Shockwave
Shockwave therapy provides a safe and noninvasive treatment for Knee pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, and other musculoskeletal injuries. At Pain PDX (located within Asha Wellness), we use this therapy to relieve pain and inflammation and increase function by stimulating the body's own healing processes. The procedure is quick , non invasive and requires no downtime.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a medical technique that dates back thousands of years and is the most common modality used in traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, painless needles into specific points of the body. This process stimulates the body’s energetic meridians, enabling the body to come back into balance and heal. Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective treatment for a wide variety of medical problems including pain and injuries, anxiety, and smoking cessation.
Moxibustion, or moxa, involves the burning of the herb mugwort. The practitioner lights the mugwart bundle and holds it over the patient’s injury creating warmth for the area. Moxa is often used in conjunction with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies and has been shown to aid in the treatment of a long list of conditions including arthritis pain, healing from cold/ flu, and gastrointestinal distress.
The process of cupping involves a special glass cup which is used to create a partial vacuum. Depending on the condition being treated, the cup is either left in one place or moved around the back. Like many of the modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping improves many conditions. Cupping mobilizes blood to speed up recovery time after musculoskeletal injuries and may be used to reduce scar tissue and muscle tightness, and to treat various lung issues like pneumonia and asthma.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine recognizes an inherent self-healing process in people that is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic physicians act to identify and remove obstacles to healing and recovery, and to facilitate and augment this inherent self-healing process.
The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
Naturopathic doctors follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient:
Utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat;
Avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms; and
Acknowledge, respect, and work with individuals’ self-healing process.
Naturopathic doctors educate their patients and encourage self-responsibility for health. Naturopaths treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors. Naturopaths emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease, and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.
Naturopathic practice includes the following diagnostic and therapeutic modalities: clinical and laboratory diagnostic testing, nutritional medicine, botanical medicine, naturopathic physical medicine (including naturopathic manipulative therapy), public health measures, hygiene, counseling, minor surgery, homeopathy, prescription medication, intravenous and injection therapy, and naturopathic obstetrics (natural childbirth).
