After suffering from a serious illness or a traumatic accident it is a common practice
for many people to seek out the services of a chiropractor to help them mend properly and to aid in the recovery processes of healing bones and muscles. Through the use of therapies that are designed to align and straighten the spinal column patients are given greater use of their nerve impulses and circulation that is regulated through the spinal cord. With physical therapy that is designed to restore and rebuild the strength and flexibility of a muscle group and joints people that have been incapacitated are able to regain the motor function and eventually return to a more physical state of health.
While these and other types of services provide people with the outer capacities to function normally there are other treatments available that enhance the healing process and in many instances speed up the recovery time.
In addition to working on relieving stress and tension that is built up and locked inside the muscles and tendons Portland acupuncture specialists are able to release a number of blockages throughout the body that are both of a physical and mental or emotional nature. Using fine point needles that are approximately six inches in length a medical practitioner is able to concentrate on the pressure points in the body and relieve the constraints that are causing tightness and pain within the affected areas of the neck, back, and legs. As each of the major organs and systems are inter linked with one another the release of pressure in one area can lead to a greater result in another vital part of the body.
When used in conjunction with other prescribed treatments, or as a standalone homeopathic medicine acupuncture is known to have a number of healing benefits that aid in the rejuvenation of the heart and circulation of the blood; increases in energy; ease of breathing and respiratory reconditioning; neurological stimulation; and digestive tract healing. As the blood flows throughout the body and feeds each of the vital organs, so too do the receptors regain their ability to connect to the neural pathways and regenerate the natural sense of balance that is apparent inside the core of the physical being.
By melting away the tension and strains that are brought on by stress either emotionally or through a traumatic experience it is possible to evoke greater mending and faster repairs to the injuries that are suffered by people that have been diagnosed with a serious illness or who have been involved in some type of physical injury. Through the eastern practice of acupuncture many westerners are receiving the benefits of a better quality of life and returning to a healthy and vibrant state of consciousness.
