Chronic conditions like Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) and Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) can significantly affect your quality of life, causing constant pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Valley Acupuncture & Wellness, we understand how debilitating these conditions can be, and we offer holistic, non-invasive therapies that can provide both relief and healing. Two of the most powerful tools in our wellness arsenal are acupuncture and Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM), which work together to address pain at its root, promote tissue healing, and restore balance to the body.
Understanding DDD and DJD
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) occurs when the discs in the spine begin to wear down over time, losing their cushioning and leading to pain, discomfort, and sometimes nerve impingement. Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), or osteoarthritis, is the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the joints, which causes inflammation, pain, and limited mobility in areas like the knees, hips, and hands. Both conditions are progressive and can worsen with age, but they can be effectively managed with holistic treatments.
How Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers—helping to reduce pain in both the joints and spine. Additionally, acupuncture improves blood circulation to the affected areas, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation. For conditions like DDD and DJD, acupuncture can target specific areas of discomfort, reducing the pain associated with disc degeneration or joint deterioration, while also helping to improve overall flexibility and mobility.
One of the key benefits of acupuncture is its ability to address not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of pain. For DDD, acupuncture can help relax muscles surrounding the spine, relieving tension that might be exacerbating the condition. For DJD, acupuncture works to improve circulation to the joints, promoting the repair of damaged tissues and reducing stiffness. Many patients experience significant improvements after just a few sessions, and regular treatments can prevent the progression of these degenerative conditions.
The Power of Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy takes healing to the next level by using low-level electrical currents to stimulate tissue repair at the cellular level. FSM is especially effective for degenerative conditions like DDD and DJD because it targets the specific frequencies of the damaged tissues, promoting healing deep within the muscles, discs, and joints. The gentle microcurrents help increase cellular energy (ATP), reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow, all of which are essential for repairing tissues affected by degeneration.
For patients with DDD, FSM can help alleviate the pressure on spinal nerves by promoting disc healing and reducing inflammation around the affected vertebrae. For DJD, FSM supports joint health by regenerating cartilage, relieving pain, and improving flexibility. This non-invasive therapy is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring that you get the most effective care possible.
The Combined Power of Acupuncture and FSM
At Valley Acupuncture & Wellness, we believe in a holistic approach to healing, and that’s why we often combine acupuncture and FSM to treat conditions like DDD and DJD. While acupuncture works to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote balance in the body, FSM dives deeper, accelerating the healing process at a cellular level and at the source. Together, these therapies provide a comprehensive solution for managing chronic pain, improving joint function, and enhancing overall well-being.
By integrating these treatments, our patients experience not only immediate pain relief but also long-term healing. Regular sessions can prevent the degeneration from progressing further, allowing you to maintain mobility and lead a pain-free life. Whether you’re struggling with back pain due to DDD or joint discomfort from DJD, our combination of acupuncture and FSM offers a non-surgical, drug-free solution that works with your body’s natural healing abilities. In fact, many times we find things like sciatica, general back and neck pain, and other types of pain are actually coming from the spine itself. We treat DDD and DJD quite a bit in the office.
