Acupressure promotes functionality in the mind and body. Disease is the result of poor functionality. Therefore, acupressure can be beneficial with any health concern.
But the degree of how much it can help is dependent on the longevity of the root cause.
There are three general roots causes of poor functionality in Chinese Medicine: external invasions, emotional disharmonies, and physical taxation or trauma. They can be acute or chronic.
With any acute concern, we suggest multiple acupuncture sessions a week to quickly combat it. We may utilize herbal remedies that can quickly address it.
Chronic concerns are often addressed once a week for ten weeks. After that, we may do once every two weeks or month.
When concerns are addressed, we encourage visits every seasonal change for upkeep in functionality.
Most common reasons to see a Chinese medicine practitioner:
- Pain
- Back, neck, shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist, ankle
- Anxiety/depression
- Fertility
- Regulating the menstrual cycle
- Autoimmune diseases
- Pathogenic invasions
- Supporting the patient through cancer treatments
- It is against our licensing agreements to say we treat cancer. We may only benefit the patient through their treatments by encouraging healthy functionality.
- Skin disorders
- Eczema, psoriasis, acne
- Weight loss/gain
- Beauty
- Edema
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
- Regulating bowel movements
- Encouraging gut health
My medical specialty is pain of any kind, which I approach from a psychosomatic view.
My other specialties benefit everyday life like learning how to learn, meditation on and off the cushion, mantras, and movement practices.
May all patients feel their concerns are addressed. May they feel rested. May they feel empowered. May health touch all that is known and encourage goodness in the world.
