A meta-analysis of 26 systematic reviews found that acupuncture managed menstrual pain better than drug therapy. This meta-analysis involving 26,459 patients found that women had lower pain scores with acupuncture than those who were taking NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen. This pain relief was also achieved without the adverse effects found in NSAIDs.

My favorite centenarian turns 106 today. Every year around her birthday for the last several years she stops by the clinic, where we surprise her with a cake and everyone in the clinic sings to her. This year, I came to her (wearing a mask of course). She was very happy and surprised.

At Watershed, we’ve always know that it takes a village. We’ve been lucky enough to be a part of this great community for a decade, and it’s time to do our part. We’ve briefly pivoted from regular spirits production to produce a topical hand sanitizer made from denatured alcohol, glycerin, h...

I hope this post finds everyone safe and healthy. Arlington Acupuncture is open. There are many changes in my procedures to help maintain social distancing and safety. Appointments are staggered so that patients are not crossing paths with each other. People are screened to make sure that no one who may be sick or exposed to COVID-19 comes in. The frequency and scope of sanitation and disinfection has increased. Prior to appointments, temperatures are taken to make sure no one has a fever. In addition to wearing gloves, which has always been standard procedure here, masks and face shields are worn as well. Also hand sanitizer is available for patients to use when they come in. Stay safe everyone and I’ll be here if you need me.

In the practice of acupuncture we, contrary to common biomedical practice, do not advocate the use of ice to treat injuries. It has long been our perspective that it not only slows healing, but also causes more damage. Although biomedicine largely still advocates ice, the science is finally catching up to what we acupuncturists already know. This is a good article that is fairly non-technical. From the article: “the narrowing of blood vessels caused by icing persists after cooling ends and the resulting restriction of blood flow can kill otherwise healthy tissue; that is, icing causes more damage on top of the existing injury... when ice is applied for a prolonged period, lymphatic vessels become more permeable, causing a backflow of fluid into the interstitial space. That means local swelling at an injury site will increase, not decrease, with the use of ice.”

It doesn't help muscles heal—and it might actually do damage.
