In today’s hectic lifestyle, we don’t take adequate time to heal. We resort to painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications to dull the aches and pains and reduce inflammation. Drugs are quick and easy, albeit temporary.
I have a new technique that is proving to be effective and long lasting with very quick results. Whether the pain is chronic or acute, the treatment is the same. Usually fewer than 6 appointments are needed and each appointment is only 20-30 minutes. There are no drugs involved. I simply work with your body and help it heal and repair and renew.
It’s more than just pain … it’s full range of movement without pain. I have had men touching their toes when they have never touched their toes in their whole life.
I find it fascinating to blend the “ancient” world of acupuncture with today’s “modern” knowledge of the body. Thousands of years ago, they didn’t have microscopes so their insight to the body was very limited. To incorporate today’s knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and neurology with ancient applications that have a modern twist and purpose is effective.
The ancient philosophy of TCM in treating pain is to move the energy (Qi) through the obstacles that create the blockages. The flow of Qi can be disrupted by physical trauma, sprains, strains, over-exertion, repetitive injury, emotional stress, etc. Keeping this purpose in mind, applying new information about the body structures and how they work gives us the same simple approach with even better results.
The beauty of acupuncture is its simplicity. By simply moving the energy within the body, many ailments can be eliminated … like PAIN. The reason Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), that is thousands of years old, is still effective today is because the human body has not really changed or evolved. We are the same beast today as we were thousands of years ago. (better teeth and less body hair)
Maintaining the basic TCM principles, I use a new technique called Auricular Medicine to create an even more effective healing plan. This new approach to dealing with pain has high success ratings. Auricular Medicine comes to us from Germany where most Orthopedic surgeons begin treatment using auricular medicine and have been doing so for many years.
IF you impose an image of a human fetus over the ear, it matches beautifully. We follow the map laid out by the fetus to find the injuries or obstacles that create the pain.
When you combine the Auricular Medicine with Laser Acupuncture, needles aren’t even needed. But the level of success remains the same. My patients have a choice of treatments: the traditional needles or needle-less acupuncture (laser).
You DO NOT have to live in a state of constant PAIN. You owe it to yourself, your health and wellbeing to give Acupuncture a try. I have dozens of happy patients whose range of movement has increased dramatically and who are in less pain that they ever dreamed was possible. You could be one of them!
