Acupuncture and neck pain

Neck pain and shoulder stiffness are very common problems—so common, in fact, that the expression “a pain in the neck”, is an often-used figure of speech.

Neck pain and shoulder stiffness can have a variety of causes, with continuous mechanical strain, constant stress, and trauma being the most frequently cited. Keeping your head in an awkward position can cause your neck muscles to fatigue, circulation in the tissues to diminish, and the joints to “lock” in place. This is a very common occurrence in office workers who sit in front of a computer and type for extensive periods of time. Trauma can cause a “whiplash” syndrome, with the muscles in your neck going into permanent spasm and causing pain and a limited range of motion. Acupuncture are very effective in treating neck pain caused by whiplash.

Constant stress is also a common factor in neck/shoulder stiffness and pain. Being under constant stress causes the sympathetic nervous system to become hypersensitive, like always being in the “flight or fight” mode. As many of us tend to “hold” much of our stress in the upper body, neck and shoulders, this can cause constant muscle spasm, a corresponding lack of circulation and nutrition to the tissues, leading to neck and shoulder pain and stiffness.

A Chinese medical approach to neck and shoulder stiffness and pain addresses both the mechanical and emotional aspects. With acupuncture, generally three to five treatments over a short period of time (2 – 4 weeks) are sufficient to effect substantial results. Results are quicker and better for cases involving trauma and/or whiplash the sooner the treatments can begin after the event.

Our staff in clinic can help to submit the treatment plan and direct billing process with the Auto insurance companies or WSIB or some of the personal work insurance companies,  so that you can focus on your treatments and the process of getting better.

5 Time Tested Ways to Dissolve Stress

Most of us can attest to the fact that stress is reaching epidemic proportions in modern society. Balancing work, family, health, money, etc. is a challenge that many of us feel ill equipped to face. Eighty percent of the doctor visits in our country are stress related. Our quality of life and health is largely determined by how we adapt and relate to daily stressors. Excessive stress not only takes its toll on our bodies, but strips the joy out of life and suppresses our creative instincts. Without physical health, joy, and creativity, life is scarcely worth living. Dissolving stress is certainly possible, but takes a commitment to making lifestyle choices that create balance throughout our lives. Here are a few ancient techniques for eliminating stress, increasing energy, and creating emotional balance. These are some of the most powerful tools we have for achieving optimal health and preventing future disease.

1) Meditation:

Practiced for thousands of years in many Asian cultures, meditation has long been recognized as one of the most powerful tools we have for cultivating peace of mind and balance. Numerous studies have proven the incredibly positive effect that meditation has on stress reduction. There are literally hundreds of meditation techniques taught around the world. For beginners, the most helpful approach is to start with basic mindfulness techniques that develop both relaxation and alertness. Once a basic ground of awareness has been stabilized, then more advanced meditation practices can be undertaken. Meditation is a practice that helps us identify with stillness and silence. It cultivates intuition and surrender. It can deeply help just about anybody, but is truly a miraculous practice for reducing stress and anxiety. If you want help getting started, click here to get some information on Kevin's guided meditation CD, Meditation: Mindfulness Practice for Beginners.

2) Yoga:

This ancient practice has also been utilized by millions of people throughout history. Yoga is typically considered a form of meditation that involves putting the body into a variety of poses in combination with deep breathing to induce mental clarity, increased energy, and physical strength and flexibility. The healing benefits of yoga have been repeatedly documented by a variety of clinical studies. There are many forms of yoga and it is best to experiment to determine which form feels the most helpful for your needs. I highly recommend combining yoga with sitting meditation, as they work synergistically to induce deep states of relaxation.

3) Acupuncture:

One of the pillars of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture has been practiced for at least 2,500 years. Perhaps one of the last truly holistic forms of healthcare remaining on the planet, acupuncture works with the Qi (life force ) of the body in order to induce a variety of therapeutic effects. The safety and efficacy of this practice are well documented which accounts for its incredible surge in popularity in the Western world. Acupuncture is considered one of the most powerful treatment options for stress reduction. Only seek acupuncture treatment from licensed acupuncturists ( as opposed to chiropractors or MD’s who practice acupuncture).

