Acupuncture is one of the most common Chinese medicine practices in the Western world due to the positive effects it has on patients who suffer from a range of issues – from long-term, chronic pain, headaches, migraines, and muscle spasms, to allergies, insomnia, poor circulation and even certain autoimmune diseases.
Although often used interchangeably, dry needling is a term that denotes an Eastern medicine practice different from acupuncture. As a part of this treatment, the Chinese medicine practitioner uses short filiform needles that are inserted in specific trigger points in the body without injecting any fluids. At SportsTec Clinic, we recommend dry needling to patients who are recovering from sports injuries, muscle pain and spasms.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a pain-free and efficient way of achieving a more fresh and youthful look. It involves the use of thin needles that are strategically placed on your face to trigger elastin and collagen production. What made this treatment increasingly popular in recent years is the fact that it gives a much more natural result than a face lift or any other anti-aging surgical treatment.
Still, note that it is possible to turn to our practitioners even if you wish to undergo only one of the above listed Chinese medicine treatments, and not just as an additional healing method. You can get in touch at any time to discuss your needs and options that we offer. Our staff are happy to connect you to our Chinese medicine practitioner who will explain in greater detail what they can help you with and whether the treatments will be beneficial in your case.
