As you return to hiking, softball, golf, running, and other activities this spring, are you stiff, sore, or aware of an old injury? Perhaps a rotator cuff tear, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendon strain, or arthritic joints are keeping you from returning to activities you enjoy. While NSAIDs alleviate pain and inflammation, overuse may have undesirable side effects. Surgery is last resort for many cautious consumers, and injections must be used judiciously. Consider acupuncture and herbal medicine as part of your wellness regime. Acupuncture stimulates local points to send the body’s healing defenses to the targeted tissues. With a centuries old track record, now supported by modern research, acupuncture uses your body’s own resources to promote healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and harmonize all the body’s systems. Herbal formulas can also help boost energy, reduce pain and improve function. Interested? Call me at 702-204-1342 for a free 15-minute consultation!
