Acupuncture & Myofascial Trigger Point (MFTP) Therapy
Acupuncture can be part of a multimodal approach to managing various conditions. Acupuncture can cause physiological change by stimulating nervous, immune and vascular responses.
My use of the modality mainly focuses on addressing pain and improving mobility and quality of life however the modality can address various conditions based on the practitioner's expertise or focus. I consider acupuncture to be a potentially useful tool in the toolbox of medical care. For pain and mobility, this adjunct therapy can be used for post-surgical care, arthritis, injury, muscular dysfunction and many other acute and chronic causes of discomfort. It can address side effects of drugs and chemotherapy such as nausea and digestive discomfort. Myofascial trigger point therapy uses manual or needling technique to address muscle dysfunction that result from injury or chronic disease. Depending on patient need, needles, aquapuncture, acupressure, and electroacupuncture can be used.
