Find Anatomical Acupuncture for Pain Relief and Return of Function

Experience the transformative benefits of anatomical acupuncture at Rutherford Physical Therapy in Edmonton. This highly specialized treatment works on the principle of traditional acupuncture, combined with the modern anatomical knowledge required to treat pain, promote muscle recovery, and enhance overall well-being.

What Is Anatomical Acupuncture?

Anatomical acupuncture is a specialized treatment grounded in a profound understanding of human anatomy and physiology. This approach has been modified from traditional Chinese medicine to use exact techniques to stimulate specific points of the body that enhance healing and naturally reduce pain.

How Does It Work?

Acupuncture points are found near peripheral nerves, spinal nerves, muscle motor points, and the junctions of muscles with tendons. Upon stimulation of these points with fine, sterile needles, physiological responses occur in the body. The response is created by inserting the needles into the specific points to help restore muscle tone, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Enhancing nerve function may be achieved through the stimulation of the acupuncture points, which may further help in recovering muscle movement and flexibility. Some of the common benefits of anatomical acupuncture include:
  • Pain Relief: Acupuncture assists by reducing both acute and chronic pain through stimulation of pain areas or points.
  • Muscle Relaxation The technique will help relax muscle tightness, spasms, and overactivity for the purpose of improved mobility and flexibility.
  • Inflammation Decrease: Acupuncture triggers body healing, which can decrease the inflammation which in turn helps recover faster.
  • General Relaxation: Acupuncture can help create general relaxation and reduce the level of stress and anxiety.

What to Expect During Your Acupuncture Session

During your acupuncture session, you can expect a comprehensive assessment from our experienced acupuncturist in Edmonton, who will determine if acupuncture is suitable for your specific condition and recovery goals.

The session typically involves several key steps:

Needle Insertion

Thin, sterile needles are carefully inserted into a number of pre-defined areas of your body. There are a large number of these areas identified as per various health concerns and recovery requirements. These thin needles encourage the body’s inherent ability to self-heal.

Post-Simulation Period

Once it’s inserted, the needles can be left for up to 15-30 minutes. During the treatment, you should notice some sort of numbness or warmth sensation, which seems kind of like a relaxed setting to encourage the body’s reactions as you heal.

Aftercare

You might experience slight soreness or minor bruising at the needle sites, which is perfectly normal. Light exercises or gentle movements may help alleviate discomfort.
Some people immediately feel the effects, while others develop benefits over multiple sessions.

Post-Treatment Care and Considerations

After receiving acupuncture treatment, you’ll want to follow some guidelines to help ensure a seamless recovery and maximize all the benefits from your therapy. Here’s what’s in store for you.

  • Continue moderate exercise as part of your rehabilitation process.
  • Avoid heavy physical activity or exertion immediately after treatment.
  • Minor bruising or tenderness is expected at the needle puncture sites, but all of these should resolve spontaneously within a few days.
  • Acupuncture is said to be safe. However, if you ever encounter some adverse reactions during treatment, your acupuncturist is there for you.

The physiotherapist is also there to assist in any problem that may come up regarding the treatment; they always ensure you follow the track of recovery.
