Health Conditions

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is an effective therapy for a variety of health conditions. Below, we have listed the most common conditions that we treat. If your condition is not listed, please contact us to discuss how we can help!

1. Acute and Chronic Pain

   Pain is one of the most common reasons people receive acupuncture. Whether you have an acute or chronic condition, acupuncture can help to reduce pain, relieve inflammation, and speed the healing of your injury.

2. Chronic Headaches and Migraines

   Chronic headaches and migraines can be severely disabling for the affected individuals. Through a series of regular treatments, these painful episodes can be reduced in frequency, severity, and duration.

3. Emotional Disorders

   The difficulties of psychological stress can often manifest as anxiety, depression, or other emotional disorders. Acupuncture and herbal therapy can help to “unwind” the mind, allowing your emotions to settle back into your normal self.

4. Insomnia and Fatigue

   Sleep is perhaps the greatest restorative treatment for your health. Overtime, insomnia depresses our bodily functions and leads to fatigue. During acupuncture treatment, patients often reach a state of deep sleep that helps their bodies retrain proper sleeping patterns.

5. Digestive Disorders

   Our digestion is a key indicator of our internal health. Whether you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, or simple diarrhea and constipation, acupuncture and herbs can help to harmonize the digestion and improve your overall health.

6. Woman’s Care

   Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be helpful in a variety of female disorders, including PMS, dysmenorrhea (cramps), menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings), and infertility.

7. Allergies and Respiratory Disorders

   Respiratory disorders, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and the common cold, are treated with a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine to relieve symptoms and normalize respiratory function.

8. Addiction and Smoking Cessation

   An established ear acupuncture protocol, developed by the National Acupuncture Detox Association, is used to decrease cravings and withdrawal symptoms during detox treatments for nicotine, alcohol, and other addictive substances.

9. Cosmetic Enhancement

   Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments (facial rejuvenation acupuncture or an “acupuncture facelift”) uses superficial needles on the face to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Weight loss treatments can also assist in increasing the metabolism and reducing hunger.
