Acupuncture
How does it work?
​
By inserting fine, hair-thin needles, the nervous system is receiving signal to the brain to release endorphins / enkephalins and to increase vascular functioning in the stimulated area of the body. This results in relief of pain, relaxation of muscle tissues and improved blood circulation in the area.
​

​
​
Motor Point Acupuncture (Electro-Stimulation) is used to stimulate a single muscle or groups of muscles in order to restore their full capacity to fire and release. This method targets overloaded, tight and inhibited muscle groups and is very effective for musculoskeletal injuries, muscle tightness, pain and reduced mobility. It is also very effective in reducing joint pain and inflammation.

​
Trigger Point / Dry Needling Acupuncture is done on tight bands of muscles and fascia (knots). These tight bands can cause movement restriction and pain. Through needle manipulation into the muscle, an involuntary contraction is provoked. This results in relaxation of initially tight fibres of the muscle and reduction of pain.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal Therapy is a core and essence of Chinese Medicine, which incorporates thousands of years of knowledge and experience. It used to be and to a degree still is the main method of treating diseases in China. It utilises thousands of various plants, minerals and shells to help restore and maintain healthy, thriving and vigorous body throughout entire life. Its approach to treating diseases is never just to alleviate symptoms but to identify the cause of disesase and to help the body to regulate by itself as much as possible.
For my patients, I use the most convenient, modern option - herbal granules, which are ready to ingest, without the need of boiling for a long period of time.
