Stimulate nerve-rich areas and feel better quickly with minimally invasive acupuncture
Acupuncture is a technique used in Chinese Medicine to treat a variety of pain conditions. This minimally invasive method uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate nerve-rich areas of the skin and muscle. Due to its efficacy and lack of side effects, acupuncture is gaining popularity as a first line treatment and alternative to more aggressive medical treatments, such as surgery and drug therapy. More than 10 million acupuncture treatments are administered each year — in the United States alone. Acupuncture’s rise in popularity can be attributed in part to its clear effectiveness for pain relief, increasing range of motion and decreasing inflammation.

How does it work?
How does acupressure relieve pain?
First an acupressure point is chosen by locating a body part for soreness and tenderness. Acupressure points are located on both the site of pain (local) and far away from the site of pain (distal). Pressing these local and distal points for 30 seconds to 3 minutes at a time can help release muscle tension and promote blood circulation, leading to significant pain relief.
Acupressure massage is one of the cornerstones of Chinese Medicine. At Messina Acupuncture, acupressure is incorporated into every treatment plan. Acupressure is a powerful healing tool and is one of the many reasons why our clinic differs from conventional acupuncture clinics that limit themselves to acupuncture alone
