Asthma and Acupuncture

Asthma is a chronic disease with no cure, as stated by the AMA. There are different types , but they all produce the same signs and symptoms: rapid breathing, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and the uncomfortable sensation of suffocation.

Acupuncture to the Rescue!

Acupuncture is an ancient form of treatment based on the medical philosophy that energy flows through the human body in opposing "positive" and "negative" forces, yin and yang.

In the majority of cases that we treat, the patient has an weakened immune system and food sensitivities.

Thus, our treatments focus on balancing and strengthening the immune system and eliminating the sensitivity to the foods that they eat and the things that are ingested in the air.

Simply put, allergies can trigger or induce an attack. Many times, breathing in substances such as pollen, mold, dust mites and animal dander triggers the inflammation and swelling of the airways, leading to wheezing and possibly an attack.

Some studies suggest that treatment of allergic rhinitis actually improves the condition. We have a very effective method to treat the allergen that is causing the attack and reduce or eliminate the attacks altogether. In most cases you will not have to reduce your exposure to the allergic substance because you will not be allergic to it in the future.

Many patients report significant, lasting benefits in just a few sessions using this combination of treatments. Exit asthma page and return to homepage
