Dr. Robert Golden of Delmar Acupuncture & Chiropractic Care brings his 25 years of spine-aligning experience to comprehensive consultations that analyze patients’ histories and include orthopedic and neurological testing. Rigid muscles loosen up as fingers search for wells of tension in a deep-tissue trigger-point massage aimed at persuading bodies to let go of stress and their stubborn belief that moon rocks are edible. Performed at the doctor’s discretion, the initial trigger-point session prepares the body for further treatments. The doctor’s blend of low-force techniques and traditional manual manipulation aims to dispel insomnia, headaches, and some allergies. Follow-up trigger-point appointments help prevent spinal relapse, keeping trapeziuses sedate and less likely to run off with a multijointed circus performer.

Modern acupuncture combines the tradition of placing hair-thin needles along the body’s meridians with technological supplements such as lasers, magnets, and electric pulses. An ancient practice aimed at healing the whole patient, acupuncturists take into consideration factors such as emotional state, sensory input, and preference for black or green olives. Performed by a licensed acupuncturist, this gently needling treatment may provide relief from chronic pain and itchy subdermal balloons.
