At Jo Whitsell Acupuncture, patients can expect a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and concerns. Jo utilizes several styles of acupuncture including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Alchemical & Trigger Point techniques to provide effective relief for a wide range of conditions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient system of healing that has been used for thousands of years to treat various ailments. It involves the use of thin needles inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow or Qi (pronounced "chee"). By balancing the Qi flow throughout the body, TCM can help alleviate pain, reduce stress levels, improve digestion and boost overall immunity.
Alchemical & Trigger Point acupuncture are more modern approaches that focus on releasing tension in specific muscles or trigger points. This technique involves inserting needles into tight knots or areas where muscle fibers have become stuck together due to injury or chronic stress. By releasing these knots, blood flow is increased which helps reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Jo's expertise in both TCM and Alchemical & Trigger Point acupuncture allows her to create customized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. She also offers other complementary therapies such as cupping therapy which uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood flow and relieve muscle tension.
In addition to treating physical ailments such as back pain or migraines, Jo also specializes in treating emotional imbalances such as anxiety or depression. She believes that emotional health is just as important as physical health when it comes to achieving overall wellness.
At Jo Whitsell Acupuncture, patients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable discussing their health concerns. Jo takes the time to listen to each patient's story and works with them to create a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle and goals.
