opiate free pain relief
take a step towards pain relief
Your body has what it needs to manage pain, inflammation, and the stress and anxiety of our modern world. We will support your own capacity to live pain free without as much dependency on drugs. We also support a network of community health centers in the border region helping people reduce pain drug use.
HOW CROSSROADS WORKS
WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE:
We use thin, sterile, disposable needles inserted superficially into specific areas of the body that promote the body's natural healing response.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND US:
We offer private sessions including cupping as well at our Las Cruces clinic, and we also offer mobile services within community centers throughout the border region.
our process
The most common experience is that after the points are placed, people usually fall asleep for a half an hour or so, and awake feeling relaxed and refreshed.
-
The goal here is for you to feel seen and heard. Together, we design a treatment plan that addresses your questions and concerns. Ryan, our Doctor of Oriental Medicine will review your medical history in depth with you, and understand exactly what you want to change about your health. Based on this, he will determine where to put the acupuncture points. After, you’ll receive an integrative treatment plan and a grounded explanation of what to expect over the course of care.
-
This is where we will walk with you to put your treatment plan into action. The number of treatments for you depends on how much support that healing response needs. To get you out of a high level of pain or distress, you may need a few visits a week until you start to feel better. Moving forward, we can help you correct the underlying causes of your symptoms. And once your problem is out of a crisis or severe stage, we will help you maintain health by keeping you tuned up, taking care of little problems before they get bigger. Our commitment is to walk with you and help you decide as you go along how acupuncture can help as an integrative healthcare solution.
-
Before paying anything or committing to acupuncture, you can ask for a free consultation with Ryan Bemis, our Doctor of Oriental Medicine. You’ll be able to share with him what problems you are facing, and ask him any questions you have about acupuncture and cupping. He will determine if our clinic is a good fit for you. He will also give you some grounded, realistic expectations about how acupuncture might be able to support you with your healthcare goals.
