Acupuncture

Our body possess natural capacity to heal and maintain healthy state. However, when the outside pathogenic factor invades the body or internal disorder disrupts this process, we are considered to be ill.

By stimulating the meridians and acu-points located throughout the body, we improve the autoimmune response and increase the healing potential a person holds. Through activation of this energy, our body learns to recover from illness or injury. We will lead your body to recovery and strengthen it to prevent future recurrence.

World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture to be very effective treatment of many health problems including, but not limited to: Lower back pain, Acute sinusitis, Rhinitis, Migraine, Osteoarthritis, Colitis, Meniere's disease, Peripheral neuropathy, Paralysis, Constipation, Stroke, etc.

Theory of Oriental Medicine

Oriental Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years by the Eastern culture and has worked its way into the Western world in recent years. This amazing effect on our health has astonished the way our culture looks at healthcare. Oriental medicine includes, but not limited to such technique as acupuncture, herbal remedy, nutritional guidance, massage, breathing techniques, and heat therapy.

Our body is constantly trying to heal and is changing every second. How we observe this process is through Oriental Medical Diagnosis. Our body reflects the internal condition through

Tongue (quality of tongue)
Pulse (condition of the pulse)
Abdominal Diagnosis (examine the stomach by palpating)
Counseling (patient history and tendency)

We gather these information to picture and to structure a treatment plan which best fits your individual needs. By incorporating the counseling and Oriental Medical Diagnosis together, we can obtain optimum results in healing your condition

Is Acupuncture for Everyone?

Absolutely!
Let's take a look at pain problem for example.

When problem relating to pain arises, many consider Acupuncture treatments. That's because Acupuncture is known for its ability to successfully treat pain and relieve the tension in affected area.

Pain is generally indication or warning that there is a problem in effected area of the body. Many times the exact location of pain points to where the problem is, but in some situations the site of pain may be related to problems in distal part of the body, also known as reflected pain. The intensity of the pain usually indicates how severe the problem is. Each individual has a different pain tolerance, but pain level that increase with time or do not go away after few days point to something that needs proper care.

At KITADE Wellness Center, Orlando, we gather detailed information of basic onset (gradual or acute) and characteristics of pain (Sharp, Dull, Numb, etc) to patient's lifestyle evaluation and family medical history. Acupuncture is extremely powerful tool and effective approach to treat pain due to its nature to decreases pain levels as it stimulates the body's healing response. Acupuncture resolves pain by stimulating several pain pathways and improving the healing response.
