Some postnatal conditions that acupuncture can assist with are fatigue, postnatal depletion and depression, mastitis or insufficient lactation, abdominal cramps, constipation, haemorrhoids and perineal healing.
Pediatric Chinese Medicine
Pediatric Traditional Chinese Medicine primarily uses "Shoni Shin," a non-invasive, specialized form of treatment for infants and children. Shoni Shin directly translates as "children's needle" and was developed in Japan in the mid-1700s in the Osaka region. The beauty of working with children is how amazingly responsive they are with lighter stimulation than adults!
Restore Your Harmonious Self
Back Pain + ACC Injury
The necessity and prevalence of alternative treatments for pain management are becoming more and more important as people continue to seek-out non-invasive, safe, as well as effective ways to decrease acute or chronic pain levels. Acupuncture for sciatica, overall back pain, neck stiffness & migraines, has been proven to biochemically alter pain pathways to the brain by releasing neurotransmitters in the same way as western pain medication.
Anxiety + Stress Relief
Stress, although inevitable can lead to a wide range of health issues including worsened allergies, immune problems, mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, depression, etc. when left untreated for a prolonged period of time. Many pieces of research now validate the benefits of acupuncture treatments for stress relief. By lowering cortisol levels (stress hormone) and stimulating the production of our body’s natural feel-good hormones like serotonin.
Overall Health + Wellbeing
The intention is to keep you healthy. We usually visit the doctor when we are symptomatic/unwell. Rarely do we see a doctor to maintain our health or promote wellness. The modern western care model is treatment, rarely prevention. This is antithetical to the basis of Chinese Medicine. In ancient China, you paid your physician, who was an acupuncturist and a herbalist, only when you were healthy.
