natural pain Management

Tired of that nagging pain that just won’t go away? Trying to avoid side effects of shots and prevent dependence on prescription painkillers.  Expecting an alternative treatment that reduces your pain? Fear not, Dr. Zhou has a true pain relief solution to unlock your body self-healing ability.

Why acupuncture is natural pain reliever?

Current Pain management techniques include pain prescriptions and injections, which are neither target the pain area of the body nor work to promote the body’s ability to self-heal. It is not a solution for long-term relief and causes dependence on these medicines to feel any relief. 

Unlike the western approach, acupuncture focuses on pinpointing the pain area and triggering the body’s natural pain response system. Acupuncture stimulates the nerve nodes, concentrated areas of nerves, to signal the brain to release endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer, to the pain area. This signal also restores blood flow and increases the range of motion of the affected region. Acupuncture is most effective when it is provided on an on-going basis, until the body re-establishes its normal functioning of the nerve pathways throughout the body.

Why our natural pain management is true pain relief?

  Dr. Gangpei Zhou at International Wellness Center takes the healing effects of acupuncture to the next level. He follows the traditional acupuncture teachings and incorporates the use of moxibustion. Moxibustion enhances the signal to the brain to send endorphins to a specific area through heat from smoldering herbs, which provides the patient with increased pain relief. 

After treatment, Dr. Zhou will apply his signature herbal patch, which he has perfected of the past 30 years, to the afflicted area to promote anti-inflammation in the region between treatments. Last but most important, Dr. Zhou will coach you with targeted exercise for long-term maintenance.

Once the treatments have been completed, the patient will not only be pain free, but their circulation will have improved, which is important as circulation is a necessary component in maintaining good health.
