Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture for pain relief
Pain is rarely just pain. It is often inflammation, muscle guarding, joint restriction, or an irritated nervous system all at once.
Acupuncture may help with several of these together: releasing tight muscles, supporting circulation to injured tissue, and calming irritated nerves.
It is commonly used here for neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, shoulder and knee pain, TMJ, posture-related strain, and pregnancy-related discomfort. Many patients notice a change within the first few sessions.
Acupuncture and Chiropractic
Chiropractic restores motion to joints, while acupuncture supports the muscles, circulation, and nervous system around them. When used together, each treatment enhances the other — relaxed muscles are easier to adjust, and well‑moving joints reduce strain on surrounding tissues.
Because Dr. Eileen Denny is both a chiropractor and a Diplomate in Acupuncture, you don’t have to coordinate two separate offices. She works with you to decide when chiropractic, acupuncture, or a combination will give you the best results.
What a treatment may include
Every plan is personal. These are the tools Dr. Denny draws on.
Acupuncture. Fine, sterile needles at specific points to ease tension, support circulation, and calm irritated nerves.
Gua sha. A smooth tool stroked over the skin to ease tight, guarded muscle. Used as appropriate.
Gentle mobility recommendations. Simple movement you can do at home to support what happens on the table.
Coordination with chiropractic care. When helpful, acupuncture and adjustments are combined in one plan.
