PAIN MANAGEMENT
With traditional Chinese medicine, pain management is accomplished through a combination of acupuncture, electro-stimulation and herbs. The goal of treatment is to help the body heal by restoring normal circulation and energy (Qi) flow. While a blockage of Qi and blood can cause joint pain in any area of the body, knee and shoulder pain is one of the most commonly treated conditions at the Sher Acupuncture Center.
LOWER BACK PAIN
Lower back pain is usually the result from strains (muscle tears), sprains (overstretched ligaments), herniated disks, and sciatica. Sciatica pain extends from the low back through the buttocks and down the leg. At the Sher Acupuncture Center, Gabriel Sher L.Ac. has extensive experience identifying and treating pain of the lower back and sciatica. A combination of acupuncture, electro-stimulation and tuina are used to treat the pain.
NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN
A variety of factors can lead to upper back pain including stress, poor posture, whiplash injury, and tendonitis of the shoulder joint. At the Sher Acupuncture Center, pain management therapy for individuals with upper back and neck pain includes a combination of acupuncture, electro-stimulation, cupping and massage.
