Wanting to try acupuncture but worried that it might hurt? . . . This is one of the most common concerns mentioned by patients. Truth be told, everybody is different and their perception and tolerance to pain may differ ... . . . In general, acupuncture shouldn't cause any pain. Certain areas of the body, such as the hands and feet may be more sensitive than areas with thicker skin or more muscle . . . If there is persisting pain with acupuncture that is more than a small prick, talk to your therapist so that they can make the necessary adjustments . . . By the end of your acupuncture session, you may feel relaxed or more energized but not with more pain than you had originally come in with . . . Acupuncture is a treatment that can be done by both our acupuncturists @ryanjaw_acu and Kaiden, as well as our naturopathic doctor @dreshasingh . . .

Happy Monday #hartwellfitfam . . .... Have you tried electroacupuncture yet? It is one of the therapies our acupuncturists and naturopathic doctor may use during their treatments . . .

Electroacupuncture is commonly used for pain management, but it may have a role in hormonal balance as well! . . . A 2013 study from the Goteborg University in Sweden demonstrated that electroacupuncture could potentially assist with ovulation in women with PCOS . . . Additionally, both electroacupuncture and traditional acupuncture have been found improve outcomes in IVF, reduce/eliminate symptoms of endometriosis, and balance reproductive hormones in women with amenorrhea . . .

What types of treatments can you expect from a naturopathic medicine visit? One of the tools @dreshasingh may use is cupping! . . . Cupping is a simple, yet effective form of therapy for many types of muscular pain. The Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences found that cupping therapy was more effective in treating pain compared to medicine-only, because not only did it relieve symptoms, but also addressed the underlying cause of pain (e.g. injury, tightness, or ad...hesions) . . . While it may not look sightly, the benefits are numerous. Give cupping a try and see for yourself! . . . Also note that our naturopathic doctor and our acupuncturists are able to perform cupping as part of their treatment . . .
