for back pain include:

⚡️Electro-acupuncture: gentle electrical stimulation on select acu-points to increase endogenous (made by your body) pain killers and anti-inflammatory agents

☯️Traditional Chinese Medicine acu-points: address underlying health imbalances such as sleep or digestion issues which can contribute to chronic pain

🚨Infrared heat: warmth that penetrates the muscles to relax and heal tissues

🌿Topical herbal liniments: Chinese herbs applied to the low back that have a slight analgesic effect and promote tissue healing

🌀Cupping: increases blood flow to and stimulates healing of targeted tissues

🦵🏼Treating the hips: releasing tight glutes which very often contribute to low back pain (and are sometimes the primary source!)

Does rainy weather make your muscles and joints ache, or cause a flare up of an old or chronic injury?⁠

In Chinese Medicine the elements in our environment are thought of as analogous to aspects of the body. “Damp” (wet or humid) weather can aggravate an imbalance called internal dampness. If your symptoms show up with rain this is a clue that you may have internal dampness. Chinese Medicine provides tools to address this which includes acupuncture, moxa, and internal and external herbs. A qualified practitioner of Chinese medicine can address internal dampness as part of a holistic approach to improving health and relieving pain.⁠

Here are a some things you can do on your own:⁠

-Dress for the weather to stay warm and dry. If you wash your hair in the morning, make sure it’s dry before you go out, wear proper footwear so you don’t end up with soggy socks all day, and make sure you have a raincoat and/or umbrella ready. This may sound obvious, but the key here is planning ahead!⁠

-Try an epsom salt bath at the end of the day to warm and relax muscles. ⁠

-Use a heating pad on any particularly achey areas for 15 min up to 3x/day. ⁠

-Add gently warming spices like cinnamon, ginger and turmeric to your food or drinks. Avoid extra spicy/greasy foods as this can contribute to internal dampness. ⁠

We don't treat turtles, but we do treat jaw pain and tension!

🐢🐢🐢
“While acupuncture isn’t commonly performed, we have used this treatment successfully in the past with other reptiles like snakes and lizards,” Dr. Aimee Berliner, the director of Animal Health and Welfare at the National Aquarium said. “We’re so pleased to see Bassoon’s progress and look forward to the day when we can return him to his ocean home.”

Bassoon initially received daily acupuncture treatments but within the past few weeks his progress has improved to the point where the acupuncture is no longer necessary, staff said."

A sea turtle that couldn’t open its mouth is finally on the road to improved health after undergoing acupuncture treatment at the National Aquarium.

~Acupuncture for Osteoarthritis~⁠

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and involves wearing down of the protective cartilage that cushions bone against bone in joints. Most people experience osteoarthritis at some point as they age and it’s often referred to as “wear and tear” on the joints. ⁠

Symptoms may include ⁠
-Pain⁠
-Stiffness⁠
-Swelling⁠
-Tenderness⁠
-Loss of range of motion or flexibility⁠
-A grating sensation in the joint⁠

Osteoarthritis most often shows up in the hands, spine, knees, and hips. ⁠

Needles to say, it can seriously affect your quality of life!⁠

Did you know that acupuncture is known to be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis? ⁠

The World Health Organization classifies acupuncture as an appropriate treatment for osteoarthritis, and there are numerous clinical studies that support the use of acupuncture for osteoarthritis.⁠

We cannot turn back time, but we can help you FEEL younger and more mobile! ⁠

🐢Slowing down is sometimes the best way to speed up🐇⁠

Do you ever feel like you need to go faster and harder all the time in order to feel productive?⁠

In the case of our health, slowing down is often what is actually needed and can even accelerate healing in the long run. Activities like meditation, free-writing, restorative yoga and rest-days pay off in the form of mental clarity and higher productivity in times when we need to turn the energy up.⁠

Acupuncture applies to this too. When you come in for your acupuncture appointment, your job is basically to do nothing. You get comfortable and let the acupuncture work its magic. You get to give yourself permission to let go of all your other obligations while you are on the treatment table. Doing so only helps to enhance your treatment and accelerate your healing.⁠

One of the benefits of regular acupuncture, besides relieving pain/balancing hormones/mood boosting/happier periods/etc, is that this moment of restoration is built into your schedule. You no longer have to worry about “doing” it. It becomes a habit you look forward to.⁠

In what ways are you slowing down and seeing it pay off? I would love to know in the comments!⁠
