Personalized Acupuncture Care for Pain Relief and Wellness
At Gotham Acupuncture, we offer customized treatment plans to address a wide range of painful conditions and support your body's natural healing abilities. Our experienced acupuncturists combine traditional techniques with a modern understanding of the body to provide effective, minimally invasive care for issues such as:
Acupuncture for Back Pain and Orthopedic Conditions
Chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out acupuncture care. Whether your pain stems from an injury, computer work, posture issues, or age-related wear and tear, acupuncture can provide effective relief without the side effects of medication or surgery. By stimulating specific points acupuncture helps to release endorphins, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation to the affected area.
A 2015 systematic review published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that acupuncture was associated with significantly reduced chronic low back pain 1. Another study published in the Journal of Pain in 2017 reported that acupuncture provided long-term relief for chronic neck pain, with benefits persisting for over a year after treatment 2.
With the abundance of evidence it’s no surprise that doctors are sending referring out to acupuncturists more than ever before.
At Gotham Acupuncture, we develop targeted treatment plans to address your specific orthopedic concerns. By alleviating pain, reducing muscle tension, and improving range of motion, our acupuncture sessions can help you get back to the activities you love.
Menstrual Pain and PMS Relief
For many women, menstrual cramps, headaches, and other symptoms of PMS can be frustrating, problematic, or even debilitating. Acupuncture provides a safe, natural way to regulate your period, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation throughout your entire cycle. By restoring balance and removing blockages acupuncture can significantly alleviate menstrual pain and discomfort.
A 2018 meta-analysis published in the journal Medicine concluded that acupuncture was effective for reducing menstrual pain intensity and improving quality of life in women with primary dysmenorrhea 3. Another study in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies found that acupuncture alleviated PMS symptoms such as mood swings, breast tenderness, and bloating 4.
Our acupuncturists take a whole-person approach to menstrual health, addressing not just your physical symptoms but also the emotional and stress-related factors that can exacerbate pain. We'll work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that supports a more comfortable, balanced cycle.
Don’t let your cycle hold you back, come see how acupuncture can help you.
Headache and Migraine Treatment
Chronic headaches and migraines can be tremendously disruptive to your daily life. Acupuncture offers a drug-free treatment option that can reduce the frequency and severity of headaches by promoting relaxation, relieving muscle tension, and improving circulation.
A 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that acupuncture reduced the frequency of headaches in people with episodic migraines compared to no treatment or routine care 5. A more recent 2020 study in the journal Neurology reported that regular acupuncture sessions led to a significant reduction in migraine days and improved quality of life 6.
Whether you experience tension headaches, migraines, or cluster headaches, our skilled acupuncturists will develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique triggers and provide lasting relief.
Customized Care for Optimal Wellness
At Gotham Acupuncture, we recognize that each patient's pain experience is unique. That's why we take a highly individualized approach to care, taking the time to understand your health history, symptoms, and goals for treatment. By incorporating acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and other modalities according to your needs, we'll help you achieve optimal health and wellness.
In addition to alleviating acute symptoms, our acupuncture sessions aim to correct underlying imbalances that can contribute to chronic pain. By strengthening your body's innate healing mechanisms and promoting overall relaxation, acupuncture can enhance your resilience to stress and prevent future flare-ups.
Whether you're seeking relief from back pain, menstrual cramps, headaches, or other chronic conditions, Gotham Acupuncture is here to support you on your wellness journey. Our experienced practitioners are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help you live your best life.
