Big changes are sometimes necessary and good to do but achieving health is mostly about your daily habits and choices.

The biggest difference between the modern Western Medicine (WM) model and the Chinese Medicine model (CM) is that the CM model is based on being healthy and staying healthy and the current WM model waits until systems are functioning poorly or not at all before starting any treatments.

So besides just using acupuncture to treat your aches and pains both acute and chronic (back/spine, neck, shoulder, elbows, wrists, hand, knees, ankles and feet) CM focuses on your overall health.

Chinese Herbal Medicine along with nutritional and lifestyle changes are some of the other modalities used in CM to address your health concerns.

I like treating digestive disorders. Everything from simple digestive discomfort to IBS and IBD (Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis etc).

If you have aches, pains, arthritis, stress, anxiety or digestive problems give us a call at 920-692-8049 or message us and we will be glad to discuss your health concerns.

Stay Safe and Be Well

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing Moms!

Don’t hesitate to call us if one of your children stepped on a crack and broke their mother’s back.
Or if the stress of also mothering your spouse is too much and you need some acurest from their shenanigans.

Stress and anxiety are one of the main reasons people often come in for treatment.
Perfectionism and overworking are often contributing factors. Also trying to meet someone else’s expectations for you can cause a lot of stress and anxiety.

It’s good to slow down and reflect on why we are doing what we are doing. And is it benefiting or harming oneself and those around you.

I’m going to start posting some content and join this century.

It will be random thoughts and randomly timed posts (that’s how my brain works) about health and Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture. (Or other random thoughts)

So today’s post is one of my favorite sayings in clinic and one I frequently tell myself.

The question is not can/could I do this thing but SHOULD I do this thing.
It applies to all ages but is especially helpful to high mileage people and those of us with more life experience (AARP card holders).

By asking yourself should I do this thing/activity you can often save yourself some aches, pains and illnesses.
A real life example from a patient- should I get on this ladder to clear ice off of my second story roof. No you shouldn’t have (it will melt) but since you did now we have become great friends.

So if you or someone you know does that thing anyway and needs some help recovering from the consequences of their actions give me a call at 910-692-8049 or message me through this app and I’ll help pin you back together.

Stay safe and be well

We are closed today and tomorrow (and yesterday)due another Evil Exogenous Pathogenic Factor (virus) invading my body and my house.

We were really hoping it was just bad allergies but it’s both bad allergies and an Outside Pernicious Influence combined.

The ACOTS plans on opening back up on Monday March 18.

Be well and stay well
