Pain Management
Pain Relief, Injury Recovery, and Optimized Performance at Hackett Holistic Health
Whether you’re a professional athlete extending your limits and range, a dedicated amateur chasing personal bests, or simply dealing with the realities of everyday life—like a tweaked back from lifting, post-surgical healing, or the aftermath of a fall—persistent pain can sideline you and diminish your quality of life. At Hackett Holistic Health, Dr. Tracy takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach that integrates acupuncture, so-called dry needling, ARPwave Neuromuscular Therapy, BioWave high-frequency neurostimulation, near infrared therapy, cupping, and her proprietary Kinetic Chain Acupuncture Therapeutics. These modalities work synergistically to reduce pain, accelerate healing, restore function, and help you return stronger.
Why Dr. Hackett’s Integrative Approach Works
Traditional pain management often focuses on symptoms with medications or isolated treatments. We address the interconnected systems of the body—nerves, muscles, fascia, energy flow, and movement patterns—for faster, longer-lasting results with minimal downtime. This “And, Both” model (East-West functional medicine) has helped PGA Tour professionals and other athletes (pro and retired) recover from injuries and return to peak performance, while also supporting everyday patients in regaining mobility and comfort.
Acupuncture: Natural Pain Relief and Whole-Body Balance
Acupuncture stimulates specific points to release endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers), reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote nervous system regulation. For athletes, it excels at treating acute sports injuries, overuse strains, tendinitis, and muscle imbalances while speeding recovery and enhancing performance. For non-athletes, it’s highly effective for back tweaks, post-surgical pain (including after spinal procedures), and fall-related trauma by calming inflammation and supporting tissue repair.
Benefits include:
– Rapid pain reduction without drugs.
– Improved range of motion and reduced swelling.
– Better sleep and stress response, which aid overall healing.
ARPwave Neuromuscular Therapy: Retrain Muscles and Accelerate Healing
ARPwave uses patented bioelectrical currents combined with guided movement to target the neurological roots of pain and dysfunction. It helps muscles and nerves “relearn” proper firing patterns, reduces scar tissue, improves blood flow, and speeds recovery dramatically—often 60-80% faster than traditional methods.
Ideal for:
– Pro and amateur athletes recovering from strains, sprains, or performance plateaus.
– Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., knee, shoulder, or back procedures).
– Everyday issues like acute back tweaks or fall injuries by addressing compensatory patterns that prolong pain.
Many patients report significant pain relief and improved function after just a few sessions.
BioWave: Drug-Free, Long-Lasting Neurostimulation
BioWave delivers high-frequency signals that penetrate deep to block pain at the nerve level (unlike standard TENS units). A single 30-minute session can provide relief for up to 24 hours, improving mobility and supporting active recovery.
It’s especially useful for:
– Chronic or acute athletic pain.
– Post-operative discomfort.
– Back pain or injury recovery, allowing you to move more comfortably during rehab.
Kinetic Chain Therapeutics: Restore Efficient Movement and Alleviates Pain Quickly
Drawing from neuroscience (including mirror neurons and proprioception) and TCM principles, this approach evaluates and treats the full interconnected chain of joints, muscles, and fascia. A dysfunction in one area (e.g., tight hips affecting the back) creates compensatory patterns elsewhere. Dr. Hackett finds subtle dysfunctional compensation within and connecting muscle groups, then works to correct these patterns to prevent re-injury and optimize performance.
This is particularly powerful for golfers and other rotational athletes, as well as anyone recovering from back issues, surgery, or falls, by rebuilding stable, efficient movement from the ground up.
