What we do

The use of acupuncture for pain relief is gaining more acceptance in America. By inserting needles into specific acupuncture points in the body, the nervous system is stimulated to release natural painkillers such as endorphins, cortisol, and ACTH in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These substances can alleviate pain or trigger the release of other hormones that influence the body's internal regulatory system. Some of these natural pain relievers are 50 to 100 times more potent than many prescription drugs. Acupuncture promotes the body's natural healing abilities and enhances physical and emotional well-being by improving energy and biochemical balance. In 1997, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) officially recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for various conditions, including low back pain, tennis elbow, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, headaches, menstrual cramps, and myofascial pain.

Acupuncture helps regulate the body's systems, aiding in blood flow to the reproductive organs and stabilizing hormone levels. This, in turn, increases ovarian function in women and sperm production in men. Used as a complementary form of therapy for women undergoing other fertility treatments, acupuncture has been proven to be particularly beneficial. Some believe that acupuncture works by helping women stay more relaxed during stressful fertility treatments. Specifically, studies have shown that acupuncture significantly increases the pregnancy rate in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). In a study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the VU University Amsterdam, it was discovered that acupuncture administered at the same time the embryo was placed inside the womb during an IVF procedure more than doubled the chance of pregnancy for the woman.

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine that involves creating local suction on the skin, which stimulates blood flow and aids in the healing of various medical conditions. It is used to treat blood disorders like anemia and hemophilia, rheumatic diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, fertility and gynecological disorders, skin problems like eczema and acne, high blood pressure (hypertension), migraines, anxiety and depression, bronchial congestion caused by allergies and asthma, varicose veins, and to reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body. Additionally, it promotes mental and physical relaxation as well as overall well-being.