4) Herbal medicine:

There are a variety of both Chinese and Western herbal formulas that have been clinically proven to reduce stress and create emotional balance. Herbs are much less concentrated than pharmaceuticals, which is why they have far less side effects (but can still be as effective). If you are interested in this treatment option, many acupuncturists can skillfully prescribe herbal formulas. This is recommended over buying herbs over the counter with little knowledge of their intended usage.

5) Nutrition:

 Eating a diet high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and low glycemic carbohydrates can go a long way toward healing stress. The standard American diet (high in processed foods, saturated fat, sugar, and transfats) has been linked to anxiety, depression, and increased stress in numerous studies. Change your diet to an organic, whole foods approach and both your body and mind will reward you beyond measure. Poor adaptability to stress is often a sign that our brains are starving for nutrients that we aren’t getting from our standard American diets.

Making these lifestyle changes may not be easy in the initial phases. It is often helpful to seek out the support of a health care practitioner to guide you through these transitions. Once you start feeling the enormous payoff of making such changes, there truly is no turning back. Your stress will dissolve, your weight will decrease, and your energy will skyrocket, not to mention the preventative measures you are taking for heart health. Isn’t that enough to warrant making a few changes?

Acupuncture and Natural Therapies for Migraine Headaches

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have enjoyed a long and successful history of treating a wide variety of headache patterns. Migraine headaches currently affect around half a million Canadians. The cause of migraines eludes many of its sufferers. Certain foods have been identified as triggers. Stress, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances have also been found to play a role. Many people with migraines feel hopeless, as they have tried conventional medications such as imitrex without good effect.

In Chinese medicine, migraines have a few different causes. The number one pattern underlying migraines is liver qi stagnation. This means that the functional energy of the liver becomes stuck and hyperactive. This is usually due to pent up anger or a chronic inability to express one’s emotions. Liver related headaches tend to run along the temples, as the gall bladder meridian, which is closely connected with the liver, travels through this area.

Another cause of migraine headaches is kidney deficiency which is synonymous with adrenal fatigue. This pattern is due to overwork, excessive will power, and the misuse of one’s ambition. When this is the predominant pattern, one will experience migraines when they are resting. They work hard all week and run on adrenaline, then collapse on the weekend and get a migraine. The bladder meridian, which is closely associated with the kidney meridian, runs along the nape of the neck. This is the primary origin of headaches due to a kidney deficient pattern.

Acupuncture is certainly worth pursuing as a powerful treatment option for migraines. The typical course of treatment in our practice is once to twice a week for 6-8 visits, at which time we will assess where to go from there. Acupuncture is usually a deeply relaxing experience that optimizes one’s overall level of health. It has no side effects.

Below is a migraine patient's comment on Feb.29,2016 on our facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/OrientalAcupuncture

OTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS

For most migraine sufferers, reducing stress plays a crucial role in healing this condition. Regular massage and acupressure or Yoga and meditation can be incredibly helpful practices in this regard. These practices help to restore circulation through movement, awareness, and deep breathing. Many people with chronic pain have been able to heal their symptoms using these techniques alone.

Basic dietary considerations:

• Give up caffeine and alcohol for 2 months and look for improvement in symptoms
• Drink 8 glasses of filtered water daily. Dehydration plays an integral role in many headache patterns
• Avoid inflammatory foods: sugars, refined carbs
• Eat plenty of organic fruits and vegetables
• Eliminate high trigger foods such as chocolate, avocado, coffee, and peanuts for a period of time

With the right combination of treatments and a strong commitment to improved health, most patients respond very well to the Chinese acupuncture treatment of migraines.

Do not Let the painkillers kill you slowly

Last night when I worked at Walmart pharmacy, a middle-aged African woman, about 50 years old, came to buy AC & C with 325mg aspirin, 15mg caffeine, 8mg codiene per pill for her migraine pain. This medication don't need  a doctor's prescription, but you can only get it behind the counter with the pharmacist's consent. A bottle of AC&C has 200 pills and she asked for 2 bottles. So the pharmacist told her that's the last bottle. Pharmacists told me that this kind of medication is not allowed to buy so many at one time. so I told this lady that it was the last bottle,  she started complaining "I bought 3 bottles at shoppers last time, why your pharmacist don't want to sell it to me," I told her that taking a painkiller has a lot of side effect , why you need so many of the painkillers? " she said," I have very bad migraine since 1998, also arthritis,I have tried so many different painkillers and also saw different doctors and specialists, no way to let this stupid pain go away, only this AC & C can help to kill the pain ,why don't  you let me buy extra bottle, so save me another trip. " 


