Health & Wellness The mind and the body are linked which is oſten seen with symptoms of pain. Migraines, an upset or “nervous” stomach, anxiety, shortness of breath, chest pressure, muscle soreness, chronic pain, or even substance abuse are oſten tied to stress points in the mind and body. e good news: You can feel better with the right tools. One of the tools to help relieve these symptoms is acupuncture. Our new colleague, Rick Jahn, D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine) treats physiological imbalances by releasing energetic blockages from your body. e most frequently asked question about acupuncture is, “Do the acupuncture needles hurt?” No. ese “needles” which are used to stimulate the key points in the body are nothing like needles you may have felt before. ese highly sterile instruments are solid core, single use, and the tips are rounded. Many people feel entirely relaxed aſter treatment and it is common for people to fall asleep during treatment. Rick’s expertise facilitates the body in restoring itself naturally. Acupuncture is particularly effective for managing pain and also for releasing emotional energy that may be behind weight-gain and other addictions. We also have an experienced clinician who focuses on the mind’s influence over pain in the body. Mark Fitzpatrick specializes in alleviating symptoms of stress through the use of therapeutic stress reduction techniques with treatments like progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). When experiencing PMR, a person learns to mentally and physically distinguish between the sensations of tension and relaxation by focusing on different muscle groups and contracting/releasing in a specific order. In many cases, participant’s report their tension feels like it’s physically draining away from their body! Another effective strategy is guided breath control. Having a professional talk you through breathing skills can help calm your mind and can effectively help a person focus better, sleep better, control anger, and generally be less anxious or tired. Long-term results from continued treatment might even be witnessed by your doctor in the form of lowered blood pressure, clearer skin, more energy, or less observable distress. Mark also offers direction in changing negative thoughts, managing worry, increasing self-esteem, and developing positive coping skills. Acupuncture with Rick or stress reduction counseling with Mark is currently available by individual appointment.
