Chronic & Acute Pain Treatment

Exhausted and drained, braving each day and moment under chronic pain?

At Peninsula OBGYN Integrative, we provide alternatives to injections, long-term reliance on medications, therapy or when all avenues have been exhausted.

Dr Young's integrative approach employs modalities such as acupuncture, auricle acupuncture , frequency specific microcurrent, and nutraceuticals for alleviation of chronic and acute pain with the aim to reduce or eliminate the pain and reliance on medications. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective for lower back pain .

Other treatments include LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy using Celluma technology), Electrical Stimulation, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxa, Myofascial Stretching and Trigger Point injections. LLLT has been shown to repair injured tissues, reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Dr Young also recommends topical hemp based CBD cream for local pain relief. Medication, including low dose Naltriaxone may be prescribed.