I asked her, "Have you ever tried acupuncture?" she said "No,I have never tried it, will acupuncture help?" I told her that you can try, at least no any side effect, and not like the painkillers only kill the pain temporary, acupuncture actually can cure your illnesses, healing from the root beyond treating symptoms...so you can experience better health and well-being. I also mentioned to her that  a case of Jarry Liu(Chinese Acupuncturist since 1989) last month, a middle-aged Vietnamese lady with chronic tough back pain, leg pain for nine years,  after six sections acupuncture treatments by Jarry Liu, the pain totally gone. so she let her husband to come to see Jarry for his low back pain. After she heard about this, she felt much better and asked me for Jarry's business cards, I gave her one, which pleased her so much.She kept saying to me "Thank You! God Bless you, I'll call and make an appointment with Jarry" she left with her big smile ... "You are welcome, my dear, Do not Let the painkillers kill you slowly "

Acupuncture Natural Treatment Options for Arthritis

Approximately 4 million Canadians have been diagnosed with arthritis. Many of these people are being treated with Western medications such as steroids and anti-inflammatories, while many others’ symptoms are left untreated, as they do not want to pursue conventional Western treatment options.

In Jarry Liu(R.ac/RMT) 26 years clinical practice, he has worked with people with all forms of arthritis and he has helped many of them get rid off of pain killers and steroids. This is possible by using a combination of acupuncture, cupping, nutritional supplements, and possibly techniques such as yoga or meditation. Our patients are always pleased when we can use natural therapies for pain management because they do not have any side effects, unlike most of the Western medications for pain relief, which can cause a host of complications. Many of these medications weaken the body over time, which, in our opinion, causes premature aging and general debility. 

Below are several natural herbal and nutritional supplements that have proven effective in overcoming the pain and inflammation of arthritis. It is always best to seek out the services of a healthcare professional if you are interested in using these products.

Nutritional Supplements 

• Fish Oil: Taking a high quality essential fatty acid complex can be very helpful for reducing pain and inflammation and increasing synovial fluid in the joints. Fish oil can also help any depression that accompanies the chronic pain. Start with 3,000mg daily.
• SAMe: This is a naturally occurring metabolite found in the human body and plants. The active ingredient is methionine. SAMe has been shown to alleviate depression, reduce appetite, and improve neurotransmitter synthesis and receptor binding. I will often use SAMe when there is a combination of depression and chronic pain, as it reduces inflammation and regenerates joint tissue. It is excellent for both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Start with 200 mg early in the day on an empty stomach, increase to up to 1,000 mg over a period of a few weeks as needed.
• MSM: 2 grams daily prevent cartilage breakdown
• Vitamins and Minerals: Key nutrients that manufacture synovial fluid are vitamins A, B complex, C, D, and E. Calcium, selenium, magnesium, and zinc are also crucial. Vitamins C and D are most important for nourishing bones and connective tissue.
• Cetyl myristoleate: This is a form of fatty acid that has extraordinary qualities for joint lubrication. It needs to be taken constantly at a dosage of 500-1000mg/day. It is useful for both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. 

• Evening Primrose Oil: This wonderful herb has been found to reverse cases of mild to moderate arthritis.
   

Nutrition

The following basic dietary tips will be very helpful for managing the symptoms of arthritis:  

• Start eating an organic whole foods diet that is rich in fish, chicken, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. This diet is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.
• Avoid refined sugars and carbohydrates: These foods promote inflammation and pain and weaken digestion and vitality.
• Avoid synthetic additives and sweeteners and genetically modified foods.
• Avoid coffee and alcohol: Both of these are irritants to the liver, colon, and stomach. They can exacerbate pain and emotional ups and downs. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the greatest therapies available for healing arthritis. It has been clinically proven to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and trigger the rest and restore mode of the nervous system. Acupuncture should be painless and deeply relaxing.  Jarry Liu (Chinese acupuncturist since 1989) recommends getting 2-3 times weekly treatment for 6-8 weeks for chronic arthritis, then assessing for progress.

