Many people seek acupuncture for pain relief. I will ask you many
questions about your condition and your answers are important as they guide my
selection of acupuncture points.
I will ask you what makes the pain better or
worse. We will need to determine
if the pain is better with heat, cold,
movement, or rest. I will ask you about the severity of pain on a scale of 1-10
during the day and at night. Asking these same questions frequently, allows us
to chart improvement in your condition.

Acupuncture has been used to treat infertility for thousands
of years.

Connecticut families create 31 babies. Three mothers are expecting twins. To

Fertility, IVF, and acupuncture are a fascinating medical study. My patients
consistently report an increase in the number of eggs when combining acupuncture
and IVF. The work I have done with IVF patients is very helpful in proving how
and why acupuncture helps women become pregnant with using acupuncture alone. I
contribute my high success rate to my training in classical acupuncture.
In the United States many women
planning In vitro fertilization (IVF) seek acupuncture treatment because many studies, including my own, shows Acupuncture when combined with IVF will
greatly increase your chances of starting a family. A now famous German study which was
published in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, was one of the
first studies to conclude that woman combining acupuncture with IVF are more
likely to get pregnant. Since the
release of the German study, the number of woman combining acupuncture and IVF
has greatly increased.

Arthritis is a leading cause of disability in
the United States. In Chinese Medicine arthritis is called a “Bi Pattern” by
“Bi” we mean obstruction or blockage. Arthritis frequent creates other
neuromuscular problems which are easier for acupuncturists to treat. These
secondary conditions are created because the patient is compensating to
accommodate the arthritic joint. Arthritis (Bi) is frequently exacerbated by
cold, dampness, and heat. Each type of arthritis (Bi pattern) is treated
differently. In Connecticut damp and cold Bi are the most common patterns
encountered clinically. To

As an American acupuncturist I need to explain
how acupuncture works to an American audience. I frequently use the example of
how we treat common cold with acupuncture. Most of the acupuncture points for
colds are on the upper body. When a needle is inserted into the body, your
immune system is redirected to the needle. Since most colds are acquired by
touching your nose, eyes, mouth, and ears. Directing your immune system toward
the colds entry point helps your body defend and defeat the virus or bacteria.
Now this is a very simplistic explanation but it can serve as a starting point
for your understanding of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. To learn more about the
treatment of colds with acupuncture click here…
Acupuncture is very effective in the treatment

Water plays an important role in having a successful bowl movement. An

accent. To learn more about the
