Pain

Being in chronic pain can come to be a life focus that is often exhausting and frustrating. One of the most amazing things about acupuncture for pain is that you usually feel better almost immediately. And, with a holistic, consistent and well-followed plan of therapy, the source of the pain can be addressed, adjusted, and repaired. By addressing the root of the pain, my goal is to help you move towards long-term relief from pain.

I have had success in treating many types of injuries and pain, including:

  • Knee Pain
  • Low Back Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Muscle Weakness, Pain, and Cramping
  • Muscle Strains and Sprains
  • Neck Stiffness/Pain
  • Whiplash
  • TMJ
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Plantar Fascitis
  • Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
  • Sports Performance and Mental Focus Enhancement
  • Tendonitis/ Bursitis
  • Tennis Elbow

Acupuncture and Pain

Oriental medicine recognizes the power of Qi (pronounced “chee”) – a vital life energy that flows through all living things – as one of the vital cornerstones of health. The unimpeded flow of Qi through an organism constantly provides the nourishment of that energy to all parts of the body. When that flow becomes blocked or tangled it causes imbalance, which often appears in the body as pain.

Acupuncture is a method of restoring and preserving the natural flow of Qi in the body. By inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points in the body – points identified over 1000 years ago – blockages can be re-routed, untangled and freed, and the vital Qi can begin to once again nourish the afflicted parts of the body. Once the initial cause of the pain is corrected, the body naturally begins to heal on much deeper levels, which can eventually solve the root problem of chronic pain for good.

Homeopathy and Pain

Homeopathic remedies can be incredibly effective in treating the side effects of injury and chronic pain. Treating pain with homeopathy can have long-term benefit since it often works beyond simple pain management and positively affects the clinical outcome of many disorders which are the source of the pain. I have witnessed homeopathic remedies’ ability to modulate pain and to greatly increase the healing time of injuries, whether chronic or acute.

Of all of the people in my life, I feel most seen and supported by Elizabeth. She listens to, intuits, and understands her clients at a very deep spiritual, physical, as well as psychological level.  Elizabeth has supported me in listening to and following my own intuition and inner knowing, and has helped me become more whole, present and well. Her work is powerful, profoundly helpful, and healing. She has had extensive training in many different healing modalities, as well as meditation and spiritual study, and she brings all of this experience to her patients and teachings in very accessible ways.  She is a very grounded, down to earth and relatable human who practices and implements all of the techniques she uses to support her clients in her roles as a powerful healer, spiritual teacher and mother.  Elizabeth has been my primary support for recovering from multiple chronic physical issues, as well as through divorce and family of origin issues, and has helped me learn how to better ground and nourish myself in all my roles at home and at work. She nourishes my psychological and spiritual growth and continues to support my life in many profound and unexpected ways. I consider Elizabeth to be one of my greatest teachers.