分说“王氏二十一罐疗法”（1）

王氏真空罐疗法是王老师和200多位中医界专业人士经过20多年研究，2万多例患者临床实践证明的一种极为有效的物理治疗方法，被媒体誉为‘对人类健康的贡献’,是世界中医药学会五年力推项目。它的优势在于：完全物理治疗无副作用；把复杂的治疗过程简单化，易学易懂，操作方便；治疗成本低；治疗病种多，效果快。
“王氏真空反射疗法”有三大功能：加强脑供血；增强免疫力；调整内分泌。

本文就加强脑供血这项功能加以介绍。 其作用：调整心律，增强冠状动脉血流量，加速静脉血液回流，降低大循环阻力；减轻心脏负担，调整肌肉与内脏血流量及储备的分布情况，反射性地影响全身血流变化；由大循环的加强，直接带动脑供血的加强。其现场表现是：治疗前面部皮肤青灰色，无光干燥者20分钟治疗后明显细白，红润，光泽；头痛，头晕者症状马上消失或明显缓解；视力不佳者有明显改善(不论近视或老花)；面部肌肉松弛，眼皮下垂，黑眼圈，眼袋，面斑者拔2-5次后明显变化，使人更显年轻。脑供血的加强使得大脑的营养与氧气得到及时补充，同时脑部组织的杀菌抗炎能力和修复能力也得到加强（因为它们都是靠血液循环来完成的）。因此该疗法对失眠，耳鸣，耳聋，颈椎综合症，脑萎缩，老年痴呆，粉刺，溢泪症及肿瘤等脑部疾病都有立竿见影的治疗效果。

王老师认为人的健康就在于血通，血液循环到位，人体各部“零件”和功能就到位。“王氏真空反射疗法”治疗原则就是：大面积强行疏通，‘通则不痛，痛则不通’。

分说“王氏二十一罐疗法”（2）

王氏真空罐疗法是王瑾老师和200多位中医界专业人士经20多年研究，2万多患者临床实践证明的一种极为有效的物理治疗方法，被媒体誉为‘对人类健康的贡献’。 是世界中医药学会五年力推项目。它有三大功能：1）加强脑供血；2）增强免疫力；3）调整内分泌。

本文就增强免疫力功能加以介绍。真空拔罐能机械刺激皮肤和血管，通过皮肤和血管将这种刺激反射到大脑皮层及中枢神经并使其兴奋，从而加强了大脑皮层对身体各部位的调节及管制，使皮肤及内脏组织代谢旺盛，吞噬作用增强，形成新的防护体系。这一新的防护体系的主要物质是：总数已增加的白细胞和红细胞，以及已明显增强了的白细胞吞噬能力及血清中补体效价。

白细胞可分三种：中性粒细胞具有变形运动和吞噬活动的能力，是机体对抗入侵病菌，特别是急性化脓性细菌的最重要的防卫系统。当中性粒细胞数显著减少时，机体发生感染的机会明显增高。嗜酸性粒细胞具有趋化性，能吞噬搞原体复合物，减轻机体的损害，并能对抗组织胺等致炎因子的作用。嗜碱性粒细胞内含组织胺、肝素与5-羟色胺等生物活性物质，在抗原-抗体反应时释放出来。在吞噬抗原后将所携带的抗原决定簇转交给淋巴细胞，诱导淋巴细胞的特异性免性反应，这种特异性免性反应是对付细胞内致病细菌和寄生虫的主要细胞防卫系统，它具有识别并杀伤肿瘤细胞的能力。

真空拔罐后血液中产生的杀菌抗炎物质和自溶现象产生的类组织胺，随血液周流全身，刺激各个器官，因此对经常性感冒，紫外线过敏，过敏性鼻炎，荨麻疹，类风湿，细菌性痢疾，前列腺炎，急慢性肠胃炎，泌尿系感染，带状疱疹等疾病有显著疗效。

