Healing with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Relieve chronic pain, heal acute trauma
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture is helpful for relieving pain related to soft tissue and MSK issues. Many people deal with chronic pain issues like back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headache and migraine, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and joint pain. Likewise, after an acute trauma, it is useful to administer acupuncture points for trauma right away and then work to improve recovery with a series of regular acupuncture treatments.
Local and non-local points can treat your pain
Unlike dry-needling, or trigger point techniques with needles, which treat only local points in the problem areas, TCM Acupuncture is rooted in classical TCM theory based on the 12 meridians which pass through the whole body. TCM acupuncture can treat areas which are too inflamed to be treated locally, with distal points. Needling of points on the 12 meridians can treat both the local area as well as inner organs or body areas far away from the acupuncture point, as the meridians run through the whole body. Therefore, as a positive side effect, it is very common that after having had acupuncture for various pain issues, clients often report better sleep, less anxiety, a more positive mood and better energy after acupuncture treatments.
Manage chronic disease and psychological conditions
TCM acupuncture has been successful in treating psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and addictions and has also helped with memory, focus and attention. It has been successful in treating digestive issues such as IBS, Gerd, bloating and abdominal/ epigastric pain and aided in weight management. TCM Acupuncture can help in managing diabetes, heart issues, neurodegenerative diseases, immune deficiency (chronic and acute), automimmune issues, skin diseases and gynecological concerns such as dysmenorrhea.
Regain balance in your body and mind
Like homeopathy, TCM Acupuncture is an energy medicine. By regulating and balancing the flow of Qi and Blood throughout the 12 meridians, TCM Acupuncture balances the meridians and thus the inner organs of the body from an energetic point of view. TCM Acupuncture also diagnoses the patient in a highly individualized way. The goal of this individualized diagnosis is to find and treat the root cause of the imbalance.
For example, Chinese medicine diagnoses your balance between yin and yang and your unique ratio of excess or deficient symptoms in particular body areas. It also determines your unique balance of hot and cold as well as the mix of external or internal causes specific to your disease.
These four areas of balance are differently expressed from one patient to the next, even though they may have similar symptoms.
