Treatments
Acupuncture
The Spine Acupuncture Clinic utilizes the established 12 meridians, which have long been recognized for their role in maintaining the body’s balance, to address painful areas, musculoskeletal issues, nerves, and internal organs simultaneously. However, the focus should not be solely on the quantity of needles used. Instead, the utmost importance lies in making an accurate diagnosis and targeting only the essential acupuncture points. Placing unnecessary needles can actually hinder the effectiveness of the treatment. By ensuring precise needle placement based on individual needs, the treatment can be more effective and efficient. It is crucial to prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to acupuncture treatment. This approach allows for a focused and tailored treatment, optimizing the potential benefits of acupuncture for addressing various acute and chronic pain conditions.
Herbal Medicine Treatment
Many cases demonstrate the relief experienced by individuals who have long suffered from diseases and pain through the use of herbal medicine. Recent studies have explored the efficacy of herbal medicine, highlighting its potential benefits for prevalent modern concerns like cancer, dementia, high blood pressure, diabetes, and psychiatric disorders. However, concerns regarding liver and kidney damage have made it challenging for people to consider herbal medicine as a viable treatment option. Thankfully, several research papers have reassured that instances of such damage caused by herbal medicines are rare. To ensure safety, it is advisable to consult with a Chinese doctor when seeking a prescription for herbal medicine. These consultations help select appropriate herbal remedies, considering individual needs and potential interactions with other medications or health conditions. By following the guidance of qualified professionals, individuals can confidently explore the potential benefits of herbal medicine while minimizing risks.
Pain Treatment
Pain in the human body is often interconnected with its functions. Local areas that experience pain, such as muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves, are linked to internal organs through cranial and spinal nerves. Since pain can affect the entire body, treatment solely focused on the local area may not always provide a complete cure. By addressing the underlying root cause and restoring the body’s abnormal condition back to normal, pain can be alleviated effectively. Acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments have proven to be highly effective in relieving a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions commonly experienced by modern individuals. These holistic treatment approaches aim to restore balance and promote overall well-being, offering natural and effective solutions for various pain-related ailments.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy involves applying cups to the body’s surface, creating negative pressure that leads to congestion or stasis. This method helps remove pathological substances, like stagnant blood, from the body by utilizing the difference in partial pressure between the skin surface and tissue. Initially utilized for surgical ailments, cupping therapy is now widely employed for internal diseases as well. It aids in relieving muscle pain by improving oxygen exchange capacity, while also facilitating the breakdown of uric acid and lactic acid to rapidly reduce muscle fatigue and restore damage caused by muscle contractions or relaxation.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion, a significant treatment method in Chinese medicine alongside acupuncture, has been employed for an extensive duration. This therapy involves applying warm energy to the body, which appears to impact blood composition. Moxibustion influences the digestive system, enhancing intestinal motility and stimulating gastric juice secretion. Furthermore, it has been found to bolster the body’s immune response. It is important to exercise caution as moxibustion may not be suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or pregnant women.
Tui-na Therapy
Tui-na therapy, a manual therapy in Chinese medicine, involves the manipulation of soft tissues, bones, and joints by a Chinese physician to restore function. Through various techniques using the hands or assistive devices, Tui-na therapy resolves structural and functional issues, relieving pain and improving mobility. Its primary benefit lies in correcting skeletal misalignment, often caused by poor posture that leads to uneven weight distribution in the body. Additionally, Tui-na therapy enhances mobility in segments that have become restricted. By correcting the skeletal structure and securing normal mobility, the rate of degeneration in the surrounding structures of the spine is reduced. Temporary pain or discomfort may be experienced after spinal correction due to realignment of soft tissues, but this is normal. Maintaining a correct posture is crucial to prevent the spine from becoming misaligned again. With 24 joint connections in the spine, poor posture can disrupt balance and lead to compensation-related misalignment. Regular Tui-na therapy checkups are recommended to maintain an upright spine and address any issues promptly