咨询电话416-655-1311

在谈到真空罐疗法的原理时，王老师强调指出，现代医学研究认为，真空拔罐治疗时，罐内形成较强的真空负压，致使局部毛细血管充血，扩张，甚至破裂。由于红细胞破裂，出现自体溶血现象，使表皮紫黑，随即产生一种类组胺物质，随体液周流全身，刺激各个器官，增强身体功能活力，并提高机体的抵抗力。同时这种刺激反射到中枢神经系统，调节兴奋和抑制过程，使之趋于平衡。加强身体自我调节和内分泌，以及白细胞的吞噬能力，从而促进疾病逐渐痊愈。

王老师举了一则病例说明真空罐疗法之原理和疗效。不久前，43岁的韩女士来求诊。王老师在其背部拔了十一个真空负压罐具。十分种后，根据罐口的的温度，颜色，硬度和湿度等症状断定，她患有严重的月经不调，每次例假时间短，量甚少，伴有剧烈的肚子痛，茶饭不思，不能正常工作和走动。近年来又患有高血压，颈椎病和坐骨神经痛。据韩女士介绍，近来她头昏脑胀，精神恍惚，浑身疼痛，真有生不如死的感觉。根据病情，王老师在“王氏二十一罐疗法”的基础上，重点针对她的月经不调，高血压和颈椎疼痛等病情，在几十个穴位上拔罐，走罐和留罐，治疗三天之后，韩女士病情明显好转，月经渐趋正常，肚子也不痛了，血压逐步降低，颈椎疼痛消失，腿脚轻松了许多。治疗十次之后，身体大致康复。韩女士重新穿上久违了的漂亮连衣裙和高跟鞋，开始描眉画唇了。她告诉我们，真空拔罐治疗后好像有重生的感觉。

腰腿痛为临床常见病症，真空拔罐疗法操作简单，对于防止和缓解腰腿痛有明显作用，对于陈旧性腰腿痛亦有巩固疗效，保障活动功能的作用。祖国医学认为真空拔罐可以温经散寒，活血通络，舒筋止痛；现代医学则认为由于真空罐内负压对局部具有机械的吸引作用，可使局部组织充血，甚至瘀血毛细血管破裂，引起血管溶血现象，对机体起着良性刺激作用。曾有多名腰腿痛患者，来时行走困难，经真空罐疗一到两个疗程后，腰腿痛感明显减轻，行走已与常人无异。

"对治疗颈椎病，肩周炎，真空拔罐是最好的办法。真空罐疗法能迅速减缓疼痛，3-5次治疗即可临床治愈。”王老师向我们述说了大卫先生的治疗过程。他说，半个月之前，年愈花甲的多伦多退休会计师大卫先生前来求诊。由于长期伏案工作，天天使用电脑，加上过度肥胖，身体巨重，大卫的颈椎，肩周部位疼痛异常。我们在相关经络和穴位上走罐和留罐达45枚之多，还在其发僵发硬的位置上加强治疗，从中吸出不少黑血和黄水。第一次治疗后，大卫的疼痛大为缓解，经过一疗程的真空罐疗，大卫先生已经能轻松地运动和行走。他说，中国的真空罐疗堪称世界自然疗法之一绝。

病例：不久前，43岁的吴先生幕名求诊。他常年患头痛。平日里睡多了头痛，睡少了也头痛，患病时头部剧痛，恨不得以头撞墙，经常泪流满面，有时连死的心都有了。王老师通过罐诊确定，吴先生患的是严重的颈椎病，颈椎3-4节骨质增生，大椎水肿，从而压迫颈部和头部神经，引致头痛。根据病情，王老师在其颈肩和头部强化治疗，吸出不少淤血和黄水。经过三次治疗，吴先生的头痛明显好转；到第五次治疗后，颈椎病和头痛症基本痊愈。吴先生现在又恢复了患病前舒适幸福的生活。

治电脑病和真空罐疗美容当场见效

谈到真空罐疗美容，王老师说，中医传统理论认为，人的脸部皮肤有恙，多因经络不通，气血阻滞所致。真空拔罐美容能当场见效，迅速使脸部皮肤细白，光滑红润，美丽动人。还能迅速去黑眼圈，去痘去粉刺，瘦削脸部，疏通头部经络，疏导气血，促进排毒和新陈代谢。能长时间保持血液流动畅通。这才是由里及外，治根治本的美容良方。

