It is especially\u00a0effective for many ailments. !<\/p>\n<p>Yet the greater component of\u00a0Chinese Medicine as practiced in\u00a0China is Chinese Herbal Medicine.\u00a0Chinese Herbal Medicine has been<br \/>\ntime-tested through thousands of\u00a0years of use, and has been shown\u00a0effective both clinically and\u00a0empirically against both acute and\u00a0chronic ailments. !<\/p>\n<p>In combination, acupuncture and\u00a0Chinese Herbal Medicine comprise a\u00a0system of medicine that stands by<br \/>\nitself, just as Western Medicine stands\u00a0by itself.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does Acupuncture Work?<\/h3>\n<p>The ancient Chinese believed that body was first and foremost a system of energy, what they called\u00a0Chi, or Qi. They mapped out grids along the body, what they considered pathways of energy, or\u00a0meridians. It was through these meridians that they believed the Qi flowed. The acupuncture points\u00a0are along these meridians. It was thought that by putting acupuncture needles into these points, the\u00a0Qi would be stimulated to flow better, and the person\u2019s health would improve. Thousands of years\u00a0of clinical work have shown that the Chinese were right.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Chinese Medicine Good For?<\/h3>\n<p>That is like asking, \u201cWhat is Western Medicine\u00a0Good For?\u201d The following is a partial list of\u00a0what ailments Chinese Medicine is effective for:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"horizontal\">\n<li>Allergies<\/li>\n<li>Asthma<\/li>\n<li>Bronchitis<\/li>\n<li>Infectious Diseases<\/li>\n<li>Colds, Coughs<\/li>\n<li>Low Back Pain<\/li>\n<li>Carpal Tunnel<\/li>\n<li>Women\u2019s Health<\/li>\n<li>Fertility<\/li>\n<li>Digestive Disorders<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Stroke\/Numbness\/Paralysis<\/li>\n<li>Tendonitis<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Skin Problems<\/li>\n<li>Immune Disorders<\/li>\n<li>Cancer<\/li>\n<li>Auto-Immune Disorders<\/li>\n<li>Chronic and Degenerative Ailments<\/li>\n<li>And Much, Much More&#8230;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How Many Treatments Does It Take?<\/h3>\n<p>Acupuncture, and Chinese Medicine in\u00a0general, is understood to be a process.\u00a0It is trying to stimulate the body\u2019s own\u00a0natural healing capabilities. Some people\u00a0respond quickly, and others take more\u00a0time. Common sense would dictate\u00a0that the longer a person has had a\u00a0condition, the longer it might take for it\u00a0to reverse, though every so often, a\u00a0person with a seemingly intractable\u00a0problem responds very quickly. You\u00a0should plan on a course of six to ten\u00a0treatments to either affect a cure, relieve\u00a0symptoms totally or partially, or to see\u00a0no response. After this initial course of\u00a0treatments, a blueprint can be\u00a0determined as to how to proceed from\u00a0there. !<\/p>\n<p>Does Insurance Cover Acupuncture? Some do \u2013 it varies from company to company. If you have Empire Blue Cross or a different insurance within the Anthem network, you are covered, and Dr. Wayne is a provider, so you are only responsible for the co-pay.
