Holistic Medicine for Pain, Mobility, and Strength | Big Easy Acupuncture, Metairie LA
A practical, whole-body approach to pain, stress, and function
When most people search for “holistic medicine,” they’re looking for care that treats more than just one symptom. They want someone to look at how their pain, stress, movement, sleep, and health all fit together.
At Big Easy Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in Metairie, “holistic” has a clear meaning. We look at how your muscles, joints, nerves, nervous system, and lifestyle are working together. We then use acupuncture, hands-on work, accountability coaching, and herbal support to help your body and mind function better as a whole.
What Holistic Medicine Means at Big Easy Acupuncture
Here at big easy acupuncture we look the whole body in these ways:
Structure
How you move, your strength, and where tension is held. This leads to which muscles are weak, overworking, or inhibited.
Nerve Pathways
Where nerve irritation, compression, or poor signaling might be affecting strength, sensation, or pain. Acupuncture also helps calm the nervous system to help people feel more relaxed.
Systems
Sleep, stress, digestion, and energy—all of which affect how you heal
Your life
Work demands, activity levels, past injuries, and what you need your body to do day to day
Instead of chasing single symptoms, we look for patterns across all of these areas. continue reading
Why You Should Try Electroacupuncture for Pain Management
For those suffering from chronic pain, traditional medications only provide temporary relief and can come with side effects that leave people feeling sluggish and unwell. Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with electrical stimulation, enhancing its effectiveness for managing pain and promoting healing. By delivering gentle electrical pulses through the acupuncture needles, this modern approach stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, offering a potent and scientifically backed method for pain management. Recent studies underscore the growing recognition of electroacupuncture as a safe and effective therapy for various pain conditions. continue reading
What is Electroacupuncture?
While you might be familiar with what acupuncture is, have you ever heard of electroacupuncture? Just like traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture uses needles on various acupuncture points. The difference comes in that with electroacupuncture, a small electrode is attached to the needles which allows a small amount of electricity to pass through, giving a slight vibration or low hum during treatment.
