Plan
The Right Approach May Be a Combination
These therapies don’t necessarily represent three separate choices. Depending on your needs, Machelle may recommend one approach or incorporate more than one technique during a course of care.
Your treatment can evolve according to your symptoms, comfort and response.The objective is not to fit you into a predefined protocol, but to select the approach that makes sense for you.
Personalized Pain Management in Seminole, Florida
A Different Approach to Pain Relief
Pain can affect far more than one part of your body. It can change the way you move, sleep, work, exercise and enjoy everyday life.
At NaturalMED Therapies, Machelle Perkins, AP, Dipl. Ac. takes an individualized approach to pain management, combining more than 25 years of acupuncture experience with specialized techniques and modern therapeutic technologies.
Depending on your symptoms, health history and goals, your treatment plan may include traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture, Battlefield Acupuncture, MPS Dolphin Therapy or other supportive therapies.
The goal is not simply to focus on where it hurts, but to understand the pattern of your pain and select the treatment approach that best fits your individual needs.
Pain Is Personal. Your Treatment Should Be Too.
Two patients with similar pain may have very different underlying circumstances.
An old sports injury may behave differently from recurring neck tension. Chronic lower-back pain requires a different assessment from a recent flare-up. Headaches, joint discomfort and muscle pain can each present their own patterns.
That is why Machelle begins with the patient rather than a standard protocol.
Your consultation may consider:
- Where the pain is located and how long it has been present
- Whether symptoms are acute, recurring or chronic
- Previous injuries, surgeries or treatments
- Activities or movements that make symptoms better or worse
- Your general health and current medical care
- How pain affects your mobility, sleep and daily activities
From there, this Acupuncture Physician can determine which therapies may be appropriate and whether they should be used individually or in combination with other care you are receiving.
