Areas of Focus
Physical Pain
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. No two people feel pain the same way, even if the reasons for their pain are alike. Pain is a highly personal experience and a person’s report of their own pain is the best measure.
Pain can feel mild or severe. Pain can include pricking, tingling, stinging, burning, shooting, aching, or electric sensations.
Pain is among the most important signals our body gives to help us survive. Pain can alert us to harmful changes in the body, or help us learn to avoid something harmful, like touching a hot stove. In this way, some forms of pain keep us safe.
In other cases, pain exists or continues without any known cause or benefit. Pain that continues for longer than three months is called chronic pain. Chronic pain can happen without a known cause and persist after an injury or known cause is resolved.
It can affect a person’s mood, relationships, movement, and all aspects of daily life. Pain can make it harder to do necessary tasks, work, and enjoy activities.

At Pure Health Clinic we can work together to pinpoint and target areas of your body — to experience the process of healing.

Emotional Pain
Psychological pain (or emotional pain) presents itself as anxiety that originates from non-physical sources. Sometimes this emotional distress is the result of the actions of others. Other times, it might be the result of regret, grief, or loss. In other cases, it might be the result of an underlying mental health condition such as depression or anxiety.
No matter what the cause, this psychological pain can be intense and significantly affect many different areas of your life.
​
While physical pain and emotional pain are different, there is research that suggests that both types of pain may share some neurological similarities. That both emotional and physical pain are linked to identical changes in the brain.
It could be argued that rather than viewing emotional pain and physical pain as fundamentally different, they should be conceptualized as part, if not directly connected to each other.
Some types of pain are purely physical, while others are purely emotional.
Sometimes, the real issue lies somewhere in the middle.
​
Together, we can help you discover what that is — or to simply experience a safe quiet place to feel some calm through TCM techniques.
The Body Builder
From low-impact resistance training to maximum-strength powerlifting; muscles tear, tendons stretch and fascia tightens. Injuries can also be part of the lifestyle. Whether you're healing from hypertrophy or from an injury; recovery times are different for everyone. By improving blood flow and lymphatic circulation, the duration of recovery times can be shortened, the pain mitigated —and have you back in the gym doing what you love.
The Person Living with Chronic Pain
Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something’s wrong, like an alarm. But when that alarm continues to go off for months or years, it can drown out many aspects of life that bring you joy. And it can take quite a toll on your physical, mental and emotional health. Because of this, it’s essential to seek help for chronic pain. Symptoms vary from person to person. But the defining characteristic of chronic pain is that it lasts for more than three months.Together, we can develop a plan to help manage and dampen your symptoms.
The Weekend Warrior
Our time off is important to us. Our lives can be consumed with trying to balance work, family and play; with very little time to take care of ourselves. Trying to fit in some fun, we might go full-tilt on a hike, a long cycling adventure or an intense game of pickleball without our bodies really being prepared for the sudden change in activity. We wake up cramping, stiff and you might even consider your next day off resting. With all your trigger points screaming out for healing, you might just need a calm and tranquil environment where you can experience physical and emotional healing.

The Active Retiree
As we age, our muscles get tighter, our tendons and ligaments become less flexible, and our bodies take longer to heal from injury; especially for the active retiree. It's a common experience due to the natural aging process and is often manageable through gentle movement, stretching, proper hydration, heat/ice therapy, and over-the-counter pain relievers. It's essential to maintain a balance of activity and rest. Adding some Traditional Chinese Medicine into the mix by visiting Kelly at Pure Health Clinic can help you over-come those not-so-pleasant changes that happen in our bodies as we get older. possible.
The Workaholic
Working from home has brought new challenges, and the stress has only increased. My emotions are up and down, feeling depressed at times and I have a hard time sleeping. I feel the pain in my hips, lower back and down the legs from sitting but also the tension in my neck is crazy.
