TREATMENTS
Depending on severity and type of disease, the goals of each specific treatment may vary. Although each session will usually last one hour, the treatment does not end there. The effects of acupuncture and other modalities can last quite a while, and the patient may want to be aware of changes which take place after the session. The frequency and number of sessions needed will be determined according to disease severity and type. Some patients with mild issues may only need to be treated a couple of times, whereas someone with a more severe disorder may have a more long range plan of treatment.
Because it is a complete medicine, Oriental Medicine is used to treat almost every pathology. In New York City, it has gained a strong reputation for its specific use in the treatment of:
- Infertility
- Menstrual Problems
- GI Pathologies
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Chronic Fatigue
- Dermatological Problems
- Allergies & Asthma
- Digestive Problems
- Orthopedic/Neurological Pain Management
- Sports Injuries
- Moderate Trauma
- Acid Reflux
Acupuncture is also highly effective at rejuvenating the face. “Facial rejuvenation” techniques are used as a safer, simpler, less expensive alternative to treatments such as Botox® or face lifts.
