  • Sticky Zak acupuncture for chronic lower back pain case

    About back pain ,experts say that thanks to all those studies we know much more about what we don't know than about what we do know!

    We were actually amazed when we typed “causes of lower back pain” into the Google search box. Over 3,770,000 search results exist! By just glancing at the articles that pop up on the first page yields an enormous amount of facts and figures.but,the treatments aren't always effective. Acupuncture is without question one of the most powerful pain-altering modalities in the world. Its reputation for pain relief is known and respected internationally. It may be practiced successfully with a variety of procedures other than needles, including lasers, electronic and noninvasive stimulation devices for those who are needle-phobic and would not consider acupuncture otherwise. This 58-year-old female patient presented in February 2008, with severe pain of her lower back, right buttock, leg, and foot.The patient's pain began in February 2007, when she slipped on a cleaning in her home,after that,she has been many different treatment including phsiotherapy,osteopathy,chiropracitc,etc,but nothing worked,She also received hydrocodone bitartrate/acetaminophen, which provided minor relief but caused nausea.She described the pain as "cramping, burning, radiating, and squeezing." She said the pain was constant, with an intense ache in her lower back. Pain radiated hot across her hip and buttock, down the posterolateral aspect of her leg to the sole and top of her foot.She was unable to work because of intolerable pain. On physical examination, it was noted that flexion, extension and lateral movements of the spine were all completely normal. However, on palpation of the L4,L5 facet joint there was extreme tenderness, on the right more than the left, examination also showed decreased ankle reflex on the right side. After presentation at my clinic the patient enrolled in zak acupuncture,after first time treatment,patient was with little result. She carried on treatment and received deep and intensive acupuncture in lower back area for approximately 2 months,almost 10 acupuncture sessions in which she had a lot of thick needles put over the tender facet joints,and some regional acupuncture points. On the eleventh session, it was difficult to elicit the previous area of tenderness and the patient felt that the pain had completely resolved. Most low back pain is triggered by some combination of overuse, muscle strain, and injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine. Many experts believe that over time muscle strain can lead to an overall imbalance in the spinal structure. This leads to a constant tension on the muscles, ligaments, bones, and discs, making the back more prone to injury or reinjury.(readmore)Acupuncture is best solution for back pain relief as it is best for decrease inflammation and built up circulation to injuried tissue.

  • Sadness, Doctor even don't know acupuncture can help plantar fasciitis?

    Interesting story....from cantonrep.com

    Patient ask doctor why only three time acupuncture can help his plantar fasciitis? and his friends also suffered with this for years but don’t believe that acupuncture really works.

    Doctor said he have not heard of acupuncture helping the pain of plantar fasciitis.

    It's sad thing to know, please spend little time to read plenty articles about acupuncture help plantar fasciitis in this blog
    To understand treating sports injuries specific to plantar fascitis and/or plantar aponeurousitis is to understand jargon in both Western and Eastern arenas. Treating with TCM is extremely effective when applied in conjunction with TCM philosophy. The points and formulas are given as an example of what can possibly be used, not as the only method of use. There are a variety of points that can be combined when treating plantar conditions, along with a variety of herbal formula patents on the market. Acupuncture is like geometry. There are many different ways to develop your acupuncture prescription; the key is understanding which access route you choose and why, so you can modify your treatments accordingly.

  • Acupuncture is not effective...Because it is performed by a medical doctor, Really?

    You always heard this story....

    When acupuncture is performed by a medical doctor who is NOT licensed in acupuncture, you wont see the kind of results that you would get by going to a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.),The reason is because they do not have the proper training.

    Really?

    A medical doctor with 220 hours of acupuncture training or a licensed acupuncturist with 3,000 hours of acupuncture training?

    Yes,But, I don't think acupuncture's work just depend on 220 hours or 3000 hours training,Clinical experiences and understanding of conditions play main role in acupuncture treatment.Even you have been trained more than 3000 hours,you still have no idea about treatment without many years practice. So, who does better job, you know, I know , every body know.

    More practice, more understand.

  • Is Chinese Cupping Therapy always safe?

    Is Chinese Cupping Therapy always safe?

    Basically it is,but,nothing is 100%.Look this case from Taipei Medical University Hospital

    A 55-year-old, previously healthy man presented at our emergency department (ED) due to tingling and a painful sensation on his back after receiving cupping therapy while on his private airplane. Physical examination of the patient's back revealed multiple blisters within circular marks of differing sizes and varying shades of redness, petechiae, and ecchymosis.

    Redearcher conclusion: Although bleeding, erythema, edema, and ecchymosis are created on purpose to achieve acupuncture point microcirculation, complications such as burn injury and thrombocytopenia also have been reported.

    Take care!
