Emotional/Psychological Disorders
Holistic Medicine for Pain, Mobility, and Strength in 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

Fortunately, we live in a time where help is available. Since acupuncture subscribes to the whole mind/body/spirit healing approach to balancing energy and achieving complete wellness, it makes sense that acupuncture could be a helpful tool to treating various forms of trauma and its impact on both the mind and body. continue reading
