Heartburn And Acid Reflux (GERD) Relief
Heartburn, as opposed to heart attack pain, is mild to severe pain that you feel in your chest due to problems in your digestive system. With heartburn, the acid in your esophagus lining can cause a burning sensation in your chest. This pain might move up to your throat and neck regions, causing severe discomfort that escalates when you are bending over or lying down.
Mild heartburn can be treated with the help of antacid medication. You can also lower the chances of getting heartburn by managing your weight, avoiding smoking, and refraining from eating spicy food. In some instances, heartburn may be a symptom of a more severe illness like acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows into the food pipe and causes irritation in your lining. In addition to heartburn, throat pain, coughing, and bitter taste in the mouth are some other symptoms of acid reflux. When acid reflux happens frequently and leads to inflammation of the esophagus, this is an indication of GERD. As a chronic disease, GERD can cause asthma, chest pain, persistent coughing and other symptoms.
Heartburn and acid reflux treatment: Acupuncture
Symptoms of acid reflux and GERD can negatively impact your daily life. With the help of treatment, you can manage these symptoms and reduce the chances of having chest pain. Acupuncture is a type of treatment that improves regular body functions and natural self-healing by stimulating acupuncture points in the body. Most commonly, thin needles are inserted into your body, and heat, pressure or other forms of stimulation may be applied to enhance the impact.
In an acupuncture treatment, an acupuncturist will inquire about your health history and perform certain physical examinations depending on your body needs. Following assessment, an acupuncturist will recommend the right treatment for you. Research indicates acupuncture’s beneficial effects on the various body systems that reduce pain, enhances sleep, and improves digestive functions.

Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief
Carpal tunnel disorder is perhaps the most commonly observed nerve disease, affecting between 4 to 10 million Americans. Middle-aged and older generations tend to be affected by this syndrome more than younger people. Women are three times more likely than men to have carpal tunnel syndrome.
Your carpal tunnel is located in your wrist on the palm side underneath the surface of your skin. When pressure is applied to your median nerve, it reduces passage of impulses through the nerve. This leads to a feeling of weakness in your hand and loss of hand function.
The symptoms associated with carpal tunnel disorder include burning and numbness in your palm and fingers. You may have difficulty holding things and could experience a shock-like sensation move on your fingers. Your fingers might become numb in the night and the condition could get worse if you are trying to perform an activity with your hand.
Treatment options: Neuromuscular massage therapy
In addition to taking pain medication, neuromuscular massage therapy can help alleviate the pain you experience due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Neuromuscular massage therapy is a type of massage that is performed on individual muscles. By using friction and digital pressure, trigger points causing muscle pain symptoms are released. This improves blood flow and supply of nutrients to your muscles and reduces pain.
Neuromuscular massage therapy is different from deep tissue massage. The latter helps to address muscle aches that occur due to daily stress and is aimed at providing relaxation to a client. On the other hand, neuromuscular massage is a medical treatment where specialized therapy techniques are provided to lessen muscle pain and movement problems. This is achieved by targeting muscle adhesions, connected tissue regions, and trigger points.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is typically caused due to repetitive body movements, pregnancy, and other illnesses like diabetes, obesity, arthritis, etc. Massage can help relieve the symptoms triggering carpal tunnel disorder and offer you relief. Unlike deep tissue massage, neuromuscular massage requires continuous treatment until your pain reduces.

