It is a blight on the pharmaceutical industry as well as our trust in the health care system. The Opioid epidemic destroyed thousands of lives and left a path of hopelessness for those still suffering. In the wake of this epidemic many patients suffering with pain are hesitant to pick up a prescription for fear of such side effects. Without a doubt these drugs can be justified for medical treatments, but there are hundreds of instances when they are not.

Worst of all, we are still in pain!! Fortunately, there is relief. Research shows acupuncture can effectively stimulate the production of the body’s own “endogenous opioid” as well as natural anti-inflammatory compounds, thus the body heal’s itself with no side effects or risks of addiction to synthetic drugs. Traditional herbal formulas are a powerful addition to this arsenal of medicine both topical and ingestible. These are time tested, evidence backed natural health practices and they actually work.

Here at the clinic we add Natural Medicine to the repertoire of healing for musculoskeletal pain.
