Most of us - including maybe you - have experienced pain due to an injury, surgery, trauma, over overuse... In fact, you may be experiencing pain RIGHT NOW. Pain can be all-consuming. It is exhausting, challenging, depressing, and debilitating. It robs you of passion, happiness, fulfillment, and zest. This is further exacerbated by the fact that as a society, we are pain adverse and will do almost anything not to feel discomfort. And much like we are a “sue happy” society, there are times and instances that we are a “surgery happy” society… but there is a different option. A less invasive option. A more affordable option. A more “holistic” option. And that option, for lack of a better term, is Alternative Medicine. This includes acupuncture, cupping, electro-acupuncture, scraping, herbal medicine, and topicals such as Wei Labs’ WHITEE PATCH.
Acupuncture is an incredibly powerful, successful, and healing treatment modality. It uses tiny needles in specific and effective locations both on the meridian or channel and in local trigger points and the site of injury. At JADA Studios, acupuncture returns the functionality to the body at the site of injury, discomfort, disharmony, and pain. It doesn’t just mask the pain, IT HEALS IT! Acupuncture works with the body to return function, reduce pain, and heal the tissue. Honestly, is there a better option out there? I think not! It is fast, effective, affordable, and accessible. There is awareness with the needling, but most describe it as a sensation in the area that they want to be healed. It is often a sensation that mirrors their pain that brought them in. It is a trigger and then a release of the affected area. It is a reassuring feeling for sure!
Treating Pain at JADA Studios
The JADA team also uses guasha or scraping, electro-acupuncture, cupping, and herbal formulas to help mend and heal the injury or painful body part. Guasha is like an intense foam roller session. The idea is to cause micro-injury to an area, eliciting a healing response from the body such as increased blood flow and rebuilding of the tissue. I usually use electro-acupuncture as a souped-up version of acupuncture. The frequency is set similarly to the frequency the body uses to heal and can keep the mind focused on the area that needs to be rehabilitated. It isn’t painful or even uncomfortable. It is set to the patient’s tolerance and the patient actually chooses the intensity. I recommend it being around a 3/10 where 8/10 would be painful. It is just a little vibration or “butterfly kiss” as I like to refer to it.
Cupping is an amazing option for soft tissue dysfunction. The “sha” or bruising left behind is the body releasing pent-up toxins and energy in the area. The darker the mark, the more necessary the cupping was. I liken cupping to a deep and soothing breath. As the opposite of a deep tissue massage, it opens the tissue by separating the individual layers, bathing them in blood and energy, and releasing toxins and adhesions. Herbal formulas can be incredibly helpful as well. They continue working when you are at home, keeping the treatment rolling down the track, helping further balance the imbalances, and restore function!
