“Pain is often our body’s first line of communication.” Brenna Galves L.A.c., Dipl. OM
Are you ready to have a pain-free life? Do you feel like you have tried everything and the next step is surgery or narcotics for the rest of your life? Are you an athlete that wants to perform at the top this next season?
Reset Medical Solutions at Monument Lake Resort wants to help you get you life back and live a pain free vacation. You should never have to “live with pain,” especially while you are on vacation, living your best life. If there is something causing you physical pain, we believe it is a way for you body to say, “Hey! Something is amiss and we need to get it back on track, TODAY. Help me please?!”
If we let pain go on for too long, or we completely ignore the pain, it has been proven to create other forms of chaos, or dysfunction.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine was traditionally used as a preventative medicine; you would see your acupuncturist to prevent issues from getting worse or to prevent injury. Over the years and cultural changes, we have evolved into a mentality that tells you to ignore the pain until it has affected your life in such a way that you have to pay attention.
A lot of the time, we reach for pain medication first, followed by more ignoring of the symptoms and potential side effects of drugs, and then sometimes we can jump right to surgery if our physicians instruct us to. Unfortunately, most of the time acupuncture and alternative therapy is last on our priority list.
We see a lot of new patients at our clinic that “have tried everything else,” and often times within just one treatment we see them improving, depending on the diagnosis that is being treated and how chronic the pain is. Acupuncture works wonders for pain cases because one of it’s main capabilities is to increase blood circulation to reduce inflammation and pain. Acupuncture is also effective at calming down our autonomic nervous system(ANS), to stop all those automatic pain signals from continuously firing off. With pain treatment, we release the motor points that are in the belly of the muscle to give you relaxation and pain relief, sometimes instantly.
