At the Acupuncture Center we treat all types of pain. Knee pain is something that we see quite often and that seems to respond well in most cases. There are a plenitude of acupuncture points in the area of the knee that have been used for centuries to treat knee pain. Most patients see relief after a single treatment but a few more are usually needed to really make a lasting difference. Give us a call or shoot us a text and we can do a consultation over the phone to see if this type of treatment might be right for you. (804) 754-5108.

Plantar Fasciitis Anyone who has had this condition knows how painful it can be and how hard it can be to get rid of. But because of the nature of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and the way it looks at pain syndromes, acupuncture may be the best way to treat this condition. Acupuncture stimulates healing by stimulating blood and energy flow through the plantar area. In addition to acupuncture, typically we will use one or more of the following in our treatment plan for plantar fasciitis: Chinese herbs (internal), Chinese liniments, cupping, gua sha, electostimulation.
Bell's Palsy is a condition that traditionally responds extremely well to Acupuncture. In fact many physicians recommend that their patients with the condition get acupuncture. With Bell's Palsy it is important to start treatment as soon as possible. Bell's Palsy seems to be one of those conditions that can often get entrenched, and the longer you wait the the tougher it can be to resolve. However even patients who have had the condition for a year or more can see significant improvement, it just takes longer. Most of our recent onset patients see marked improvement after just a couple of visits. We also have several traditional herbal formulas that can hasten recovery.
We call this time of year and into summer sciatica time because we see more cases of sciatica during this time. We use traditional Chinese style acupuncture as well as Master Tung acupuncture for most sciatica cases. The method we use can get you out of pain in just a few treatments. If you have sciatica, acupuncture and cupping can help you heal naturally. Call or text to (804) 754-5108 to ask any questions, for a consultation, or to set up an appointment.
Tendonitis is a condition that can be tough to get rid of. The main reason for this is that tendon tissue naturally does not get a great supply of blood. Because of this, when a tendon is injured, it often does not heal as fast as tissue that gets a ready supply of healing blood. Acupuncture by its very nature increases the circulation to the area being treated and thus promotes quick healing. Sometimes we can do cupping in the area to speed things up even more. Call or text us to get help with this condition. (804) 754-51078.
Seasonal allergies is a condition that we see very often at the Acupuncture Center especially in the Spring. Acupuncture and some really good herbal formulations that we have been using for many years can be a good healthier alternative to taking pharmaceuticals. Our patients usually get very good results with using acupuncture for allergies. And the herbal formulations do not make you drowsy or have any other side effects. Also, remember that we can work on multiple issues in a treatment, so be sure and tell us if we can address other issues as well. Give us a call or send us a text to set up a treatment.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition that we see often and like to treat because it works so well. Acupuncture alone is good but acupuncture plus some Chinese herbs is even better at treating this by treating the root of the problem. If you have this condition call or text for a consultation and we can give you more details about exactly why it works and how we will get you feeling better.
Shingles can take some time to heal but responds very well to acupuncture and herbal medicine. Shingles can be tough to get over and can take months or longer and in some cases can be permanent. Acupuncture and some Chinese herbs can make it go away much much faster. I have treated shingles many times and it's really one of the best ways to speed recovery. There are 2 stages to healing, and different protocals are used during each stage. If you are someone you know is having trouble with shingles recovery give us a call and we can give you the specifics.
Hand pain is something that we see surprisingly often in our clinic. One reason is likely because surgery is often the only option offered by regular docs. Much like foot surgery, hand surgery is often not very successful, mainly due to the complexity or our hands (and feet). Cortisone shots are usually temporary and very painful in this area. Acupuncture is really an ideal thing to try for the hand, simply because of the number and strength of acupuncture points in the hand. The strongest, most effective acupuncture points are considered to be those below the the elbows and knees. Because of this we usually see good results in just a few sessions. Acupuncture can restore natural function to the hands.
Arthritis in Chinese medicine can be due to several causes. We find and treat the ROOT cause of the pain to effect true and lasting healing. We also treat the pain so while you are healing from the inside out you will also feel better. For a more holistic approach to healing acupucture and Chinese herbal formulas can be a great solution and have been for over two thousand years.
