Arthritis? Effective Treatment in Greenville, SC
Arthritis plagues many around the world, and Greenville, SC is no exclusion. For some, colder weather makes arthritis worse, and for others, the pain is present regardless of the weather. Arthritis comes for many, after a certain age or after injury. Damage to the joints comes to some through genetic likelihood, and for others, from extreme wear and tear from occupation, or hobbies.
Whether your arthritis came from hiking, knitting, cycling, a car accident, too much typing at work, or simply from your mother’s side of the family, acupuncture and our advanced therapies can help at Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine.
Our Medical Director, Dr. Laura Parks has over 15 years of clinical success treating arthritis and other forms of chronic pain. Clinical trials and research have proven acupuncture to be more effective than pain medication for arthritis. It may take a small series of regular treatments to eliminate the arthritis pain, and then possibly monthly maintenance treatments to maintain the results, depending on the severity of the condition.
In addition to acupuncture, Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine offers natural, effective treatments to successfully treat arthritis such as O3 Regenerative Therapy™ and ATP Resonance BioTherapy™, and for some, Direct Vitamin Injection Therapy™ is also very helpful.
To determine the best treatment plan for each patient, Dr. Parks will begin with a consultation. You can schedule your consultation with Dr. Parks by calling 864-908-9032 and get back to living your best life today!
Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of Gua Sha
Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of this medicine believe that a person’s qi, or energy, must flow unhindered throughout the body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant, health problems occur. With Gua sha, your acupuncturist uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where inflammation or stagnant qi exist to help improve circulation and promote healing. When done correctly, Gua sha can help you unlock radiant skin and achieve holistic well-being. continue reading

“Do More in 2024” for Your Health & Your Future
At last, the new year is upon us. Will we live our best lives and manifest our fullest potential? What we do with all that potential, is always up to us.
One way to hone in on our resolutions, our health and wellness goals is to try something new, like acupuncture. Although acupuncture is technically anything but “new” being over 3,000 year old system of medicine originating from China, it may be a new experience for you.
Acupuncture is truly an excellent treatment approach for many ailments for several reasons. First, there are no side effects to acupuncture like there are with medications or surgery. Second, it is actually a very pleasant experience for most people, as most patients fall asleep during their session, and it is considered non-invasive. Third, it can treat multiple health concerns at the same time. Many times a patient will come in for their chronic pain, for example, and also see lasting improvements with their lifelong anxiety or insomnia, digestive issues or migraines. It even helps couples get pregnant who are struggling to start a family, or help with menopausal concerns and reproductive health.
Anything you would consider taking a pill for, you could try acupuncture.
With the New Year, many folks even use acupuncture to quit smoking, or use acupuncture to lose weight.
At Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, we take an integrative approach looking at many ways to naturally support your health and wellness, utilizing acupuncture, electro-stim, ATP Resonance BioTherapyTM, O3 Regenerative TherapyTM, and custom nutritional support.
While we specialize in complex, chronic conditions that are difficult to treat such as neuropathy, autoimmune conditions, infertility, migraines, and women’s health, we do treat many other conditions (and all ages) as well.
