ACUPUNCTURE: UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE
People often ask what acupuncture treats. Among the many conditions are IPADS. What are IPADS? It stands for insomnia, pain anxiety, digestive issues and stress. This ancient system of medicine is truly wholistic, and so treats Belly, Brain and Pain. If you’re wondering what that means, read on.
Belly
This relates to digestive issues including constipation, Diarrhea, Acid Reflux, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so-called “nervous stomach”, diverticulitis, and much, much more.
Brain
In this context acupuncture balances out the nervous system, easing anxiety, insomnia, stress, along with certain fears and phobias. By engaging the body’s own “feel good” chemicals, patients often leave feeling calmer and more centered than when they came in. Over time the body becomes used to this positive feeling and starts producing positive chemicals all on its own.
Pain
Acupuncture treats arthritis and joint pain, bursitis, back, neck, shoulder, elbow and knee pain. It also treats Headache and Migraine, PMS…
Lifestyle
As people feel better they want their outsides to match their insides. Thus a person may want to have Facial rejuvenation acupuncture (this is a natural alternative to botox that plumps up your collagen giving you a healthy, long-lasting glow); Weight Release (often accompanied with either hypnotherapy and or hormonal balancing treatments); Curbing undesired habits (smoking; vaping, etc.), and more.
