Q: What Are Some of the Commonly Treated Conditions?
A:
1) Covid: Covid is a highly contagious viral infection which is transmitted through breath. This infection can impact multiple aspects of one's health: neurological, respiratory, digestive, immunological, psychological and etc. It seems to affect a different person in a different way. We've been very involved in helping our patients prevent, treat and recover from Covid infection since the beginning of this pandemic. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are very effective in combating Covid.
2) Seasonal Allergies: Do you have cold symptoms all the time? Do you have itchy, tearing eyes, lingering congestion, or persistent dull headaches seasonally or as temperature changes? Do you have skin eczema that gets better or worse for no apparent reasons? Do you cough and wheeze when season changes? You may suffer from seasonal allergies. We take a natural approach to treating seasonal allergies by employing Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the Tsang clinics, the three stages of seasonal allergy treatment are: relief, correction and prevention.
3) Digestive Issues: Healthy digestive function is key to one's overall health: mental and physical. What is your gut feeling about this? Often, digestive imbalance settles into a pattern too difficult to be reversed by good dietary habit and life-work balance alone. Our acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment can be instrumental in putting one's digestive function back on track again.
4) Pain: Every kind of pain.
Q: What Is Acupuncture?
A: Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Chinese Medicine. Although what is called acupuncture in the West comprises of several different methods such as moxibustion and cupping, mostly it pertains to the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective in the treatment of specific and general health problems. Some of these points are Ashi or trigger points which reflect pathological conditions when palpated. Some of these points have fixed locations which have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of five thousand years. There are close to two thousands of named acupoints. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these points. For further information on acupuncture's healing mechanism and effect, consult your acupuncturist.
Q: Is Acupuncture Painful?
A: The insertion of acupuncture needles is usually not painful.
Q: What Is Dry Needling?
A: Dry needling is the use of acupuncture needles (i.e. dry needles) on a certain type of acupuncture points, i.e. trigger points or Ashi Points. Trigger points are flexible acupoints on a Meridian as determined through palpation. Dry needling is acupuncture. It has a limited scope of application. It can be effective when applied properly. When it's not applied properly, it can be very painful. It is called such because some very lightly (16 hours?) trained individuals wishing to practice acupuncture without proper training and licensing.