Acupuncture and Natural Therapies for Sciatica

一针二灸三用药

《黄帝内经》说：“用药如用兵，不得已而为之。药能治病，亦能致病。是药都有毒，有利必有弊……”又说：“一剂药，七服，病好或病不好，不再服。再服则伤气伤血伤脏……”还说：“善治者，治皮毛，内务大病，病在皮毛，首选外治，慎言内调。”

意思是说，用药治病如同用兵器退敌，不得已的情况下才使用兵器。用药得当，药能治病，用药不当，药能杀人，是药物都是有毒性的，有利就有弊端……用药物治病，七服药，无论见效不见效不要再服用。多服则伤人身心。真正高明的医生，是从外在的皮毛治病的，所有的重大疾病，在外在的皮毛上都能找到治疗疾病突破口，治疗应该首先从外部治疗内部大病，不要动不动就吃药内调。

《中国药典》说：“目前，造成医源性疾病和药源性疾病的患者越来越多，即所谓‘医药公害’。这就是“为什么医院越来越多，疾病越治越多，医院的大楼越盖越高”的原因之一。

因此传统中医的非药物疗法(灸法、针法、推经点穴法、刺血法、刮法、罐法…)成为无药治病之术的根本大法。”

神医扁鹊说：“医之治病用灸，如煮菜需薪，今人不能治大病，良由不知灸艾故也。世有百余种大病，不用灸艾，如何救得性命，劫得病回?”

意思是：“高明的医生治疗疾病使用艾灸疗法，如同煮饭要用火。现在的医疗手段对慢性病、疑难病、危重病难以奏效，完全是由于医家不了解艾灸疗法，不会用艾灸疗法的原因。世间有太多太多的慢性病、疑难病、危重病……不懂艾灸，不会使用艾灸疗法，怎么解除病痛，怎么能救人性命?”

如肿瘤、伤寒、疽疮、中风、肿胀、泄泻、久痢、喉痹、小儿急慢惊风、痘疹黑陷、慢支、三高、贫血症、哮喘、大三阳、银屑病、癫痫等诸多中药、西药难以见效症，使用艾灸疗法是最好的治疗方法。

“若灸迟，真气已脱，虽灸亦无用矣;若能早灸，自然阳气不绝，性命坚牢。又世俗用灸，不过三五十壮，殊不知去小疾则愈，驻命根则难。”

意思是说：许多大病，旧病，慢性病、要命的病等如果不及时艾灸，等到元气虚脱耗尽之时，再来艾灸也没有效果了，来不及了;如果能早点艾灸，自然能给身体补充到阳气，可以保命了。世人使用艾灸三五十壮，就急着要求疗效，要痊愈，要健康，三五十壮只能痊愈轻微疾病，治疗大病、要命的疾病是远远不够的。

故《铜人针灸图经》云∶凡大病宜灸脐下五百壮。补接真气，即此法也。意思是说：治疗危机生命的大病，要施灸五百次才能补足元气，才能见效，才能保命。

《仲景毁灸法》云：“火气虽微，内攻有力，焦骨伤筋，血难复也。余观亘古迄今，何尝有灸伤筋骨而死者!彼盖不知灸法之妙故尔。”

《灵枢论》：“虚而至陷下，温补无功，借冰台以起陷下之阳耳。若仲景所言微数之脉，慎不可灸。脉而至于微矣，似有似无，则真阳已漓，又至于数矣，则真阴已竭，阴阳漓竭，灸亦无益。但有炎焰而无温存，宁不焦骨伤筋而血难复?非毁灸也。”

“以救己之心，推以救人。所谓见身说法，其言诚真，其心诚切，其论诚千古不磨之论，无如天下之不信何。”意思是说：以救治自己的心情救别人。用自己的亲身经历告诉患者，言语是真诚的，用真诚救人的心情救助别人，这个道理是千古不灭的真理，不怕天下人不相信。

《洪炉点雪》云：“凡男女老幼，虚实寒热，轻重远近，无所不宜，凡年深痼疾，非药力所能除，必借火力以功拔之。”

从以上可以看出，艾灸疗法既能治疗又能调理还能保健;既能适宜老人又能适宜婴幼儿;既能适宜病人又能适宜健康人。所以古大医大德说：“治病之要术，无过艾灸”……
