Acupuncture for Chronic Pain
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in China and is now widely practiced throughout the world. It is commonly used to treat various conditions, but one of its most common implementations is for chronic pain and inflammation. Dr. Gonzalez uses acupuncture in combination with herbal medicine, cupping, and Tui Na (Chinese Orthopedic Massage) for a holistic approach to lasting pain relief.
Chinese Medicine and Women’s Health
Acupuncture is extremely effective in balancing the endocrine system, which produces and regulates hormones. Acupuncture can reduce symptoms of PMS, such as cramping, bloating, mood swings, and headaches by modulating hormones. Acupuncture has also been shown to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs and regulate ovulation, so alongside balancing hormones and reducing symptoms of PMS, acupuncture is often successful in treating infertility issues.
