Acupuncture & Massage: The Easiest Way to Numb Pain and Get Relaxed

Feeling the aches and pains of everyday life? Do sore muscles and creaky joints make it hard to enjoy all that Brooklyn has to offer? Well, the healing power of ancient arts like acupuncture and massage can help relieve what’s ailing you at Bonafide Acupuncture & Herbs.

Massage

Bonafide specializes in treatments based on Traditional Chinese Medicine to get your energy flowing correctly and restore balance, whether you’re dealing with knee pain, digestion issues, infertility, anxiety, and more. Licensed acupuncturists on staff use techniques like Korean Five Element and Abdominal Acupuncture tailored to each patient’s needs. Just a few tiny needles can work wonders to unblock your qi!

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Knee Pain Relief in Brooklyn

Knee pain is one of the most common orthopedic issues faced by Americans. Knee discomfort can interfere significantly with daily activities and quality of life, whether due to injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modalities like acupuncture and herbal formulas offer relieving alternatives to manage knee pain.

Massage

At Bonafide Acupuncture & Herbs in Brooklyn, our licensed acupuncturists specialize in treating knee conditions using Classical Chinese Acupuncture techniques. By inserting ultra-fine needles into specific meridian points, we can regulate the flow of qi energy and fix energy blockages that cause pain. Clinical studies have found acupuncture helps reduce osteoarthritis symptoms and speed up the knee’s post-surgical recovery.

For long-term care, acupuncture is combined with customized herbal prescriptions tailored to each patient’s constitution. Together, they can lubricate joints, relieve inflammation, strengthen tendons and ligaments, and rebuild cartilage for robust and durable healing. Integrating acupuncture treatments also encourages positive lifestyle changes like massage therapy and proper knee exercises for prevention.

Medical Massage and Trigger Point Therapy in Brooklyn

 

While acupuncture treats the root cause, therapeutic massage soothes sore muscles and speeds up the post-treatment recovery. Bonafide Acupuncture’s massage therapists are trained in orthopedic Trigger Point Therapy to identify and release “knots” in overworked knee muscles. Matched with Deep Tissue strokes, this technique provides immediate tension relief.

Our Medical Massage seamlessly pairs with regenerative therapies like prolotherapy or PRP injections administered by our on-site physician or partner pain management clinics in Brooklyn. It aids in dispersing active ingredients to injury sites for accelerated mending of damaged tissues like tendons or ligaments.

Classical Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

Bonafide Acupuncture utilizes Classical Chinese Acupuncture, the original form that has proven effective for millennia. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, it aims to restore the Yin-Yang balance and smooth flow of life force ‘qi’ in the meridian pathways. Any disruption due to internal/external factors causes disharmony, resulting in ‘patterns of disharmony’ manifested as health issues.

Massage

Our specialized classical techniques, like Korean Five Element and Japanese-style abdominal acupuncture, target the root meridian systems relating to knee dysfunction. By inserting ultra-fine sterilized needles and applying correct manipulation, we can treat various patterns from joint bi syndromes to water-dampness accumulation.

This integrative methodology evaluates each patient’s unique constitutional makeup and designs a tailored treatment plan using acupuncture, herbal formulas like Joint Movement Elixir, guasha, and lifestyle recommendations. With time, patients gain sustainable relief and rebuild resilience against flare-ups.
