One of the many debilitating symptoms of Fibromyalgia is extremely low energy. It’s hard to function and get anything done – and there’s not a pill you can pop to give you that energy back. To compound the problem, the body can’t heal itself it if doesn’t have adequate energy, and the spiral that occurs leads to all kinds of joint pain and a constant feeling of being “too cold.” The low energy, unyielding pain and “coldness” all negatively impact lifestyle. You want to be active. You want to dress normally (instead of wearing tons of layers). You want peace of mind and a sound body. And these are all totally understandable, reasonable “wants” for a human being to have.

Scoliosis is a problematic curvature of the spine. The curve usually takes the shape of a “C” or “S” and can cause the person to stand and walk off-balance and have uneven shoulders and hips. According to the National Institutes of Health, a birth defect, tumor or another disease might cause the spine to have a curve that isn’t temporary. People with mild scoliosis might only need checkups to see if the curve is getting worse. From the Western medical perspective, others might need to wear a brace long-term or have surgery. Ever since Dr. Oz featured cupping during his popular television show, it has been in higher demand than ever. It’s so exciting to us here at Eastern Medical Center to see cupping get more attention and have more people interested in cupping treatments because it’s such an amazing way to help heal the body of ailments, stimulate weight loss and even improve your looks! In Western society, it is considered normal to have PMS and menopausal symptoms. The discomfort and pain and problems are actually expected and quickly dismissed. But it’s not “normal.” No woman should have to suffer every month, and from the perspective of Chinese medicine, you shouldn’t have those difficult symptoms. It’s important for women to know that acupuncture and herbal medicine can help with infertility problems. Oftentimes, the reason women have trouble getting pregnant is because the body is out of balance and isn’t functioning properly. Two quick examples are an under-functioning thyroid or over-functioning thyroid, either one of which can affect fertility. A return to balance through acupuncture and herbs allows the body to operate in a natural, healthy way. Pain is due to a blockage of energy. When energy and blood has nowhere to go, it begins to stagnate, much like the muck that grows in still pond water. There’s no movement and no flow, which leads to unhealthy buildups, soreness and other physical and emotional symptoms. Acupuncture is like opening up the dam and letting fresh water rush in. |
