Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help people heal and manage medical conditions or injuries that cause pain. Originally developed as Eastern medicine in countries like China and Japan, this alternative therapy is now accepted in Western culture as an excellent complement to traditional medical treatments.

Acupuncturists believe in holistic healing, which is accomplished by improving the condition of the entire body rather than focusing only on specific ailments. Pain and illness is believed to occur when the energy circulating within the body along pathways, or meridians, becomes obstructed. Acupuncturists try to restore the natural flow of energy in the body in order to heal or even prevent illness and pain. During a session, an acupuncturist will insert small needles slightly below the skin’s surface. These needles activate physiological responses within your body that aid in healing and pain relief.

At HealthQuest Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Kirkland, Washington, we have an in-house acupuncturist available to help assist patients that suffer from issues like back pain, pregnancy pain or headache. We see clients benefit from this therapy every day and encourage you to consider meeting with our acupuncturist to discuss your pain management goals.

Successfully Manage Pain with Acupuncture at Our Clinic

At our clinic, acupuncture can be used alongside Kirkland chiropractic care and massage therapy to relieve the neck pain, back pain and headache that is associated with conditions like fibromyalgia and whiplash. Many of our female clients have even found that our acupuncturist can help with their pregnancy pain.

Our acupuncturist, Dr. Lori Jin, can perform an initial consultation to determine if this treatment can help improve the pain associated with your specific medical condition or injury. Our clients find their sessions with Dr. Jin to be very relaxing and enjoy the improvement they notice in their pain level after each visit.

We would love to hear more about how you have benefited from this alternative healing technique.
