Northfield, MN Chiropractor, Dr. Eric Cram Utilizes Acupuncture to Cure Stress and Chronic Pain
Stress is something that everyone lives with, but we all have different ways of dealing with it. In most cases, stress causes negative health effects such as high blood pressure, damage to muscle tissues, damaged immune system and many other negative effects if left untreated. Not many people realize that there are non-substance methods to reducing stress, anxiety or depression. One of the best options available to patients is chiropractic care, more specifically, acupuncture treatment. Dr. Eric Cram uses a number of chiropractic and acupuncture techniques to revive patients and relieve them of the stresses of life. His practice, Cram Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Northfield, MN, offers a wide variety of services including acupuncture.
Dr. Cram is able to provide drug-free, non-invasive treatment for many types of pain and inflammation caused by stress, anxiety or depression. When utilizing acupuncture, Dr. Cram operates under the guidelines of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). According to TCM, energy flows through the body through a network of “pathways”, similar to a highway system. Stress, irritability/anger or any intense emotion acts as a traffic jam, interrupting the flow of energy in the body. Stagnation is the term used in TCM to describe the condition and can cause tension in the muscles in addition to pain or headaches.
Stagnation can be addressed through stimulating specific acupuncture points chosen based on the body condition. Acupuncture works to alleviate stress by releasing endorphins – the natural pain reliever. Acupuncture also improves circulation which helps the detoxification process. The calming nature of acupuncture slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles and lowers blood pressure, all of which are symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.
