Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine has a very good track record in helping people with ADD and ADHD. In our Austin Acupuncture clinic we utilize a number of therapy’s, including Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, micro current electro ear therapy and whole food based nutraceuticals, to get the results our Austin patients are needing. I thought that a testimonial would illustrate this point best so here you are...enjoy!

Winter in Austin is mild but the cold does arrive and can last for a week or two before we warm up. The frequent change in temperature can reek havoc on arthritic patients. Their joints ache and can swell as well. The medicines they take from their doctor have some undesirable side effects. Winter, even in Austin, can be tough for them. Acupuncture treatments in Austin can be a very effective, drug free way for relieving their pain and inflammation.

Happy Thanksgiving Austin.

This is the holiday to eat way too much, sit back, burp, laugh and be thankful for all the blessings of life. If you eat too much and begin to feel uncomfortable try some ginger tea, it will settle your stomach. If you have Grappa or Sambuca, have a little shot and that will do the trick. Have a great Thanksgiving and thank you Austin your support!!

Many of us in Austin have no choice but to be around people at work or school that are sick. They sneeze, cough, often not covering their mouths, and they have fever. These people really should be at home. As an Acupuncturist in Austin I see the effects of viral transmission on a daily basis in my south central Austin Acupuncture clinic. Co-workers, friends, and family members are the usual suspects when we hazard a guess at to how we got sick. I think this is very common and the best way to deal with this flu season is prevention.

The swine flu has many of us very concerned. This past thursday, a life was lost at UT due to this flu. So it is here in Austin, Texas and I am getting calls every week with questions. My approach is simple, Chinese Herbs. I find that in my Austin acupuncture practice that Chinese Herbs are the most effective treatment option. So this Flu season I am offering this; If you feel like you might have the flu, swine or seasonal, call me and I will call you in an anti-viral Chinese Herbal formula to a local herbal pharmacy.

Practicing acupuncture in Austin gives me the opportunity to see and treat folks in our community for various health complaints including spider bites. I found that even the horrible brown recluse spider venom reacts very well to acupuncture around the site with electrical stimulation. I have halted necrosis, the blackening of body tissue which is tissue death, time and time again to the amazement of the patient receiving treatment.

I provide acupuncture therapy in Austin Texas for about 5-6 patients every year with a specific type of facial paralysis called Bell’s Palsy. Bell’s Palsy is a neurological condition that affects the face usually on only one side. The affected side is without control. This means you cant blink, close your mouth fully or smile. Half your face is paralyzed. When you go to your doctor he or she will tell you that it will go away eventually. When you come to our Austin acupuncture clinic we treat you with acupuncture and chinese herbs.
