 What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal Tunnel occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is about as wide as a thumb and lies at the wrist, extending into the palm. When the nerve is compressed, due to overuse in work, sports, or any other repetitive wrist activities, pain is felt accompanied by stiffness, tingling and numbness. Most find that symptoms worsen in the night while trying to sleep or during long hours of repetitive use.
How can acupuncture help? Acupuncture promotes blood flow and reduces pain, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Zamora has extensive experience treating Carpal Tunnel syndrome with acupuncture. Patients also find improved sleep with reduced pain and inflammation as an added benefit with treatments. What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment? During an initial session at Zamora Acupuncture, you will walk into the sparkling office of Dr. Kourtney Zamora, she will listen to your concerns and gain an understanding of your health history. She will then come up with a treatment plan tailored for you and proceed to treatment if it's a good fit. She carefully places the fine needles at strategic points along your body. Patients find it surprising how little you can feel the needle insertions. As the needles settle in, you can feel a wave of relaxation. It can feel as if each tiny prick is untying the knots of stress and pain that have formed over time. Upon leaving, most patients feel relaxed and ready for the rest of the day. What are patients saying? Patients are saying things like, “As I continued my treatments with Kourtney, the tightness in my arm began to dissipate, and the numbness and tingling from the carpal tunnel lessened and lessened.” Contact Us: If you are looking to rid your life of carpal tunnel pain and get back to the things you love, book online at www.AZacu.com or call 480-300-5767.

Transformative Moments: The Patient Encounters That Inspired a Lifelong Commitment to Healing11/28/2024  Amidst the warm desert sun, Zamora Acupuncture stands as a hidden gem, where Dr. Zamora dedicates her life to helping those with chronic pain and nerve disorders. Her journey began in a small farm town in Tillamook, Oregon, where hard work instilled in her a passion for patient care.
One memorable day, a hesitant patient entered, burdened by debilitating back pain that hindered her enjoyment of life. After failed surgeries and medications, she had nearly lost hope. Dr. Zamora warmly reassured her and explained the acupuncture process. As the delicate needles stimulated her body's healing pathways, the patient experienced a wave of relaxation and relief. Through infrared technology and Estim techniques, Dr. Zamora helped reduce her inflammation and pain. Weeks later, the patient returned, sharing joyful stories of playing with her grandchildren and finally sleeping through the night. For Dr. Zamora, these moments affirm her mission and purpose. She stays updated on acupuncture advancements and integrates new therapies with traditional methods to provide the best care. Outside of work, Dr. Zamora cherishes time with her husband and children. Occasionally, they join her at the clinic, bringing smiles to patients and stirring fond memories of her childhood helping at her father's bowling center. Each patient at Zamora Acupuncture is not just a case but a story of resilience. Dr. Zamora embraces her work as a calling, dedicated to kindling hope and joy in her patients' lives.
