Dietary changes are the number one thing to do. I hope that what you have selected is right for you. There are many schools of thought when it comes to food choices. We believe everyone has their own unique constitution and foods can affect people differently. I have my own experience with this and can give some insight. Acupuncture alone will help rebalance the body, but food and herbs will keep things on track day-to-day.

Acupuncture has a lasting effect only if you have corrected the underlying problem that is causing your symptoms to begin with. The body will move back if things aren't corrected. Herbal formulas are another way that can get deeper and can have a better, sometimes, longer lasting effect. But, again, only if the underlying issues are being addressed. Everyone is unique and not all have the same cause or effect. That is how Chinese Medicine shines, it treats you as an individual. Sometimes, the frequency of acupuncture and length of treatments can play into it as well. If there is a chronic condition to address it takes time to help the body to correct itself. But, without your history and doing an exam, I'm not sure what the cause of re-occurrence is for you specifically. I can only speculate. I hope my answer helps. I would recommend talking with your acupuncturist or getting a second opinion. Thanks!

There are risks, but are minimized to a drop of blood or a bruise. There could be minimal effects to the wrong point used. But, as a trained Chinese Medicine Provider we know what the effects will be and wouldn't choose the wrong point. In your case, some cupping and muscle work might benefit you the most. A detailed exam would be best to know. Thanks!

Absolutely! I have treated many patients with varying degrees of headaches with much success. That is what is great about our medicine, we treat you as an individual and select points and herbs that work for you and what is going on at a deeper level.

Absolutely! I treat many patients with this diagnosis. There are many factors that cause and allow the body to continue with these symptoms even after medications. Without an exam, I couldn't be exact on what your cause is, but there are many ways I can help. Dietary changes, acupuncture, and herbs are common treatments.

Thanks!

I personally haven't treated anyone with anemia. However, acupuncture does treat the body as a whole. We look at the body in a different light than a doctor might. There can be things we can do to help guide the body back to better place. Acupuncture, herbal formulas, some dietary changes and supplements can help those situations. Thanks!
