Potential Herbal Therapy for COVID-19 (and any acute viral infection)
I wanted to mention in this time of fear and anxiety with viral quarantines and such, my experience using an herb to treat acute viral infections. I have used this herb for all...
Is acupuncture in the neck safe?
Yes, provided your practitioner is fully trained in acupuncture and has a master's degree level training and/or at least 10 years experience. I don't do many needles in the neck READ MORE
Yes, provided your practitioner is fully trained in acupuncture and has a master's degree level training and/or at least 10 years experience. I don't do many needles in the neck normally and would probably not put a single needle in that area if you came to my office seeking acupuncture to treat it. But that's just my philosophy. You might want to look into finding a practitioner versed in Richard Tan's methods.
What are the benefits of acupuncture for generalized anxiety disorder?
I have seen it do wonders and completely take away symptoms. The more medications you are taking, the slower the response and more treatments necessary, if it will help. But READ MORE
I have seen it do wonders and completely take away symptoms. The more medications you are taking, the slower the response and more treatments necessary, if it will help. But yes, i encourage you to try it!
How should I feel after my first acupuncture treatment?
Impossible to predict as most people are seriously afraid of needles when they come in until they experience one and see they are very different than any frame of reference experientially READ MORE
Impossible to predict as most people are seriously afraid of needles when they come in until they experience one and see they are very different than any frame of reference experientially they have had before. Some patients are able to relax, and some other patients need a few treatments to be able to relax. Usually, when people relax, you feel a little relaxation buzz afterwards. Some, this takes getting comfortable a few treatments later to experience. But that is the goal...eventually.
Can a fever be treated with acupuncture?
I can not point to any study to demonstrate that it works, but I have treated people with acute viral infections causing fever with great success and expedited healing time.
Can acupuncture help with lung pain?
It might. I would certainly try acupuncture for it. Give it 3-5 treatments before evaluating whether it is working for you.
Does acupuncture lower stress about covid-19?
Acupuncture is a GREAT stress management/relief system, so yes!
Can acupuncture help with energy levels?
I have seen it improve energy levels in patients with fybromialgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and somnolence, so yes, I think it is safe to say it would likely help you.
How long are acupuncture needles left in?
Depends on the practitioner, but usually between pulled right out, to 15-25 minutes, to 45 minutes for ears and some specific points (8 extraordinary vessels treatments).
How do you know if acupuncture is working?
Your symptoms should change/go away. You should feel super relaxed, almost like a stoned feeling, after treatments. We are not all created equally though... and if you have given READ MORE
Your symptoms should change/go away. You should feel super relaxed, almost like a stoned feeling, after treatments. We are not all created equally though... and if you have given a practitioner 3 treatments and seen zero improvement, then maybe find a new one to try. Or, it could be that something is physically out of alignment... and acupuncture alone won't fix that by itself.
How many sessions of acupuncture do you need for neck pain?
I couldn't give you a good estimate without knowing your personal health history... but usually anywhere from 5-20 treatments if it will help.
Can acupuncture cause miscarriage in early pregnancy?
Theoretically, yes. There are several points contraindicated for use during pregnancy, but in my experience, only weak pregnancies that were already high risk of miscarriage can READ MORE
Theoretically, yes. There are several points contraindicated for use during pregnancy, but in my experience, only weak pregnancies that were already high risk of miscarriage can be induced via acupuncture to stimulate miscarriage. I still would not use the contraindicated points on a strong pregnancy. In ancient China, these points would be used to terminate pregnancies when the developing child was sick or damaged.
That being said... many practitioners will not work with a new patient who is pregnant for legal reasons--anything that goes wrong usually gets blamed on the "witch doctor," one of the labels people in my field are given that I actually like.
I do personally work with new patients who are pregnant so I differ in that respect.

Can acupuncture needles be left in too long?
Some practitioners use needles in the ears that remain in for days. I do not. I assume that is not specifically what you were asking about though. Usually 45 minutes is the longest READ MORE
Some practitioners use needles in the ears that remain in for days. I do not. I assume that is not specifically what you were asking about though. Usually 45 minutes is the longest needles are retained in the body in my experience, but even I have left a needle in a patient and no one has ever been harmed to my best understanding.
What should you not do before acupuncture?
Consume alcohol. Definite no no. That's about all I have for you that jumps to the top of my head.
Why does acupuncture hurt sometimes?
I don't mean to be flippant in answering you, but... someone is putting sharp needles into your body. Some are going to be sensitive. Most are not. Often times in my experience, READ MORE
I don't mean to be flippant in answering you, but... someone is putting sharp needles into your body. Some are going to be sensitive. Most are not. Often times in my experience, the more a person needs a point stimulated, the more ouchy the points tend to be... so this often gets much less painful with regular balancing treatments.... and hurts the worst in the beginning.
How long does it take for acupuncture to work for stress?
Impossible question to accurately answer. Everyone is an individual with a unique set of imbalances... and that is why our medicine is so effective--it is always tailored to the READ MORE

How long do the effects of acupuncture last for anxiety?
I use the following analogy:
If you go to the beach, where the waves break, and jam a broomstick into the sand, how long before the waves knock it over? The waves are the stresses READ MORE
I use the following analogy:
If you go to the beach, where the waves break, and jam a broomstick into the sand, how long before the waves knock it over? The waves are the stresses of life -- poor nutrition, not enough sleep, inadequate hydration, toxic exposure, etc. Acupuncture doesn't change the waves, only you do or have the ability to. So, the next treatment, we push it a little deeper in the sand...and the waves take longer to knock it over, but they will, eventually, because that's life (C'est la vie!). As such, I don't know how strong your waves are or how deeply embedded in the sand your balance from acupuncture is. Best practice -- keep going once a month at least to maintain the balance. Our medicine is intended not just to fix problems, but to maintain health.

Can acupuncture regulate metabolism?
It can help...not sure fully though. In my experience, diet is the most important thing with weight loss.
Where do you put acupuncture needles for anxiety?
I practice a unique system passed down from teacher to student for centuries. You could literally go to 10 different acupuncturists and get 10 different point prescriptions. And READ MORE

Does acupuncture help swollen knees?
I treated a post-operative geriatric patient with swelling and lack of mobility and it responded in 2 treatments (complaint was couldn't climb stairs without pain). Nothing works READ MORE
I treated a post-operative geriatric patient with swelling and lack of mobility and it responded in 2 treatments (complaint was couldn't climb stairs without pain). Nothing works 100% of the time, but I would try it if I were you.
