Acupuncture does not only help with pain. Eastern medicine replies on the mind - body - spirit connection to work toward optimal health.  

This term 'mind-body-spirit' gets over-used and can even sound trite, but for lack of a better term, this is what we will use. That said, pain can often have an emotional component. A general rule of thumb I like to use is if there is pain with no injury, there may be an emotional trauma stored somewhere in the body. Don't take my word for it. It is well documented that muscle memory is a thing, and we can store emotional trauma deep in the viscera and muscle tissue. Acupuncture can help access those emotional injuries and without reliving the trauma or triggering those emotions, release some of those stored up traumas. We have a lot of experience releasing emotional trauma from the body. I never dig in without permission, and I don't even need to know what happened. That's how powerful acupuncture can be in helping treat the mind and body and spirit.
