Pain Treatment

Louisville Family Acupuncture can help alleviate pain conditions through a variety of treatments that respond to your specific needs.

Our expertise

Pain conditions are co-founder Alex Macias’ main area of expertise. Their clinically effective treatment protocols stem first from their early clinical work with veterans, who suffer from complex and severe pain conditions. 

Alex later served in rural Guatemala at a high-volume mobile clinic where they provided literally 10,000 treatments over the course of two years. 


Methods tailored to your well-being

Alex’s tailored treatments incorporate massage, cupping, electro-acupuncture, and other modalities. Alex works to provide relief within your first session, building a comprehensive treatment plan to alleviate your current symptoms as well as get to the root imbalance that is causing them. 

Whether we’re addressing new or old injury, chronic muscle tension, or migraines, Alex is here for you.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK TO RELIEVE MY PAIN?


Releasing Natural Painkillers

  • Stimulates the release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals

  • Modulates neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine to help manage pain perception

  • Strengthens the immune system to prevent recurring injuries and chronic inflammation

Decreasing Inflammation

  • Regulates inflammatory pathways and reduces swelling, redness, and heat in injured areas

  • Lowers levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to pain and tissue damage

Improving Blood Circulation & Oxygen Flow

  • Enhances microcirculation to injured tissues, speeding up recovery and tissue repair

  • Prevents scar tissue formation and improves joint mobility

Relaxing Muscles & Relieving Tension

  • Reduces muscle spasms, tightness, and knots

  • Helps correct postural imbalances that contribute to chronic pain

Supporting Nervous System Regulation

  • Calms overactive nerve signals, reducing neuropathic pain conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel, and migraines

  • Helps with nerve regeneration in conditions like peripheral neuropathy
