Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with Care Cure Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been very effective in alleviating pain caused by sports injuries among others and seeks always to root cause the source of such pain. One such injury treated by Chinese Medicine is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) which is an injury associated with the peripheral nerve tissues and their responses.
To explain Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a nerve entrapment which manifests itself as pain, numbness or weakness in the forearm, wrist or hand. Some people with this condition can experience difficulty in discerning hot from cold sensations while others experience it as a deterioration of local tendons, muscles, ligaments, and sinew. It can come on from an injury to the nerves or as a side effect of pregnancy and can be felt as debilitating and cause a reduction in quality of life.
The combination of Acupuncture and Moxibustion which is the treatment recommended by Traditional Chinese Acupuncture can alleviate the pain and heal the damaged tissues of people suffering from this disease.
For example the findings of a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Research deduced that Moxibustion combined with Acupuncture was effective in healing the median nerve transection areas of the median nerve and it can also significantly improve thumb-to-wrist sensory conduction velocity.
Within the study Acupuncture was applied to patients relaxing in a seated position with the elbow slightly bent. Their palms rested on the treatment table in a face up position. First, acupoints on the yang meridians were applied followed by acupoints on the yin meridians. Mild reinforcing and reducing manual acupuncture techniques were applied until the arrival of deqi. The needles were stimulated with manual acupuncture techniques every ten minutes during the thirty minute treatment sessions. Acupuncture was applied once per day, five days per week, for two weeks. This process was repeated two times for a total of thirty acupuncture treatment sessions over a six week period of time.
Moxibustion was also applied by lighting a smokeless moxa cigar and placing it into a moxibustion box. The box was then used to heat the acupoints for thirty minutes in a hovering motion. The researchers examined the clinical data and determined that the improvement proved that acupuncture plus moxibustion is effective for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Eliminate Fibroids The Natural Way with Care Cure Acupuncture

The section below explains how the condition of the liver channel is connected with uterine fibroids.  Your liver regulates the blood in your body – in other words we say in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that the liver has been given the function of storing blood in the body, regulating blood flow and preventing blood overflow.   I.               Storage of Blood Blood from the liver glorifies and nourishes the body’s meridians (channels which flow through the body) and it also nourishes your fingers/toes nails and eyes. If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision. If your nails do not get enough blood supply, they will be...

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the...
