Acupuncture

The healing technique of acupuncture is founded on the principal that internal harmony is essential for good health. Fundamental for this harmony is the concept of chi (qi), the vital energy or life force that ebbs and flows with changes in a person's mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Chi is said to circulate through the body within 14 invisible channels called meridians, forming a network called the web of life.

A balanced, freely flowing chi is set to generate good health, while sluggish, blocked, or over-stimulated chi is believed to cause illness. Acupuncturists strive to encourage proper chi circulation by manipulating it at “chi gateways” just below the skin; the manipulation is achieved by inserting hair-thin needles at these gateways, which are more commonly known as acupoints. The stimulation enables a person to achieve internal harmony, a state that allows the body’s self-healing mechanisms to engage.

Acupuncture’s ultimate goal is to maximize the body’s own healing abilities. Studies have shown the effect of acupuncture in maintaining and restoring health. Licensed acupuncturists are trained to recognize internal disharmonies early, before it develops into an unhealthy disease.

cupping

Cupping is a simple and effective technique that is used to move the qi and blood in the body. This method uses heat in a cup to reduce internal pressure and produce a vacuum. When the cup is inverted onto the the surface of the skin, the skin will form a firm grip around the rim of the cup through suction, causing congestion/stagnation of the blood. With the glass cup, the magnitude of the vacuum and the level of congestion can monitored easily.

Cupping can be used to treat:

-headache, dizziness

-cough, asthma, common cold, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion,

-acute sprains or bleeding

-spasms, stagnant/congested blood

-pain and inflammation

Acupressure

Acupressure, shiatsu, and massages are modes of manipulating acu-points and soft tissue. These treatments activate the flow of qi, which results in relief of sore muscles and relaxation. Acupressure, shiatsu, and massages are performed with various standard hand strokes and pressure. They can lead to lower blood pressure and heart rate while improving respiration. Researchers believe acupressure and massage help the brain make endorphins. This explains why patients feel tranquil after an acupressure, shiatsu, or massage treatment. Acupressure is a safe and effective solution for treating various physical and mental ailments.

Herbal Therapy

Herbs are prepared from a wide variety of plant materials - frequently the leaves, stems, roots, and bark, but also the flower, fruits, twigs, seeds, and exudates. They contain biologically active ingredients and are typically used when treating chronic and mild conditions; however, herbal therapy is also a great supplement as dietary therapy.

Herbs can be of great value when used in a program of self-care and preventative medicine. Herbal formulas are recommended according to the symptoms and the individual constitution of the client. Herbal formulas can help heal a disorder and optimize overall body health. Studies show that investing in one's health with acupuncture and herbal therapy will prolong healthy organ functions, strengthen immune systems, prevent diseases and illnesses, improve mental well-being, and increase mental acuity.

Pain Management

Acunow LLC treats all kinds of pain using various methods like acupuncture and herbs. Acupuncture treats musculoskeletal pain, migraines, headaches, fibromyalgia, arthritis, premenstrual pain and more.

There is overwhelming evidence that acupuncture reduces pain by triggering the release of endorphins and other substances by various tissues. Acupuncture also stimulates the nervous system to release ACTH, a chemical that aids in fighting inflammation; prostaglandins, which are thought to help wounds heal faster; and other substances that may promote nerve regeneration.

Customized Yoga Therapy

Yoga aids in normalizing different functions of the body, relaxing muscles, calming the mind and increasing vital energy. Yoga helps in various ailments, including hormonal imbalances.
Yoga therapy can be used to supplement a regiment of acupuncture treatments or herbal therapy when treating a more serious illness, or it can be used as a preventative measure for reaching your optimum health. Yoga provides a safe, effective, holistic solution for psychological imbalances, an element which is often overlooked when treating total body health. Yoga also increases stamina and balance, both of which are important in curbing the aging process.

Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Ahmad has treated numerous patients with facial paralysis successfully. He uses the same techniques and concepts to rejuvenate the face with painless acupuncture. Dr. Ahmad concluded from his experience that if acupuncture can cure facial paralysis dramatically, then it could be used for non-surgical face-lifts and facial rejuvenation. Stimulation of vital points in the face increases collagen formation, muscular tone, blood circulation and vital energy in the face. It gives the face its natural beauty and glow.

Smoking Cessation Program

Numerous studies have proven that auricular acupuncture is one of most effective ways to stop smoking. Acupuncture is safe and effective. Our Smoking Cessation Program includes the use of acupuncture in controlling cravings and withdrawal symptoms and many of our patients have found acupuncture to aid in strengthening motivation and will-power.
