Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing that involves inserting fine needles into designated points on the body to foster natural healing and restore balance. It is well-known for its ability to relieve pain and support recovery from injuries, as well as enhance overall well-being. By boosting cell activity, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation and ease chronic pain conditions such as back pain, headaches, and joint pain. This holistic practice promotes both physical and mental health, providing a non-invasive approach to various health issues.
Dr. Oliver Grover specializes in acupuncture treatments that are tailored to your individual needs, concentrating on Orthopedic Acupuncture, Sports Acupuncture, and Pain Relief Acupuncture. If you’re facing a sports injury or dealing with pain from conditions such as migraines or back pain, Dr. Grover will create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific issues. His expertise in orthopedic and sports acupuncture ensures that the underlying causes of your injuries and symptoms are effectively targeted, helping you to restore strength, mobility, and overall health.
Condition Treated
Sports Injuries
Acupuncture helps athletes recover more quickly from strains and sprains, eases muscle pain, and boosts blood flow to the injured areas. This not only speeds up healing but also reduces inflammation, enabling athletes to get back to their sports sooner.
Back Pain
This therapy relieves chronic back pain by releasing the pelvic and spinal muscle trigger points to reduce tension and inflammation. By releasing endorphins that help diminish pain, it restores motion and spinal alignment to the joints.
Neck Pain
Effective in relieving neck stiffness and tension, acupuncture targets muscle knots and promotes blood flow to the area. It helps ease chronic discomfort, improves range of motion, and reduces the tightness that often causes neck pain.
Migraines & Headache
This technique helps to lessen both the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines. It relaxes muscles, balances energy levels, and enhances circulation by targeting specific points, offering lasting relief without relying on medication.
Running Injuries
For runners, acupuncture offers addressing common issues like IT band syndrome, shin splints, and knee pain. It supports faster recovery and peak performance by boosting blood circulation, minimizing inflammation, and balances muscle.
Treatment Process
During your first visit, we will review your health history, concerns, and goals. After assessing your pain, lifestyle, and past treatments, we will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs, ensuring safe and effective care for pain relief, recovery, or wellness.
- During the treatment, we carefully insert very fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. These points are selected based on your individual needs, concentrating on the area of concern to achieve optimal results.
- As the needles are gently inserted, you may feel a slight pinch, mild pressure, or a dull sensation. This is completely normal and part of the healing process, but most clients find the insertion to be generally painless and easy to tolerate.
- Many clients report feeling a deep sense of relaxation or warmth in the treated area once the needles are in place. This sensation indicates that acupuncture is effectively working to restore balance and promote healing.
- The needles are left in place for about 20-30 minutes while you remain relaxed. During this time, your body responds to the acupuncture treatment, helping with pain relief, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall recovery.
- Following your session, you could feel a sense of relaxation, increased energy, or some tenderness in the treated area.
- Drinking plenty of water is crucial to help flush out toxins and support your body’s healing process.
- You might be advised to take it easy and avoid heavy activities for the first 24 hours post-treatment.
- Generally, recovery is quick, and many clients experience immediate relief, though individual results can vary, and multiple sessions may be recommended for sustained benefits.
