Acupuncture Points to Increased Vitality, Energy
and Health at Edison Wellness Center

The goal of Backsmart Wellness Center is to help people be as healthy and pain-free as they can be, and one of the methods we use to reach our goal is acupuncture. This Ancient Chinese Medicine practice has been benefiting people for years, helping to alleviate a number of physically and mentally painful conditions with the use of gently inserted needles. Our Edison acupuncturist places needles at specific points along the body to help free blocked energy and promote health and healing.

Benefits Include Alleviation of Back Pain, Neck Pain, Stress and Promotion of Healing

The practice has been effective for treating back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip and dental pain, migraines and headaches. Other conditions it can help include fibromyalgia, sciatica, osteoarthritis and arthritis. We can also use it to treat injuries and muscles damaged or hurt by overuse in conditions such as tennis elbow, sprains and strains.

Women often find relief from labor pain and menstrual cramps with the treatment, while it has relieved chemotherapy-related or surgery-related vomiting and nausea in others.

Mental conditions it can help include depression, anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related disorders. Chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, bladder infections, sinus problems, and even infertility have responded well to acupuncture treatments.

In addition to unblocking the body’s overall energy flow, the points targeted by the needles correspond to various organs and body parts, resulting in stimulation and an increased blood flow to the targeted areas. A major case in point is our use of the practice for weight loss. Needles are inserted into specific areas in the ear that correspond to the mouth, spleen, and endocrine and hunger points, areas that affect digestion, metabolism, hunger, and over-eating. The needles give the metabolism and blood circulation a boost to the targeted areas, which results in the promotion of weight loss.

The benefits of this practice are vast. At our chiropractic center, the treatments we offer are as varied as each patient we see, with each tailored to the specific needs of the client.
