Acupuncture for Depression & Anxiety (Coming Soon)

Acupuncture has  a 3,000 year old proven track record. It works by stimulating body's natural healing powers and helps immune system by releasing natural pain killers (endorphins, dopamine etc.) spastic muscles and trigger points and many chronic and acute pain related conditions.
 
When an acupuncture needle is inserted into the body, the body activates the immune system and its healing properties. 
A properly selected Acupuncture point sometimes stops chronic or acute pain on contact, reduces inflammation and its neurological symptoms.
 
Acupuncture is a complete  healing system working on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, all at the same time. Acupuncture is a great alternative to harmful  pain killers.
 
What makes Acupuncture so great is that it is non invasive method that not only heals person's energy and internal organs, but at the same time greatly reduces emotional and physical stress making pursuit of optimal health more safe, comfortable and relaxing. 
 
Our  clinic uses many unique Acupuncture styles to best address multiple and complicated problems of a modern patient. We use almost exclusively    
Dr. Tung's Acupuncture System which is known for powerful results with few acupuncture  needles (works on multi-dimensional levels, several issues are addressed in a single session) as  well as Scalp Acupuncture for its powerful stress reducing properties as well as endocrine system enhancing effects.
 
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can treat simple to hard to cure conditions. From simple neck, low or upper back and shoulder pain, to infertility and chronic and degenerative diseases like Strokes, Parkinson's, Chronic Fatigue Multiple Sclerosis and various Immune and Reproductive Disorders.
 
In many cases, especially in acute problems (up to 3 months)  muscle pain can be relieved from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes upon proper selection and insertion of the Acupuncture needles. Even in chronic cases of pain Acupuncture is able to relieve the pain before the end of s single visit in most instances. (Every case is different and no guarantees, nor promises are made.) However there are many chronic conditions that require 3-6 visits to feel pain relieve.
 
Many of our clients improved their health and  beat infertility, reduced or got off their prescription medications due to significant improvement in their health and symptoms or simply improved their quality of life.  Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is a powerful tool for unlocking infinite possibilities to a better health !
 
The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture and other branches of this Alternative Medicine's ability to treat about 50 common disorders.
 
Pain & Painful Conditions  - in Chinese Medicine is usually associated with blockages of energy and (or) blood in one or several  Acupuncture meridians or channels. 
 
Acupuncture is well known to be very effective for any kind of pain, especially: Sciatica and Upper or Low Back Pain, Neuralgia's, Neck,  Shoulder and Knee Pain, Migraine Headache etc. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine also treats Spinal Cord Injuries, Paralysis and brain injuries: Stroke and Parkinson disease, as well as TMJ and many types of Headache and Migraine.
 
Acupuncture for Chronic & Acute Low Back Pain - this type of pain is usually associated in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture with the Bladder and Kidney meridians (energy flow).   Back Pain is perhaps one of the most common conditions patients get treated with Acupuncture for. Back pain limits range of motion and complicates daily activities such as sleeping and sitting in a chair. In recent Back Pain studies Acupuncture helped successful recovery for many study participants. Weather you have recent back pain or chronic (for 10 or even 20 years), Acupuncture may still successfully and effectively reduce your chronic or acute back pain in a reasonable time without surgery (consult your medical Doctor) so you can resume your daily and sports activity pain free, have a normal sleep and avoid or get off toxic pain medications or steroids.  *Click for more on Acupuncture for Back Pain*
 
Same Acupuncture approach is applied for sports injuries or sprains. Active sports participants and athletes use Acupuncture to improve their performance reduce injuries and get back on track. In some severe cases of pain (headache, low back pain or sciatica) blood letting is done. (a few drops of blood are released to remove blood stasis and obstruction. It is a relatively painless experience.) In some difficult painful cases, bleeding may produce impressive results, normally not achievable neither with Acupuncture nor Herbs. 
No matter what type of pain ( Sciatica  or Low Back Pain ) you have, Acupuncture would be a very good choice to manage and treat your pain. Pain Management is one of our primary specialties and we have a good success rate. 
 
 
Cancer -  Acupuncture can be used for cancer to relieve the side effects of chemo and radiation therapy (fatigue, nausea immune system etc.) as well as reduce pain, anxiety and stress. Any type of cancer can be helped with Acupuncture to expedite the recovery and healing on many levels.  
 
Immune System Disorders - Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help immune system disorders like: Lyme Disease, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue and many others by regulating the immune system and reducing symptoms and strengthening the function of internal organs.
 
Allergy:  Spring is normally associated with an allergy season.  Liver is the organ associated in Chinese Medicine with this season. So your Acupuncturist will normally balance and detox your liver to improve nasal discharge, watery eyes, skin itching and hives and all other symptoms associated with seasonal allergies. Other types of allergies can also be treated with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine as well.
 
In today's polluted environment (food, air etc) Allergy and allergic reactions are often seen to negatively effect the quality of people's lives.  Acupuncture can successfully relieve and treat many types of allergies. Such as environmental  allergies, seasonal allergies, as well as allergic skin reactions.
 
Nervous System Disorders  Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson Disease can all be treated with Acupuncture, Scalp Acupuncture and special points of Dr. Tung's Acupuncture. 
 
Headache: Tension, Cluster & Migraine Headaches. Acupuncture successfully treats headaches and migraines. The easiest type of headache to treat with Acupuncture is tension headache. Even though a Migraine type Headache can be challenging and slower to respond, nevertheless, any noticeable relief from migraines may bring enhanced life quality.    Click for more on Acupuncture for  Migraines & Headache  

TMJ- Temporomandibular joint pains come from tension and blockages of energy in the Liver & Gall Bladder energy as lateral parts of the body belong to such. Difficulty opening once jaw, limited range of motion and pain are all the symptoms of TMJ. We have seen clients who could only eat liquids, because of the pain and inability to open the mouth wide enough to consume solid food. Acupuncture is fast and effective method to restore TMJ to a working balance.  

Sciatica - in most cases is an inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Most often sciatica will be along the midsection of the back of the leg. Sciatic pain  can also radiate, shoot, burn  or travel from low back and all the way down to the toe area.   Acupuncture is very useful for the treatment of sciatica and we sure see a good number of successful outcomes in our clinic.*Click for more on Acupuncture for Sciatic pain*

Fatigue etc. - Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine can stimulate and increase energy by strengthening and detoxifying the system. Also Acupuncture has an ability to reduce mental and emotional stress as well as depression by relaxing the muscular and skeletal systems.  Depression and mood swings can be addressed by producing dopamine and endorphins.
