When sleep is diagnosed as a sole problem, the symptoms appear in three forms. First, falling asleep is difficult. Thoughts bite the tail of another thought after another, and even when our body is tired, the mind cannot fall asleep. The second form is waking up frequently. Often, the sleep breaks every few hours with vibrant dreams. Fatigue accumulates since you never feel rested. Finally, the third is waking up too early in the morning (3-4am) and unable to fall back asleep again. You are lying down wide awake until you have to get up to start the day. After identifying which of these three forms of sleeping issues you have, the diagnostic treatment methods proceeds by categorizing into four different constitutional types of insomnia above

Do you feel the heel pain especially when you get up in the morning?

Heel pain can be due to plantar fasciitis, an inflammatory condition of the plantar fascia. This is a thick, fibrous ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot and connects the heel to the front of the foot. Bone spurs in the foot (heel spur), and Achilles tendonitis can also cause pain in the back of the heel. Acupuncture can help plantar fasciitis with several different points in the heel and around the foot.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition in which the stomach contents move up into the esophagus. Reflux becomes a disease when it causes frequent or severe symptoms or injury. Reflux may damage the esophagus, pharynx or respiratory tract. The main symptom of GERD is heartburn, often described as a fiery feeling in one's chest, and regurgitating sour or bitter liquid to the throat or mouth.
Other symptoms of GERD include:
Non-burning chest pain, which is usually located in the middle of the chest and radiates to the back; Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
Atypical reflux symptoms relating to the throat, larynx or lungs.

Unlike Western medicine, which views GERD as a single pathological process that is similar in all cases, the traditional Eastern medicine perspective is that different patients present with different types of acid reflux. During acupuncture, stimulating selected acupuncture points can prevent the esophageal sphincters from relaxing, reducing acid reflux and heartburn. Based on your accompanying signs and symptoms, your practitioner will make a diagnosis and suggest a suitable treatment plan which might include acupuncture, herbal medicine and/or dietary advice. This not only helps to reduce the symptoms of heartburn but more importantly, addresses the root of the problem. Alongside treatment, balancing the digestive system might also require lifestyle changes, such as better sleeping habits, quitting smoking, losing weight and regular exercise.

Back pain is a common health problem in the modern society
Many people seek acupuncture for pain conditions. While pain can occur in every part of the body, back pain is one of the more common issues that we see in our patients. Working adults (ages 18 to 64) represent 63% of the population and account for 72% of all low back pain (LBP) health care visits. Low back pain has been identified categorically as acute, subacute, or chronic, depending on the onset, duration, and severity. Risk factors have included occupational posture, depressive moods, obesity, gender, and age, and risk is most likely affected by a combination of several of these variables. The back covers a huge area, starting from just below the neck all the way to the tailbone. This area can be further divided into three segments, namely the upper back (connecting to the neck), mid-back and lower back (connecting to the hip, tailbone, and buttocks. It is important to identify the location of back pain as the causes of pain, treatment given as well as advice for rehabilitation would vary accordingly. Acupuncture may help improve quality of life as well as reduce lost workplace productivity through more effective and sustained pain relief

Acupuncture can be tremendously helpful in naturally managing an acute or chronic neck and shoulder injury, and may even help resolve the pain completely. How does it do this? Acupuncture can reduce pain naturally by decreasing inflammation, improving blood flow to the area, and helping damaged or torn tissues to heal.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is compression of the sciatic nerve which results in pain radiating down the back or side of the leg. It is commonly caused by nerve root compression at various levels in the spine or inflammation in the sciatic nerve itself. Sciatica usually causes discomfort along the nerve’s pathway (from your lower back to your buttock and the back of your thigh and calf). While some people feel mild pain, others experience a sharp, burning sensation, often becoming worse when coughing or sneezing. Some report numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.

How Acupuncture Can Help Sciatica
Acupuncture works by relaxing tight muscles, improving blood circulation, regulating the nervous system, and releasing neurotransmitters to reduce pain. Acupuncture is an effective treatment for sciatica without the side effects of prescription pain medications like a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and muscle relaxers. It is also a safe, non-surgical treatment option that can relieve sciatica pain. One systematic review of acupuncture for sciatica found that acupuncture improved sciatica symptoms better than NSAID treatment. Acupuncture also helps enhance the effects of medications that may be prescribed for sciatica so it can help reduce the dosage and mitigate the side effects
