Chronic pain is physically and emotionally debilitating. It is distracting and exhausting. Chronic pain keeps you up during the night and prevents you from feeling fully present during the day. When you live with chronic pain, it requires every last ounce of your emotional and physical resources to manage the requirements for daily living and it robs you of your ability to be fully present and attentive to the people, pets and activities you love.
To your acupuncturist, your experience of physical pain is not limited to the experience of your body, it often manifests emotionally, as well. The physical symptoms are woven together with your emotional experience and together they encompass your living history. We work together to learn to listen to the language of the body as it gives us cues to identify not only physical restrictions and structural issues but also what might need attention emotionally.
In my clinical experience, the management or resolution of chronic pain requires a multi-disciplinary approach. With the support of gentle chiropractic care, yoga therapy, massage therapy and/or acupuncture, you can support and meet the various needs of your structure and give your nervous system its best chance at recovery.
