We are here to support your journey of recovery post surgery.
Acupuncture serves as valuable treatment to support post-surgical healing, particularly in cases where even the smallest blood vessels are compromised at the incision site. Post-surgery acupuncture is an effective approach to helping you get back on a path of health and wellness. Acupuncture aids in inhibiting inflammation, promoting microcirculation in capillary beds, and altering pain perception by encouraging endorphin release and calming the nervous system. These mechanisms contribute to a more effective recovery process after surgery.
How We Can Help Your Recover Post Surgery:
- Pain Management
The recovery period from surgery may involve varying levels of discomfort or pain. Acupuncture is effective in naturally reducing pain by stimulating the release of endorphins. Minimising the need for pain medications.
- Speed Up the Recovery Process
Acupuncture is effective in promoting blood circulation, in which, can expedite the healing process. By increasing the blood circulation, essential nutrients and oxygen are sent over to the area of surgery, facilitating efficient tissue recovery.
- Reducing Inflammation
While inflammation is a normal part of the recovery process, acupuncture can help regulate the body’s inflammatory response. This prevents any extended inflammation that can slow down recovery.
- Support the Immune Function
It is important to maintain a strong immune system throughout recovery, to prevent any infection and help the body heal. Acupuncture can bolster the immune system’s capabilities to promote an easy and healthy recovery.
- Reducing Scarring
As surgery is invasive by nature, the body sustains a certain level of trauma. So scarring and swelling post-op can be quite common. However, acupuncture can effectively stimulate and circulate the formation of collagen, and as a result, help reduce any post-op scarring.
