Acupuncture for pain and more problems
For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used to effectively treat conditions such as joint and muscle pain, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, insomnia and stress, and migraines. Acupuncture is able to treat such a wide variety of conditions because of its multiple documented actions, outlined in a sampling of studies below:
Acupuncture has been proven to reduce the amount of pain felt by the brain
Acupuncture reduces inflammation and promotes better circulation, which can heal wounds more quickly
From a traditional Chinese medical standpoint, acupuncture improves the body by removing blockages in vital energy channels (meridians) that feed one’s blood and organs. By promoting optimal function in this vital energy and by proxy, the rest of the body, it is possible to heal a wide variety of acute and chronic illnesses and make good health a natural, long-lasting state of being.
Cupping promotes healthy circulation, lymph drainage, and vital energy.
Recently famous in the news for being used on Michael Phelps in the 2016 Summer Olympics, cupping has been used in China for thousands of years and today is used for pain reduction and better blood circulation. Commonly treated areas include the upper and lower back, shoulders, legs, and even the stomach for certain digestive disorders. At Acupuncture Ohio, we offer two types of cupping; dry and wet. Dry cupping creates a vacuum against the skin to create more space for the flow of fresh blood and lymph, which therefore improves pain conditions due to chronically tight or atrophied muscles. Wet cupping involves pricking the skin to release stagnant, severely deoxygenated blood that is preventing healthy circulation and pain-free existence.
Efficacy of cupping for reduction of frequency and intensity of migraines
Efficacy of cupping for carpal tunnel syndrome
Efficacy of cupping for fibromyalgia (please note that while the study concludes that cupping is not ‘effective’, both the tested cupping and sham cupping still performed better than conventional fibromyalgia treatment)
NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique)
NAET was developed in the 1970’s by Dr. Devi Nambudripad. It is a painless and noninvasive allergy testing and treatment technique that uses muscle testing to determine the body’s response to various allergens that have negative effects on one’s health. Because it is painless and noninvasive, it is suitable for infants, toddlers, children, pregnant women, seniors, immunocompromised patients, and all adults. The most commonly treated allergies at Acupuncture Ohio include peanut and soy allergies, pollen and ragweed, pet allergies, and medicine-related allergies. NAET boasts an impressive reputation for treating mild to anaphylactic allergies to many stimuli and NAET practitioners treat patients worldwide and hold an annual symposium located in St. Louis, MO to better the development and practice of this technique.
