Electro-Acupuncture

A relatively new procedure that was introduced in the 1950’s. Electro-acupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. The needles are attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses utilizing small clips. The frequency and intensity of the impulse can be adjusted depending on the condition being treated. Opt for acupuncture in Nassau County, NY and ensure your overall wellbeing.

Ear Acupuncture

The stimulation of acupuncture points on the ear surface. Research found that maps of the body exist on the surface of the brain. This same brain map is also projected onto different areas of the body, called “microsystems,” and is particularly precise on the ear. Small botanic seeds that adhered to various points on the ear are very effective for extended treatment results. There are ear acupuncture points for anxiety relief as well.

Cupping Therapy

An ancient form of holistic medicine in which suction is created on a localized area of the skin. Generally, cupping is combined with acupuncture, but it can also be utilized as a stand-alone treatment. This technique mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. Cupping is also used to relieve respiratory conditions, back and neck pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even reduce cellulite. Cupping Therapy can help stay away from such problems. Contact us for cupping therapy in Nassau County.

Moxibustion

A Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small spongy herb, over acupuncture points to facilitate healing. When administering moxibustion, the patient will experience a pleasant heating sensation that penetrates deep into the skin but should not experience any pain, blistering, or scarring. This technique has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years. Research conclude Moxibustion increases white blood cells that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

Tuina / Acupressure

A traditional Chinese massage that involves applying pressure with ones fingers, palm, or hand in place of needles at very specific points on the body. This relaxing and energizing technique promotes healing and restores the body to its proper function by focusing on the specific problem, whether it’s acute or chronic. Although mostly associated with joints, muscles or the skeletal system it may be used as a needle-free treatment. technique an also complements an acupuncture treatment and is a great self-healing tool that can be easily learned be patients.

TDP/Far-Infrared Therapy

Far-infrared is very similar to moxibustion without the smoke and smell. The lamp’s therapeutic wavelength allows heat to penetrate much deeper than other forms of heat, which enables a more thorough and extensive stimulation of local circulation.

Herbal Therapy

The use of plant, animal and mineral parts for healing dates back thousands of years to ancient China where herbs were used to address a wide range of diseases and disorders. Herbs are used to enhance the effects of treatment between acupuncture sessions. In our acupuncture for sciatica pain treatment, we use different types of herbal therapies.
