Physician-supervised care plans may include a combination of 针灸, 触发点注射, 肌筋膜释放, 药物的调整, 生活方式指导, and dietary recommendations; and are delivered via team-based treatment that often will include clinical extenders (acupuncturist, 手动治疗师).

An acupuncturist must also pass a stringent state board examination. All acupuncturists at the Center for 东西方医学 are board certified, and trained in both TCM and modern western medicine.

Are you just an 针灸 clinic?

No, we are not the same as an 针灸 clinic. 你所在皇冠hga020电脑版的针灸诊所通常由针灸师或中医医生经营(他们的名字后面通常有LAc)。. Patients seek their care typically for 针灸, 草本植物, other treatments for various symptoms, or even just for promotion of wellbeing. Patients may pay cash or use insurance to receive treatment, often on the same day.

Patients are commonly referred by primary care providers and specialists, just like they might be referred to other specialties, 像风湿病学, 例如. 最初的评估包括广泛的病史和由委员会认证的医生(MD)进行的身体检查。. A care plan will be created together, 可能包括针灸, 触发点注射, bodywork and/or medical management/coordination.

针灸的效果如何??

Acupuncture is an effective treatment method used by millions of people in China, 韩国, 日本, 还有其他国家. 针灸包含了许多治疗和治疗技术，这些技术已经实践了2000多年. Though many different techniques and styles are used in the West, scientific evidence supporting 针灸’s effectiveness is variable. This is partly due to the difficulty in studying a dynamic, 以病人为中心的系统，采用当前的研究方法，这是由科学探究的简化主义标准所决定的. 尽管存在这些挑战, a growing body of research supports 针灸 for a variety of conditions, 包括慢性头痛, 膝骨关节炎, 慢性疼痛, 痛经(痛经), and some musculoskeletal injuries.

Will the needles hurt and what are common side effects? 

Generally, they do not hurt much if at all. Acupuncture needles are significantly thinner, 小, and not hollow as compared to hypodermic needles used for blood draws and immunizations. Different sizes of needles are used depending on what 针灸 points are chosen, but the needles are all about as thick as a human hair. 如果有不适, 你可能感受到的疼痛程度取决于你对针灸针的敏感程度, 你的治疗用的是什么穴位(有些穴位比其他穴位更敏感). 虽然不常见，但被针刺的部位可能会出现红肿、瘀伤、少量出血或肿胀.

这是另一种以针为基础的治疗方法，通常在我们诊所与针灸结合使用. 触发点注射是一种自20世纪20年代发展起来的技术，由珍妮特·特拉尔推广开来, who was selected to be the White House physician by John F. Kennedy to treat his chronic musculoskeletal pain. 有相当多的基础科学和临床证据支持其用于治疗肌筋膜疼痛和许多其他疼痛和非疼痛综合征.

的 procedure includes a slightly larger needle compared to 针灸, which is used to deactivate trigger points and address muscle tension and spasm. A small amount of local anesthetic—我们通常使用利多卡因—注入. We do not inject corticosteroids. You may experience soreness, bruising, or minor inflammation in the area treated. 在极少数情况下, an allergic reaction might occur to the lidocaine, which may result in inflammation, 肿胀, 或皮疹.
