Holistic Pain Solutions

At Karis Acupuncture Clinic, our goal is to manage pain with non-invasive and low pharmacological applications. Acupuncture has been demonstrated to enhance endogenous opiates, such as dynorphin, endorphin, encephalin, and release corticosteroids, relieving pain and enhancing the healing process. Many studies show its ability to manage pain — especially for headache and neck, back, knee, and osteoarthritis pain. Typical Western medical pain treatments often offer short-term relief, but do not address problems in the long term.  Many people also experience adverse effects from pain medication, develop narcotic dependence, or suffer irreversible complications from invasive procedures. Acupuncture helps to address the source of the problem to treat pain effectively and safely.

We offer a unique treatment plan based on the individual's needs.

Holistic Pain Solutions might include:  

• Acupuncture combined with physical therapy 
• Various modalities to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, remove stagnated blood, and release the muscle tension
• Detoxification protocols to assist the body in reducing inflammation 
• Herbal Medicine / Supplements

Your practitioner guides you to adopt an individualized, healthy lifestyle plan so you can establish a foundation for a pain-free future. 

通則不痛, 不痛則通 

It literally translates to "Free circulation causes no pain, no circulation causes pain."

Pain is the body's natural response to injury, inflammation, or overuse. While it's normal to experience pain from time to time, you should seek medical care if the pain interferes with your daily activities. You should also get treatment if your pain worsens or if you have symptoms of another chronic condition in addition to your pain.

Dedication is at the heart of our care. Acupuncture treatments can help empower people to heal themselves. We believe that the combined efforts of the doctor and patient enable a positive recovery journey.
