Proudly Part of Privia Health
We are proud to offer both Acupuncture and Myofascial Pain Treatment as a part of our comprehensive wellness services. While acupuncture and myofascial pain treatment have some similarities, there are distinct differences between the two approaches and the symptoms they manage.
Acupuncture offers a unique and effective approach to preventive health care. By stimulating specific points on the body with thin needles, acupuncture aims to balance the flow of energy, or “Qi”, improving overall health and preventing illness. Many people turn to acupuncture not just for pain relief, but as a way to boost immunity, manage stress, and promote general wellness. Acupuncture complements other preventive practices, such as healthy eating, exercise, and stress management, by promoting harmony in both the body and mind.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a long-term pain condition in which regional muscle pain is characterized by localized muscle tenderness and is frequently the cause of chronic pain. Myofascial pain can develop after a muscle has been repeatedly tensed and areas of tight muscle fibers, called trigger points, form in the muscles. Treatments may include dry needling, electroacupuncture and needle-less therapy.
