After sustaining an injury, the healing process goes through two stages. The first is called the acute stage and is characterized by redness, swelling, inflammation and pain. The second is the chronic stage in which a patient may experience pain only when overusing the injured body part. Noticeable signs of inflammation may be nonexistent or minimal.
In general, acute stages last from a few days to about three weeks, at which point any residual problems and pain are considered to have reached the chronic stage. Physical trauma resulting from accidents, post-operative conditions, labor, disease or other causes requires different treatment for each stage of convalescence.

A getting good night's rest is one of the best pieces of health advice you can follow. But what if sleeping well is a challenge for you? When insomnia persists more than one or two nights and becomes chronic insomnia, most people turn to the use of sleep aids such as Trazadone or Ambien. While these pharmaceuticals can be effective for insomnia, they often develop into dependencies and can cause unwanted side-effects.

This past Monday at Acupuncture Arts I had my first acupuncture experience. I wasn't sure of what to expect so I was a little apprehensive, but the studio was warm and inviting and Dr Marc was thorough in explaining the process and willing to answer all kinds of questions. If you're curious, I highly recommend trying it out for yourself

I didn't feel comfortable using their services due to some uncomfortable rumors and accusations floating around about a certain person in their department. Until these disturbing accusations are resolved I would not recommended this establishment to anyone at this moment. Word of advice! Do your research before allowing yourself to be in any situation with another individual in a confined environment..

I was pleasantly surprised with this small studio in the middle of downtown. Dr. Mark was very knowledgeable, wasn't upset that I got lost and was a bit late, and eased me through my first acupuncture treatment in a long time. Definitely feel different and relaxed, and just good in general. I can't speak for pain relief because I want in for preventative care, but I feel awesome. Bonus.. he introduced me to Meiling, who gave a free intro session to Lomi Lomi massage, and she was so good I immediately made an appointment for both next week!!
