Fix Knee Pain with Acupuncture…

Fix Knee Pain with Acupuncture…

Acupuncture is good at relieving knee pain due to Arthritis, whether due to Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis. 

Osteoarthritis is the wear-and-tear type of Arthritis…In general, our parts age as we age.

Osteoarthritis usually affects larger, weight-bearing joints, like hips and knees.

 

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an Auto Immune disease.

Rheumatoid Arthritis usually affects smaller, non-weight-bearing joints like knuckles of the fingers.

The joint lining is affected in Rheumatoid Arthritis and can lead to twisted, deformed joints.

 

Both cause pain.

Both cause joint damage.

 

Post-surgery Knee Pain:

Acupuncture is great for lowering the inflammation and swelling after knee surgery and can help heal scars from surgery.

Scars are not just an issue of vanity. They can interfere with the circulation.

This can cause long-term numbness or a feeling of cold sensation at the scar site.

Acupuncture treats knee scars and scars in other areas of the body, too.

 

It is good to wait about six weeks after to treat the actual scar itself.

This is because we want the cell matrix to ensure the build-up of collagen and healthy tissue.

In other words, we do not want to mess with the healing process.

It is creating a scar to protect you for a reason.

Acupuncture can be administered right after surgery, just not right at the scar site before six weeks time.

 

Acupuncture has been shown to help relieve knee pain and to help improve knee function.

Acupuncture is good for almost all types of pain-even long-standing, chronic pain!

Read more Here on How Acupuncture Can Help with Joint Pain in general.

 

Many of my acupuncture patients with bone-on-bone knee pain, have been able to avoid knee replacement surgery for many years!

This can be great for some who are unable to commit to taking the required time off for recovery due to job, etc.

Some just want to buy some time.

Either way, acupuncture lowers inflammation and pain.

 

Are you ready to try acupuncture to relieve pain and start living again?

CBD Oil for Chronic Pain (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

CBD Oil for Chronic Pain

What is CBD?

CBD is an alternative Pain/ Inflammation Relief available to the public. CBD is taken in a variety of forms.

At first, I was hesitant to carry anything CBD because I figured it was just another fad (snake oil) without much research to back up the claims of it being effective.

Boy, was I wrong… After trying it myself on my neck around my occipital muscles and avoiding muscle tension pain and muscle knots- I was hooked!

This is when I decided to start carrying CBD varieties and offering this magic inflammation-reducer remedy to my patients-who mostly come in for Chronic pain and chronic issues such as Sleep, Headaches and Anxiety.

 

At Aleesha D Acupuncture, CBD is sold as Oil taken internally, Ointment and Stick (the latter two apply externally to the skin)

  • Oil
  • Ointment (cream)
  • Stick.

 

Cream or Stick Use: Pain, Chronic Pain in Muscles or Joints.

Use on: The stick is good for travel, in a gym bag and reaching areas like the back and feet.

Oral Oil Use: Anxiety, Sleep, 2nd Vehicle for Major, Chronic Pain (use with Cream or Stick for Pain for best effect). This is sublingual oil, meaning it goes under the tongue.

 

Why Try CBD for Chronic Pain & Other Issues:

CBD is non-habit-forming so one will not become addicted to CBD as may be the case with other pain-relief substances, drugs and medications. Many are looking for Opioid-alternatives in this day and age with all the heart-breaking addiction happening as a result of taking pain-reliving opioid drugs over time.

It is easy to travel with and use CBD when needed.

It is more affordable than many alternatives, such as issues around medications and costs of surgeries.

  • Medication alternative
  • Surgery alternative
  • Non-addicting
  • Affordable
  • Easy to Use

Why Try CBD at Aleesha D Acupuncture?

The brand at Aleesha D Acupuncture uses Charlotte’s Web™hemp extract, the Gold standard.

CBD products carried are practitioner-grade 

CBD Cream carried here has the most powerful formulation of 11% camphor, 16% menthol for fast pain relief (instant to minutes)

Then the CBD kicks in after the camphor and menthol take effect (about 15 minutes)

–This is why CBD products have menthol and camphor added.

 

CBD Oil & Uses:
CBD Oil is commonly used to reduce severe, chronic pain and inflammation, anxiety and insomnia.

  • PAIN
  • ANXIETY
  • ARTHRITIS
  • HEADACHES
  • INSOMNIA
  • INFLAMMATION
  • BACK PAIN/ NECK PAIN/ BONE-ON-BONE KNEE PAIN

 

CBD Oil & How to Take:

CBD Oil is taken orally and sublingual (under tongue). Typically the inflammation-reducing oil is held under the tongue for 30-seconds and then swallowed. Some take it in the morning, bedtime or both.

CBD Oil & When to Take:

When to take CBD depends on symptoms and the individual. If taking for Insomnia or Sleep issues, it probably makes most sense to take CBD at night. If taking for Chronic pain and the pain disturbs sleep, taking CBD at night is a good place to start. If pain is worse at the beginning of the day, as is normal for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients, try taking CBD in the morning to get the joints going for the day.

CBD is sought after because it can be an alternative to addictive substances, both legal and illegal and has surprisingly effective pain-relief results! This is why it flies off of the shelves here at Aleesha D Acupuncture.

Acupuncture Helps Joint Pain (at Anoka Pain and Women’s Health Clinic)

Acupuncture Helps Relieve the Pain caused by Arthritis

Acupuncture is good at treating pain caused by Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Degenerative disorders, including back pain due to degenerative disc.

Acupuncture Improves Joint Function

  • Lowers Inflammation
  • Improves Mobility (Movement)
  • Improves Range of Motion (R.O.M)

Acupuncture is a Safe Treatment

  • NO side effects such as with Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
  • NO side effects such as with cortisone shots
  • NO side effects such as with surgery

Acupuncture is a safe medical treatment for pain with the only side effect being a possible bruise, which is a rare occurrence.

How does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture Activates the Nervous System which then tells the brain to release pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins.

Acupuncture helps pain in the joints:

Acupuncture can often times relieve the pain and immobility of “trigger finger.”

Read this Patient Testimonial for Trigger Finger Relief!

 

What You Can do to Help

  • Eat a Low inflammation diet
  • Be sure to take in enough water
  • Stay Active with Low impact exercise
  • Quality Fish oil supplement (after checking first with your doctor)
  • Turmeric spice added to diet (after first checking with doctor)
  • Be sure to take in enough water
  • Homemade bone stock or a good quality Glucosamine Chondroitin supplement if too busy (after checking with doctor)

 

I hope you have found this helpful. Thanks for reading!
