Acupuncture is an evidence-informed component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for more than 2,000 years. It involves the precise insertion of thin, sterile, single-use needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing and pain-relief processes.

From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture may influence the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, helping to promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, modulate pain signals, and support the body's natural recovery processes.

Acupuncture may be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, muscle tension, joint discomfort, and pain associated with previous injuries. By stimulating specific areas of the body, acupuncture can encourage physiological responses that may help reduce pain and improve mobility and overall function.

At PAMS, acupuncture is offered as part of a comprehensive approach to pain management, with treatments tailored to each patient's individual condition, symptoms, and goals.

Chronic pain is the result of biological, social, and internal factors that can affect your quality of life. Our focus of pain management is to treat all these factors to get you back into the things that bring you joy, so that pain doesn’t keep you from being your best version of yourself.
