Is Osteoarthritis Reversible?
Unfortunately, you can’t undo joint damage caused by osteoarthritis. You can, however, take steps to prevent it from getting worse.
Benefits of Acupuncture
If you live with ongoing pain or unwelcome symptoms of allergies, you probably spend a lot of time thinking about things that could bring you relief. The problem is that many of the options available rely on prescription medications.
If you’ve been looking for a drug-free way to feel better, you may benefit from acupuncture. Not only is this treatment safe and natural, but it’s also effective for a broad range of conditions. That’s why Dr. Halina Snowball offers acupuncture as one of many proven treatments at Integrated Pain Solutions in Stamford, Connecticut.
Here’s a look at just some of the many benefits of acupuncture.

In short, if you’re dealing with ongoing pain, nausea, allergies, or a mental health condition, ask us if acupuncture could be right for you.
It has a long history
Very few treatments stand the test of time. As medicine advances, even options that were widely used a few years ago often fall by the wayside.
Not so with acupuncture. This treatment has been used for thousands of years to help people find relief from their ailments.
It’s not just tradition that has people using acupuncture. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health released a consensus statement showing that acupuncture is effective for numerous conditions. And several studies have shown similar results.
It’s safe and comfortable
The biggest risks with acupuncture come from seeing a practitioner who isn’t properly trained or doesn’t use sterile needles. But here at Integrated Pain Solutions, you don’t need to worry about any of that.
The primary side effects from acupuncture are minor soreness and bruising. Compared to the side effects that come with many prescription drugs, these short-lasting inconveniences don’t bother most people at all.
Even with minimal side effects, you might be worried about the treatment itself. But the needles we use are so fine that you shouldn’t feel any discomfort during your treatment. And many patients report feeling markedly better immediately after their acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture delivers a myriad of benefits without a prescription or unwanted side effects. If you’d like to learn more or find out if acupuncture is right for you, don’t hesitate to call us at 203-293-0549 or request an appointment online today.