Sinus Problem Treatments
Sinus problems, whether they stem from sinusitis, hay, or even a bad nasal blockage, can leave people feeling unwell. In the human body, the sinuses are found in four areas of the head that are connected to each other.
When a sinus problem develops, one of the most immediate effects people report is a headache. Some people face difficulty breathing, and others report lethargy and a general feeling of being unwell. While the symptoms and causative factors that lead to sinus problems differ from person to person, the end result is the same. The person suffers. Chronic sinus problems can be especially troublesome who experience it.
But can acupuncture help solve this? Let’s look at what a sinus problem indicates first.
What Causes Sinus Problems?
Your sinuses constitute four parts of your face that are interconnected. These are:
- The area of the skull that’s right behind the forehead.
- The eyes.
- The nose.
- The cheeks.
These portions of the face produce mucus that is harmlessly released by the body through the nose. You’ll hardly feel this happen, and its purpose is to remove dirt, bacteria, as well as other foreign irritants from the body.
When your sinuses are working fine, this isn’t a problem. But if your sinuses get clogged up, then the debris that the nose would’ve normally ejected can’t be released. Your sinuses can get blocked for various reasons. Some of these include:
- Sinusitis
- A bad cold
- Allergies
- The development of polyps in the nasal cavity
When the nose can’t effectively discharge the pollutants, this leads to a build-up of pressure. It’s this sensation that causes physical discomfort in people and leads them to look for solutions.
There are some common symptoms associated with problems of the sinus. These include but aren’t limited to:
- Headaches
- Difficulty breathing
- Pain in the sinus
- Fever
- Yellow or green mucus coming out from the nose
- Congestion
How Can Acupuncture Help Heal Sinus Problems?
Clogged sinuses represent an imbalance of the specific areas of the body. As a way to restore the balance, acupuncturists make use of fine needles that address various pressure points. When the needle is removed, the blockage is released and the energy in the body can flow smoothly once again.
People have reported that acupuncture provides immediate relief from sinus-related problems. The most common report is that headaches subside surprisingly fast following an acupuncture session to heal those targeted areas.
Are You Suffering From Sinus Related Issues?
Before your acupuncturist begins their session with you, they’ll ask for details on the history of your sinus condition. After assessing your situation and determining which pressure points need to be addressed to clear your nasal blockages, your acupuncturist will help you heal your sinus problems.
If you live in Columbus, Clintonville, or Westerville in Ohio, why not consider acupuncture as a way to relieve you from your sinus problems? Simply visit or call us at the Urban Acupuncture Centre to book your therapy session, and use acupuncture to heal your sinus and find relief from pain.

Reduce Back Pain With Massage
Lower back pain is an issue that’s very common. People who perform regular exercise and sports training, people who are older and even those who have postural problems can experience it.
Those who work regular 9 to 5 office jobs have to sit at their office chairs for hours on end. This is another scenario that can provoke lower back pain. People who experience lower back pain report discomfort, a tightening of the muscles and limited movement over time.
Is there anything you can do to combat lower back pain? Many people turn to medical practitioners and chiropractors to help resolve lower back pain. While these do provide benefits that improve pain and help people, they aren’t capable of completely alleviating the problem.
The role of neuromuscular massage therapy in alleviating lower back pain
Massage therapy is increasingly becoming popular among the masses. You may have heard about deep tissue massage, sports massage and even the Shiatsu massage. But what about Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?
In this form of massage therapy, the masseur addresses the soft tissues in the body. When the soft tissues in the lower back area and massaged, it immediately helps to alleviate lower back pain. According to the American Academy of Pain Management, Neuromuscular Massage Therapy has the ability to help those who are suffering from severe lower back pain.
What are the benefits of neuromuscular massage therapy?
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is a form of restorative therapy. It can extend the benefits you obtain from medical care and help boost your body’s ability to combat lower back pain.
There are various benefits you can expect from your neuromuscular therapy sessions. These include:
- Pain Relief: The soft tissue massage treatment provides pain relief without the need for pain medications.
- Increased Mobility: When you experience lower back pain, the muscles in the area have already tightened. This causes a decrease in your general flexibility in addition to the pain. Your neuromuscular massage therapy treatment will free up the tensed muscles in your lower back, giving you freer movement.
- Stress Reduction: Consistent lower back pain is also associated with stress. Over time, you risk developing anxiety and even depression owing to the constant pain you’re experiencing. Massage therapies are known to help reduce stress. Neuromuscular massage therapy, in particular, can help you to feel relaxed and remove your stress.
- Increased Serotonin and Dopamine: Serotonin, in particular, can help reduce pain. Aside from being the ‘feel-good’ hormone that helps in mood upliftment, it also helps your body deal with pain more effectively. Your neuromuscular massage therapy session will help increase the levels of serotonin and dopamine in your body. This can in turn help alleviate lower back pain.
- Improved Blood Circulation: Blood circulation is necessary to help your muscles recover from feeling sore. Muscle soreness can often be experienced after hard physical activity. A neuromuscular massage therapy session can make you feel better and improve your body’s ability to heal itself.
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy has many benefits. Aside from alleviating lower back pain, you’ll also leave your therapy session feeling happier, more relaxed, with greater flexibility of movement, and with better immune health. If you live in Columbus, Westerville, or Clintonville in Ohio, why not book a neuromuscular massage therapy session with at Urban Acupuncture Centre? Feel the benefits of neuromuscular massage therapy and find relief from lower back pain with our masseurs.
