low back pain relief with chiropractic care

When you visit an acupuncturist in Naperville IL, you may have concerns about the possible impact on your health. Generally, acupuncture offers positive benefits that help improve your health and address the underlying factors that contribute to your discomfort. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we offer the care you need to address your health concerns.


Acupuncture for Fertility in Naperville IL

Acupuncture for fertility in Naperville IL focuses on improving your health and specifically helps with certain underlying causes of infertility. Generally, an acupuncturist evaluates the needs of a woman and then recommends a strategy based on her situation.

The treatment improves blood flow and addresses certain health complications that may contribute to or cause infertility, such as a thyroid that does not function properly or poor circulation to certain areas of the body. While the treatment does not address every cause of infertility, it does help with many underlying factors.


Addressing Painful Menstruation

Painful menstruation impacts many women each month. The cramping can worsen over time and may even cause back pain or discomfort in other areas. When a woman has painful menstruation, she may benefit from acupuncture treatments. The treatments help by improving blood flow to the area, which helps relax the muscles and reduces the amount of cramping.


Acupuncture and Pregnancy or Post-Natal Care

During pregnancy or shortly after giving birth, a woman may experience back pain and other discomforts. By addressing the pain with appropriate treatments, you avoid complications associated with taking pain medications. Generally, acupuncture is safe for a pregnant woman and it helps with discomforts throughout the pregnancy. It also improves blood flow to the uterus, which may improve the health of the mother and unborn child. Always discuss a pregnancy and your discomforts with an acupuncturist before starting the treatment to ensure proper measures are taken for your health.


Acupuncture for Anxiety and Depression

Acupuncture for anxiety addresses a key factor contributing to the uncomfortable emotional responses. It reduces the stress you feel in your daily life, which helps reduce the feelings of dread or panic that may interfere with your activities. The treatments encourage your blood to flow properly throughout your body and help encourage relaxation. As a result, you will notice lower rates of anxiety over time as you have lower levels of cortisol, or the stress hormone, in your body.

The treatment may also have a positive impact on feelings of depression by addressing specific factors that contribute to the uncomfortable feelings of sadness. It reduces stress and helps encourage the flow of blood throughout specific areas of your body. As a result, your body functions improve and you may notice a gradual reduction of depression or anxiety over time.


Improving Digestive Health

Digestive health is a complex part of your body. When you notice pain in specific areas of your stomach, you develop nausea or heartburn, it may stem from a digestive health concern. Acupuncture treatments help with digestive health by addressing specific underlying factors that may contribute to your discomfort. During a visit with an acupuncturist, you may need to explain your health concerns and the symptoms you experience. Your health history helps an acupuncturist determine the cause of your discomfort and then develop a personalized treatment plan.

The treatments help reduce inflammation in your system, encourage proper function throughout the digestive system and improve circulation. By improving your circulation, your internal organs have more oxygen and eliminate waste more effectively, which may help in certain situations.


Acne Management

Acne is a problem that impacts teenagers and adults throughout the world. When you have persistent acne, you may benefit from acupuncture treatments. The treatments focus on addressing the underlying causes of your acne and treating the situation. We use acupuncture to help encourage blood flow to your skin while herbal remedies and slight changes to your lifestyle and diet may further improve the success of treatment.


Losing Weight

When you want to lose weight, you start at the foundation. Although acupuncture is not the only tool you need to lose weight, it is a powerful way to enhance and improve your results. When you obtain the treatments while exercising and changing your dietary habits, you lose weight at a faster rate. It helps by improving the function of your body and addressing internal complications with your organs that may contribute to weight gain.


Addressing Back and Neck Pain

Acupuncture for back pain and neck pain is a common treatment process. The treatment addresses the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort and improves the function of the nerves in your back and neck. By improving circulation to the back, you encourage natural healing and reduce inflammation over time.


The benefits of acupuncture are extremely wide ranging. Acupuncture can increase your wellbeing within just a few visits, and can often fix issues that Western medicine has been unable to address through traditional doctor visits or pharmaceuticals. It can either work as a supplement to other medical solutions, or in some cases, replace them entirely for a much more natural approach to health.

The risks of acupuncture are extremely small. The most common side effect is that you may feel a little sore. While technically there is a chance of puncturing an internal organ or getting infection, this risk is so small that it almost never occurs. We have never experienced this is our practice.

Acupuncture helps with many conditions, including:

  • Calming over-excitable nerves and soothing stress
  • Healing insomnia and treating mental health issues
  • Increasing range of motion and decreasing pain
  • Improving digestion and healing internal organs
  • Aligning bodily systems

No. It’s possible that you might feel a prick equivalent to a little cat scratch, or a small “zing” as the needle goes in, but acupuncture is never painful in the way a shot or a blood draw is. Afterwards, as mentioned, you may be slightly sore, but again it will not hurt.

Most sessions last roughly an hour. This is enough time to talk to the acupuncturist, for them to insert the needles, to leave them in for about 20-30 minutes to take effect, and to remove them.

The number of treatments varies depending on the condition. For chronic pain, you may benefit from a lifetime treatment plan. For acute illnesses and injuries, a few treatments often do the trick.
