Modalities
Acupunture
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. In the United States, where practitioners incorporate healing traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries, acupuncture is considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years.
Scientists are studying the efficacy of acupuncture for a wide range of conditions.
Relatively few complications have been reported from the use of acupuncture.
The term “acupuncture” describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques. The acupuncture technique that has been most often studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
Injection Therapy
Acupoint injection therapy is the injection of herbs, homeopathics, and other nutritional supplements in the form of sterile substances into acupuncture points by means of hypodermic needles but not intravenous therapy to promote, maintain, and restore health; for pain management and palliative care; for acupuncture anesthesia; and to prevent disease.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbal medicine is also among the most rapidly growing in popularity of the complementary therapies in the English-speaking Western world. It is particularly applied as a second tier of treatment by Western acupuncturists who, having started with the most accessible Chinese therapy, discover how closely herbs and acupuncture are integrated into clinical practice in China itself. Thus, many of the colleges of acupuncture in the USA and UK have introduced courses in herbalism.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It’s based on two unconventional theories:
- “Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.
- “Law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain.
Non-Needle Therapy
Non-Needle Therapy is an alternative medicine technique similar in principle to Acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through “meridians” in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.
Some medical studies have shown that acupressure is effective at helping manage nausea and vomiting, or for helping lower back pain.
Dietary Therapy
Diet therapy is the branch of dietetics concerned with the use of foods for therapeutic purposes. It is a method of eating prescribed by a physician to improve health. Diet therapy usually involves the modification of an existing dietary lifestyle to promote optimum health.
