Acupuncture Treatment
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body—most often by inserting thin needles through the skin. It is one of the practices used in traditional Chinese medicine.
What the Science Says About the Effectiveness of Acupuncture
Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider. However, clinical practice guidelines are inconsistent in recommendations about acupuncture.
The effects of acupuncture on the brain and body and how best to measure them are only beginning to be understood. Current evidence suggests that many factors like expectation and belief that are unrelated to acupuncture needling may play important roles in the beneficial effects of acupuncture on pain.

Herbal Medicine
What are herbal therapies?
Herbal therapy, next to dietary therapy, is perhaps the most widely used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment modality. TCM relies on herbal therapies both for the treatment of illness and in the optimization of health and prevention of disease.
There are 5,767 medicinal substances currently in use, including plant, animal, and mineral substances. The materia medica (book on TCM medicinal substances) includes information on the traditional uses, dosages, and contra-indications for each substance, as well as any available information on drug interactions, and any conventional medical research that has been published.
TCM assesses medicinal substances for their effects on particular vital substances, their resonance with particular zang fu organ systems, the channels of the jing luo system into which the substance is said to enter, and the pathogenic factors and patterns of disharmony that the substance is known to address.

CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for 10~15 minutes to create suction.
People get it for many purposes,
including to help with
pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and
as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new.
It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes
how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.
Some people also get “needle cupping,” in which the therapist first inserts acupuncture needles and then puts cups over them.
