Pain can significantly impact one’s quality of life, limiting physical activity, disrupting sleep, and affecting overall well-being.
While conventional treatments such as medications or invasive procedures are common, natural and effective options like Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT) and traditional acupuncture are gaining recognition for their ability to provide relief. At Lambert Wellness, Dr. Mary, a board-certified acupuncturist and doctor of Oriental medicine, specializes in musculoskeletal disorders, offering a unique approach to pain management that combines modern techniques with ancient healing practices.
What is Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy?
Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT) enhances traditional acupuncture by incorporating natural substances like ultra high dilution medicines, saline, vitamins, or Chinese herbal extracts. These substances are injected into specific acupuncture points, stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms while targeting areas of pain and dysfunction.
APIT works particularly well for:
. Muscle tension and spasms
. Joint pain
. Tendonitis
. Sports injuries
. Chronic pain conditions, such as sciatica and fibromyalgia
The therapy is minimally invasive and is known for providing long-lasting relief by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and improving blood flow to affected areas.
Acupuncture for Pain Management
Traditional acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat pain naturally. By inserting thin, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, this technique stimulates the body’s nervous system, releasing endorphins (natural painkillers) and increasing blood circulation.
Clinical research supports acupuncture as an effective treatment for various pain conditions:
1. Lower Back Pain: A large-scale study published in Archives of Internal Medicine showed that acupuncture is more effective for chronic back pain compared to standard treatments like medications or physical therapy.
2. Osteoarthritis: Research in The Journal of Pain found that acupuncture reduces pain and improves function for individuals with knee osteoarthritis, making it an excellent alternative to medications.
3. Neck and Shoulder Pain: A clinical trial in Pain Medicine revealed that acupuncture significantly relieves tension and muscle tightness, particularly in patients with chronic neck and shoulder pain.
These results highlight acupuncture as a powerful tool for managing pain naturally, without the potential side effects of medications.
Dr. Mary’s Expertise in Musculoskeletal Disorders
As a specialist in musculoskeletal disorders, Dr. Mary combines acupuncture and APIT to create tailored treatment plans that address the root causes of pain. Musculoskeletal conditions often result from injuries, repetitive strain, poor posture, or chronic inflammation. Common conditions she treats include:
. Sciatica: Acupuncture reduces nerve pain and muscle spasms that can result from sciatic nerve irritation.
. Tendonitis: APIT helps repair damaged tissue and reduces inflammation in the tendons, improving mobility.
. Sports Injuries: Dr. Mary works with athletes to accelerate recovery and prevent long-term complications.
Her integrative approach targets pain while improving range of motion, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall healing. Patients often experience noticeable relief almost immmediately, with continued improvement over time.
Why Choose Acupuncture and APIT?
Unlike conventional treatments that often focus solely on symptom relief, acupuncture and APIT address the underlying causes of pain. These therapies are:
. Natural and drug-free
. Safe with minimal side effects
. Effective for chronic and acute pain
. Focused on long-term healing
Additionally, acupuncture can enhance other treatments, making it an excellent complementary therapy for individuals undergoing physical therapy, chiropractic care, or post-surgical recovery.
