Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points that correspond to your pain patterns, releasing endorphins and improving blood flow to affected areas. Dr. Shi treats various back pain conditions including herniated discs, muscle strain, sciatica, and arthritis-related pain. Each session involves precise needle placement along meridians that govern the spine and supporting muscles. The treatment helps reset your nervous system's pain response while encouraging tissue repair. Most patients experience significant improvement within 6-8 sessions, with many achieving long-term relief.
What to Expect at Gang Shi Acupuncture
Your first visit begins with a detailed assessment of your pain history, triggers, and movement patterns. Dr. Shi will examine your posture and may perform orthopedic tests to understand your condition fully. Needles are placed along your back, legs, and sometimes arms or head, depending on your pain pattern. You'll rest for 20-30 minutes as the treatment works. Many patients find the experience surprisingly relaxing, and some notice immediate relief upon standing.
