Acupressure:

Manual stimulation of Acupuncture points and meridians. In most cases, acupressure is like massage therapy in that it feels good and is relaxing.However, Acupuressure is therapeutic in a different way than massage therapy because it uses Chinese Medical principles to govern the treatment.

Symptoms treated: Young children, Headaches, Back pain and Hip pain.

Chinese Herbs:

Chinese Herbology is a very well developed science, and a particular interest of mine. Many people use just herbs in their practice. Statistically, Chinese herbs are significantly safer than prescription drugs. At Orlando Acupuncture we use American made products (usually pills) that are double tested for potency and purity. Herbs are also available in liquid, and powder forms. For skin conditions herbs are prepared as topical ointments. All of our herbal products are available to the public at our Winter Park location. For more about Chinese Herbs look at our "Herbs" page.

Conditions helped by herbs: Allergies, Asthma, ADD/ADHD, Hot Flashes, Hypertension, Digestive symptoms, Insomnia, Psoriasis, to name a few.

Diet Therapy:

Closely related to herbal therapy. Herbs are often different parts of the same plants that we eat for food. So foods work like herbs, but are less potent.

Symptoms treated: same as for herbs, but more mild.

Cupping:

The application of glass cups to the body. Usually done on the back. This is another way of stimulating acupuncture points. Suction is achieved by using a flame to generate a vacum insige the glass cup. This method is very good for cleaning out toxins and releasing very tight muscles.

Symptoms treated: Bronchitis, Fibromyalgia, Shoulder Pain

Moxa or Heat Therapy:

The application of therapeutic heat to the body. Traditionally done by burning herbs, specifically, Mugwort, either on the skin, over the skin or on acupuncture needles. In our office we use a special infrared heat lamp along with topical herbs to achieve safe and effective clinical results.

Symptoms treated: stiff neck, back pain, tendonitis, etc.
