Medical Acupuncture can be an amazing treatment for all sorts of issues. Today we were working with a patient with chronic hand pain where no other treatment has helped him, along with shoulder weakness.

After 5 treatments his pain is reduced by approximately 90% to the point where he rarely notices it, along with full strength to his shoulder.

Basically we worked on restoring motion to the shoulder as well as to the back, followed by stimulating all the major nerves from the neck as well as peripheral nerves in the shoulder. Followed by basically doing the same thing to the hand. Let's just say he was very happy with his results.

I'm very pleased to announce I will be starting this weekend at Kenderdine Medical Clinic. I will be here from 10am until 1pm on weekends and 4 until 8 on Mondays.

I will be working alongside a team of medical doctors offering chiropractic, rehab and medical acupuncture.

Walk ins are always welcome and referrals are always appreciated.

Some scar tissue therapy on my first acupuncture patient ever....myself haha!
-
After a motorcycle accident left me with 3rd degree burns down my arm, one of the most helpful things for scar mobilization and avoiding adhesions to the tissue was actually acupuncture.
-
By placing needles through the scar tissue, we break up adhesions and continue to allow the scarring to glide freely over the tissue underneath. Plus as a bonus it leaves the forearms feeling great after 😉

A little posture advice for anyone driving ling distances on this September long weekend.🚗
Make sure your seat amd steering wheel areadjusted properly as well as always remember to keep a loose grip on the wheel. But most importantly take breaks regularly to get up, move around and stretch!

You only get one back, so take care of the spine you have. Modern medicine and pills help alleviate the pain, but can never help prevent or reverse degeneration. It's been proven over and over the best thing for your back is regular exercise, and of course a regular chiropractic visit doesn't hurt either to assess your movement and prevent pain in the future with adjustments and education 👨‍🏫
