Dealing with the effects of discomfort, pain and injury can significantly affect your life both in and out of work, limiting what you do and how you interact with others. Therefore, preventing and managing discomfort, pain and injury makes good sense.

The Pain Clinic provides a complete, well-integrated approach to effectively eliminate pain and inflammation that ensures a speedy return to work and daily activities.

Of all the therapeutic tools they offer, acupuncture has been repeatedly demonstrated to outperform other treatments, not only effectively treating pain but also increasing the healing process. According to Dr Heinz-Peter Becker, leader of the Pain Clinic’s team, acupuncture results in significant reduction in long-lasting pain without the need for narcotics, drugs, surgery or ongoing supplementation.

“Numerous studies by the National Institute of Health, the Mayo Clinic and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation have shown that acupuncture offers the treatment of choice for sustained acute and chronic pain relief,” Becker said in an interview with The Gleaner.

Becker, a doctor of oriental medicine, naturopath and clinical psychologist, was trained at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine, California School of Professional Psychology, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Boston University.
