National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment alone or in combination with conventional therapies to treat the following: nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer chemotherapy, dental pain after surgery, addiction, headaches, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and asthma.
It may also help with stroke rehabilitation.
Treatment Techniques
We use therapies that are of most benefit to the patient's complaints, including needling, cupping, guasha, moxa, triple-edge needle, and plum blossom needling. We like to make use of the auriculotherapy techniques and use some tuina massage, for a maximum of 5-10 minutes in each session.
Auriculotherapy is a treatment method that uses the ear to address a variety of conditions. It is based on the notion that the ear is a microsystem that reflects the entire body. Fine needles or pressure are applied to specific points on the ear to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities.
Acupuncture is a centuries-old medical practice that involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these points are connected to channels of energy that flow throughout the body. By stimulating these points, acupuncture can help to restore balance and flow of energy, leading to pain relief and other health benefits.
Electro-acupuncture is a modern variation of acupuncture that uses electrical stimulation to amplify the effects of acupuncture, leading to greater pain relief and other benefits. It is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including neurological disorders, chronic pain, and anxiety.
Guasha is a treatment that involves scraping the skin with a smooth tool, such as a jade stone or a horn. This technique can help to draw out toxins and improve circulation. Guasha is thought to be effective for a variety of conditions, including pain relief, muscle tension, and skin problems.
Heat therapies are a group of treatments that use heat to improve circulation, relieve pain, and promote healing. They are thought to help restore balance to qi and promote the flow of blood and energy throughout the body.
Cupping is an ancient Chinese medical treatment that involves placing cups on the skin and creating a vacuum. This suction can help to draw out toxins and improve circulation, leading to a variety of health benefits. Cupping can assist with pain relief, promoting skin health, and relieving stress.
