Acupuncture Services at Sage Wellness Center
Sage Acupuncture | Acupuncture in Orlando & Sanford, FL
Acupuncture is a time-tested, complementary medical practice that stimulates specific points on the body to promote healing, alleviate pain, and restore balance. At Sage Wellness Center, we combine traditional acupuncture techniques with modern diagnostic methods, including pulse analysis, tongue inspection, and orthopedic testing. These assessments help us customize treatment plans for each patient, addressing a variety of conditions effectively.
What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session
How Long Does a Treatment Take?
The duration of acupuncture treatment depends on the complexity and severity of the condition being treated. Generally, the insertion of needles takes about 15 minutes, while the entire session lasts 45-60 minutes.
- Acute Conditions: May resolve within a week or a few sessions.
- Chronic Conditions: Typically require 8 weeks of consistent treatment for noticeable improvement.
At Sage Wellness Center, we aim to deliver lasting results and help you achieve full health.
How Do We Start a Treatment?
Acupuncture involves the use of ultra-thin, sterilized, and pre-packaged needles to ensure safety and minimize discomfort. Each needle is disposed of immediately after use to eliminate any risk of infection.
Unlike other acupuncture clinics in Orlando and Sanford, Sage Wellness Center tailors each treatment program to your specific needs. Depending on your condition, we may combine acupuncture with complementary therapies such as:
- Cupping Therapy
- Electrical Point Stimulation
- Scraping Therapy (Gua Sha)
- Chinese Herbal Medicine
Our goal is to stimulate healing sensations such as relief from numbness, pain, swelling, and tingling by customizing the treatment approach for optimal outcomes.
Theories Guiding Our Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture has a rich history supported by various theories. At Sage Wellness Center, we utilize these principles to ensure effective treatment:
- Meridian Theory: Focuses on balancing the liver, nervous system, and energy pathways in the body.
- Gate Control Theory of Pain: Relieves pain by releasing the body’s natural painkillers, known as endogenous opioid neurohormones.
- Neurohormonal Theory: Addresses pain transmission in key areas of the brain, including the thalamus and periaqueductal regions.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of health concerns. Commonly treated conditions include:
- Pain Relief: Back pain, migraines, headaches, tennis elbow, and low back pain.
- Mental Health: Depression and stress relief.
- Digestive Support: Nausea and abdominal discomfort.
- Women’s Health: Induction of labor and support for infertility.
- Neurological Support: Stroke recovery, facial spasm, and insomnia.
While acupuncture shows significant results in many conditions, some diseases like obesity, cancer pain, and earaches may show limited improvement depending on individual responses.
