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. One of the most commonly asked questions about acupuncture is, “What does it treat?” Perhaps a better question is actually, “What doesn’t it treat?” Because Traditional Chinese Medicine is designed to balance the whole body (rather than just subduing a symptom or working in isolation), there are very few illnesses or health disorders beyond the [...] Eastern Medical Center wants to help you have a 2010 marked by improved health, better sleep and increased physical comfort. So, just in time for the New Year we’re introducing collagen peptide to the products and treatment options available at our Pleasanton location. So, what does that mean? Well, collagen is the most abundant fibrous protein in the human body. Up to 30 percent of all protein in the body is collagen and up to 70 percent of the proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen. It is made up of specialized cells in the skin, ligaments, bones and cartilage and is amazing stuff that will smooth your skin and support your body. Who do you know who would greatly benefit from some pain or stress relief, yet will not spend money on themselves? There’s a sad truth in our society that many people — including some of our friends and family — won’t spend money to invest in their own health. Something like making an acupuncture appointment to address a nagging (or even serious) health problem is “too expensive” or “not a priority.” |
