Fibromyalgia – Don’t Live with Pain a Moment Longer
Did You Know?… Fibromyalgia is very difficult to treat with traditional western medicine.
With acupuncture, however, we have over a 90% success rate in treating fibromyalgia and reducing the intensity and frequency of pain by 70-90%. Fibromyalgia is usually diagnosed by your physician, using a specific set of very sore trigger points, very commonly on the torso and arms, that are usually worsened by stretching and self-massage, only to become seemingly worse with each attempt by the patient to ease their own discomfort.
Indeed, fibromyalgia can make one feel absolutely hopeless, as though nothing will take the pain away. It is painful to the point that quality of life is impaired significantly, function is sometimes compromised due to pain, and often the only solution provided is pain medication, which unfortunately does not always help.
Now there is hope. Cloud 9 Acupuncture has a winning combination of treatments that aide in providing long-lasting relief of fibromyalgia, often getting to the root cause of the condition and reversing the condition using advanced therapies to include acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy, and O3 Regenerative Therapy, with therapies that also target improving the overall immune response.
The first step is to call for a consultation to assess your unique fibromyalgia condition to properly design a treatment plan that will be successful in getting your life back, without pain.
PEMF Now at Cloud 9
You’ll notice our new Rainbow Infrared PEMF Mat that treats Pain!
The PEMF Mat may be added to your acupuncture session at No Additional Charge *based on availability.*
PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic fields. To your body, PEMF functions at a cellular level, enhancing your body’s overall functioning. The process of receiving PEMF involves sending energy waves towards pained areas of the body. The waves pass through completely and increase the spin of the electrons.
As a result, wellness levels are improved and the body may function more efficiently.

Here’s what one of our happy patients said about the Rainbow Infrared PEMF Mat:
“I loved it. It was deeply relaxing, I felt like I just spent a week at the beach laying on the sand near the ocean without getting sand everywhere. I felt deeply restorative rest, like a vacation! I usually run cold and felt warm and energized the rest of the day and sleep really well that night. My muscles were looser and limber and made me feel like my body was younger than it actually is. I can’t wait to try it again soon!” -Happy Patient
Enjoy the Rainbow Infrared PEMF Mat for Free during your acupuncture session at Cloud 9 today!

Did you know? Acupuncture can help Osteoporosis!
By Bradley Stiles, L.Ac.
Do you suffer from Postmenopausal Osteoporosis? Acupuncture can help!
In a recent study acupuncture with moxibustion has been shown to outperform a supplementation of calcium added into the diet. The study used three groups, a calcium supplement control group, an electro-stim acupuncture group, and an acupuncture and moxibustion group. If you are not familiar with electro-stim, it is exactly what it sounds like. Acupuncture is applied and then an e-stim machine is attached to the needles and applies electrical current through the needles. Moxibustion is the burning of the herb mugwort, also known as Moxa, at the location of an acupuncture point. Warm needle acupuncture is moxa applied to the needle so that the needle itself is warmed up.
Receiving treatment once a day for 30 days, data was gathered on visual analog scale pain scores. Additional data was logged in the form of the biomarkers serum insulin growth factors (IGF-1), serum interleukin 6 (IL6), and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-A). Acupuncture points that were chosen were BL 11, BL 23, and GB 39 and were “proven to produce subjective and objective results” through the study.
If you are interested in knowing more information or the specific details of the study please read the study itself which can be found below.
If you suffer from postmenopausal osteoporosis and are interested in getting acupuncture please schedule an appointment with us, the link can be found in the header at the top of the page!

How Acupuncture Can Help You with Your Chronic Pain
By Bradley Stiles, L.Ac.
Can acupuncture help you with your chronic pain?
YES!
The National Institute of Health (NIH) believes so saying “Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider. “
When I started writing this blog post there were over 700 studies on the relationship between acupuncture and chronic pain on PubMed (short for Public Medical Database, an online resource that complies verified scientific data on all different kinds of research experiments). This positive relationship is well documented and well known. The science behind acupuncture and its reductive effect on pain is one of the reasons most insurances cover acupuncture today. (Thank Goodness!) New scientific research is coming out all of the time!
It is even being used in many hospitals and even in some Emergency Rooms/departments. Below I’ve linked two studies that have shown positive changes that were statistically significant in Pain management outcomes through the use of acupuncture. This means that acupuncture performed better than a placebo effect. Please read the studies below if your interested in knowing more.
With the current opioid epidemic if you know someone that is interested in coming off of their pain meds we at Cloud 9 would love to work together with their doctor to manage the patient’s pain levels with the goal of their doctor either suggesting a reduction in their amount of medication or (with physician supervision and approval) the patient is able to come off medications altogether because symptoms have disappeared by completing a series of acupuncture treatment protocol .
