Knee Pain
Are you tired of knee pain holding you back from the activities you love? Whether it's jogging in the park, playing with your kids, or simply getting through a normal day without discomfort, knee pain can be a real hurdle. At The Point, we offer a remarkable solution that goes beyond conventional treatments like pain medication or knee braces. We use specialized acupuncture techniques focusing on what we call 'distal points,' which are actually located far away from your knee—like in your hands or feet. Think of it as remote control for pain relief! By inserting ultra-fine needles into these specific points, we can effectively activate your body's own healing powers, often resulting in immediate relief and facilitating long-term recovery. Imagine being able to climb stairs, take a walk, or even go for a run, all without the nagging knee pain that's been slowing you down. With this non-invasive approach, that possibility can become your reality.
Curious about the nitty-gritty of how we tackle knee pain? When you come in for your appointment at The Point, the first step is a comprehensive one-on-one consultation to understand the specific nature of your knee pain. This helps us tailor the treatment to your individual needs. After you're settled into a comfortable recliner in our serene community acupuncture space, the real magic begins. Our skilled acupuncturist identifies the distal points on your body—these are the strategic areas, often on your hands, feet, or legs, which can remotely influence the pain in your knee. Once these points are determined, ultra-fine needles are gently inserted. The insertion is typically pain-free; in fact, most patients report feeling a warm or tingling sensation, which is a sign that the body's healing process has been activated. The needles stay in place for about 20 to 30 minutes while you relax, often alongside other community members who are also experiencing the healing benefits of acupuncture for various ailments. Many of our patients feel significant relief during their very first session and find that these benefits are not just immediate but also long-lasting. It's a truly personalized, non-invasive way to address knee pain, all while benefiting from the collective healing energy of a community setting
