Acupuncture treatments can be deeply meaningful to patients by offering a holistic approach to healing that goes beyond just symptom relief. Many people find it not only helps alleviate chronic pain, stress, and anxiety, but also improves their overall sense of balance and well-being. The practice encourages relaxation and mindfulness, fostering a deeper connection between body and mind. For some, it provides a sense of empowerment, as they take an active role in their healing process through natural, non-invasive methods. Ultimately, acupuncture can become a meaningful part of a patient’s wellness journey by promoting physical, emotional, and mental harmony.

Traditional Chinese Herbs 🌿

How do they work?

Here at Tradishen, we perform a style of Traditional Chinese Herbs called Kampo, a Japanese method of evaluating the body and prescribing formulations that can differ from methods widely used today. There is an emphasis in abdominal palpation to gather more objective findings that are found in one of our most prominent historical books, the Shang Han Lun.

There are some basic understanding of Chinese herbology that you might not be aware of, so we briefly shared some here!

Did you know…

There are over 300 acupuncture points on the body?

Many of the frequently used points exist on the limbs, with some of the most dynamic points on the hands and feet?

Many acupuncturists examine the pulse to determine which points will be most useful in any given treatment?

There are different techniques to either boost and nourish Qi OR move the Qi? This can include depth of the needle, direction of the needle, rotation of the needle, retention of the needle and more!

At Tradishen, we focus on Japanese Meridian style which uses thinner needles and more superficial insertion of the needle. We use our intention strongly to move this energy, supporting needling with moxa, massage and herbs. We strive for our treatments to be comfortable, relaxing and pain-free ✨

What’s in the N E E D L E?

Short answer: me!

As an acupuncturist, we study many east Asian practices of energy work. Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Reiki…and more! When we apply needles, we are focused on intention, needle technique, theoretical knowledge for point selection and even intuitive knowledge perceived through the five senses and beyond.

Yes, there are several biomedical explanations of how the needle affects our system therapeutically, but honestly, I believe our society has barely scratched the surface in that understanding.

It truly is an art. An art paired with a great desire to help heal others. And for many of us, heal ourselves.

Happy healing everyone!!!

Allow me to introduce or reintroduce myself to my followers, friends + patients. I am Dr. Monica Foitzik, DACM, owner of Tradishen Japanese Acupuncture + Wellness . I’ve been in practice since 2015 and my services now encompass Japanese style acupuncture (specializing in pain disorders, women’s health, GI issues and mental-emotional health), cosmetic acupuncture and holistic practitioner business coaching. As of 2023, I am the mother of a sweet boy named Leo and am on the journey of balancing motherhood and my career. In addition to healing others with my blend of acupuncture, energy work and myofascial massage, I am dedicated to supporting other professionals in the holistic space because I truly believe there are not enough of us, and it is our duty to learn how to be powerful business owners that are empowered to finding clients & patients to help heal in this country’s broken health system. I’ve learned that being a healer means so many things, and mostly, that I cannot do it alone! Simultaneously, healers need to create sustainable businesses that honor all aspects of their lives so they reduce chances of burnout and maybe the worst outcome—quitting all together.

Please stay tuned as I expand my career by offering more opportunities to work with me, whether it’s healing, coaching or earning CEUs (for my licensed acupuncturists)! I am so grateful to those who have and continue to support my journey 🤍

Thank you for the beautiful updated headshots Paige!

Many patients ask about detoxing. Here’s the gist—extremes can really damage our Qi, blood and body fluids, the vital components to our beings in Chinese Medicine. Our bodies naturally detoxify if we allow it to function optimally! Emotional wellbeing, highly nutritious foods, regular exercise and movement, proper rest and sleep all contribute to our body excelling at what it knows best! When we are out of balance, we feel dysregulated and struggle to achieve these necessary lifestyle components integral to our health. My patients KNOW these things are necessary, so when we can’t get out of the funk—ask for help! This can look like therapy, acupuncture, energy work and more! These holistic modalities can give you the jump start to help you get motivated to get your life back to balance and living optimally. Then, start tackling these other component of health with a fresh start feeling ☀️ What is your favorite way to jump start your health journey? Share on the poll below 👇

H A R A abdominal palpation

What is the most significant difference between TCM herbs and Kampo herbal practice?

In Kampo, we use abdominal palpation findings to detect concrete, objective information in addition to pulse, tongue, signs and symptoms. It becomes a better tool to differentiate what formulas could work best for the patient.

This is incredibly significant since we, as multi-faceted humans, can have difficulty describing what is actually going on with us. The abdominal findings can cut through the confusion and lead to better diagnosis and thus, better treatment outcomes!

R O O T of diseases are so beautifully addressed by Japanese acupuncture.

Unlike allopathic medicine, many eastern models of health care not only address why a disease has shown up, but can methodically detect why symptoms have rampantly expressed in one’s body.

At Tradishen, we strive to not only reduce symptoms, but strive to address these root causes for a multifaceted approach with the goal of reducing the likeliness of more symptoms. Yes, stress, diet, lifestyle and aging can still cause disease, but with proper awareness and education we can minimize the intensity of these presentations to live more healthy, balanced lives 🙏🏽

At Tradishen, we incorporate Japanese-inspired massage techniques into our sessions. 💆🏻

Slow, gradual pressure is applied to release fascial tension. Then, straightening of muscle, tendon and ligaments follow. Preceding this, acupuncture and moxa is applied to internally harmonize the body, making it more receptive to further healing and the moderate-deep pressure more comfortable (IYKYK).

Living in pain doesn’t have to be your story. Let us guide you to a better place 🙏🏽

PAIN.

Even this word can be triggering, right? If you have found yourself in relentless pain, we feel for you ❤️‍🩹

Do you ever wonder why a massage, adjustment and other methods of treating pain might not fully resolve your problem?

In Chinese Medicine, we view pain as having several different causes. We deal with the concepts of Qi, Blood and Body Fluids —and when those things go out of balance, i.e. deficiencies, stagnation and more, then we can have different symptoms arise, including pain.

So why your body might be resistant to healing with other modalities on their own, is because it does not encompass acupuncture and Chinese Medicine’s unique way of addressing underlying conditions.

For example, many women get injured around their me**es. In the acute (but sometimes chronic) state of depletion, her channels and meridians become weak and vulnerable and a simple misstep can lead to a painful injury!!!

Yes, massage and adjustments can be incredibly beneficial, but the ability to improve blood flow, nourish depletion and reduce inflammation from the energetic understanding of Chinese Medicine can lead to greater relief and reduce chances of stressors ending in painful injuries in the future!
