As we get older, it is common to experience knee pain. Often, the diagnosis is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is seen as a general inflammatory state, and as we age, due to overuse, the quality of our bones change, and our cartilage wears down.Clinical trials have shown that 8 weeks of acupuncture (whether electro or manual) provide improvement of pain relief and function in those with mild to moderate osteoarthritis. Also, 8 weeks significantly reduced inflammatory markers and cartilage degradation biomarkers (Shi et al., 2020).

In Chinese medicine, autumn is the period of time where your energy starts to become more internal, in essence, preparing you for the wintertime. This is the period to nourish yin. Autumn is the time of the lungs and large intestine, and the season of letting go. For your health and well-being, acupuncture can balance your internal energy, nourish yin, support your immune system, and work on the energetics of your organs at the optimal time, and in conjunction with the seasons.

What is Acu nap? 
An "acu nap" usually refers to a short nap taken after an acupuncture session or during acupuncture to enhance relaxation and healing. The term combines:
"Acu" - short for acupuncture
"Nap"- a brief sleep or rest

Two common meanings:
1. During Acupuncture: Many people fall asleep while lying still with needles in, often calling this nap an "acu nap". It's usually very relaxing and restorative.
2. After Acupuncture: Sometimes people rest afterward to let the treatment settle in and maximize the benefits.

These naps are known to be:
-Deep and refreshing
-Often described as "resetting the nervous system"
-Beneficial for stress relief, fatigue, and mental clarity

Cysts are seen as a build up of fluid, and can present as firm or loose in nature. Acupuncture treatments can help with cysts, through the ability of being to increase blood flow into areas that are essentially stuck. Cysts can be disruptive, and create inflammation, or even grow over time. Cysts happen for a variety of different reasons. They can form from chronic inflammation, prior infections, injury or trauma to an otherwise healthy region of the body, blocked ducts, ligament tears, or even come from certain medications taken over prolonged periods of time. Acupuncture is most helpful to those that have cysts, but Chinese herbal medicine/decoctions can also assist in helping reduce cysts, as well. Most will treat cysts conservatively, until the cyst becomes large enough where a doctor deems that it has to be surgically removed. Acupuncture has the ability to prevent the growth of cysts, and in some cases, acupuncture or electro acupuncture treatments can cause a cyst to resolve itself. Recent studies have found that acupuncture increases the levels of nitric oxide at the treated site, which mediates cutaneous vasodilation and regulates blood flow and volume. (Tsuchiya, M et al, 2007).

The American Migraine Foundation is recognizing acupuncture as a good treatment option for those that experience chronic migraines. Some argue that certain dietary restrictions can help with the frequency of one's migraines, alongside regular acupuncture treatments. Migraines are not just headaches,and can manifest differently from person to person. Migraine symptoms can include feeling depressed, light sensitivity, nauseousness, and fatigue. This can last for hours or even several days.  Current modes of therapy can range from pharmaceutical options, nerve pain medication, magnetic brain stimulation, nasal sprays, botox injections, caffeine consumption, calcitonin monoclonal antibodies, stress management, biofeedback, yoga and meditation, consumption of vitamins/minerals, psychological therapy, as well as others. However, Mayo clinic states that clinical trials with patients who tried acupuncture had been helpful for headache pain caused by migraines (July 2023).

Scalp acupuncture has proven to be beneficial for those with any auto-immune diseases, neurological disorders, stroke or brain injuries. Scalp acupuncture increases the blood flow to certain areas of the brain that are in charge of our motor and sensory functions, and thus, neurological improvements will be seen post-treatment. It's interesting to note that many studies have been done showing improvements of the symptomatology of MS, Autism spectrum disorders, Bell's Palsy, Alopecia, and Aphasia when scalp acupuncture was combined with an acupuncture treatment.

Atrial Fibrillation is when the top chambers (atria) of the heart fall out of the heart's natural rhythm, thus creating a greater chance for heart failure, stroke, or other complications. Current forms of treatment include pharmacological medication, such as anticoagulants or antiarrhythmics, and in some cases, heart ablations are done to correct the arrhythmia. However, one should seriously consider adding acupuncture to their treatment plan, as studies have shown acupuncture combined with anti-arrhythmic drugs reduced the incidence of adverse events and enhanced the treatment effect (Li, ong, et al.,2022).Integrating eastern and western medicine is only beneficial.

Endometriosis is a painful medical condition in which endometrial cells can appear outside the uterine cavity. The cells are influenced by hormonal changes in the body. Excision surgery is currently the mode of treatment. The pain can worsen during one's menstrual cycle, and it occurs mostly during a female's reproductive years. Sometimes, it can cause fertility issues, and painful in*******se, as well. Acupuncture is helpful for this condition because it can help diminish pelvic pain, and help to better regulate hormones, by improving blood flow to the parts of the body that regulate hormone production.
