New at Colacurcio Wellness LLC: “Acupuncture for Pain Relief”
We’re excited to now offer Acupuncture focused specifically on pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved movement.
Our approach uses very thin, sterile needles to target muscles and motor points that may be contributing to pain and movement dysfunction.
How it helps:
🔹 Muscle Spasms: Needling directly into a muscle spasm can help the muscle relax, reducing muscle tension and pain.
🔹 Motor Points: Stimulating motor points can help calm overactive muscles and improve muscle activation and coordination.
🔹 Neural & Myofascial Tension: By releasing muscle spasms, reducing myofascial tension, and calming overactive muscles, acupuncture may help reduce neural tension and relieve pressure on irritated or impinged nerves.
The goal is to reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, improve muscle coordination, and help you move more comfortably.
Acupuncture can be especially helpful when traditional approaches such as physical therapy, massage therapy, or exercise have not provided the relief you’re looking for. Acupuncture has been shown to help manage many types of pain and may provide another option when you’re still struggling to get relief.
It may be beneficial for:
• Back & neck pain
• Muscle spasms & tension
• Joint pain & stiffness
• Headaches
• Sprains & strains
• Tendon injuries
• Chronic pain
Sessions are approximately 45 minutes.
