Acupuncture for Pain Relief in NW Portland
Pain is the most common reason people try acupuncture. At Alexis Lively Acupuncture, treatment starts with finding the pattern behind the pain, not only the spot that hurts.
What I commonly treat
Back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, jaw tension, shoulder and hip pain, and pain from old injuries.
How treatment works
Depending on what your body needs, a session may include traditional or trigger point acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, or e-stim. Many people notice their nervous system settling during treatment, which is part of how the body lets go of guarding and tension.
What to expect
Your first visit is 75 minutes and includes a full intake. Most people come weekly at first, then space visits out as things improve. Results vary from person to person.
