I am an acpuncturist and herbalist wondering what anyone would have to say about lower lid severe eye twitches? Just a general inquiry, sort of like how back and knee pain might be KI or bloating is SP. Does anyone...

Thanks for being curious- but I feel compelled to suggest that after hearing my patients stories and reading articles/news about health care accross the board- your best bet is to:1. Hire an acupuncturist2. Refer out to oneToo many MD&#39s want...

Was there no change before/after the surgery? I wonder if it&#39s one of those weird ligaments in the pelvic floor or something that attatches to the related painful verterbra? Have you traveled to a place the specializes in pelvic pain?I&#39m...

I&#39m having to completely agree with Chad. Your pain is stemming from your back or glutes.I would see an very good massage therapist or acupuncturist again. If there&#39s a language barrier with the one you saw- maybe check in with...

Yep. No biggie. In fact, maybe fate says it was meant to be there and you got some free extended treatment!!There are even what&#39s called small dermal needles that barely puncture the skin for this exact reason.

I sometimes recommend a native English speaking practitioner. This may ruffle some feathers but language barriers and cultural clashes with Americans vs pain thresholds and treatment styles can be harshly different. I&#39m not sure which you saw but I&#39m simply...

I certainly don&#39t have the answer as to why you have such lasting symptoms, but I can share with you this much-I had a colleague needle the crap out of my hamstring once and she accidentaly whaled on my sciatic...

"surround the dragon" technique?And if it&#39s stasis, incorporate qi/blood moving points (4 gates etc)Sp 9, St 40- phlegm.

Submucosal fibroids are not a womens friend for fertility. You should find out where it is in the uterus- the location of this particular type of fibroid is important for fertility. Your doctor should know this and have a discussion...

I love topical Ju Hua or a chamomlie tea bag topically on them. Works really well and quickly. If you can add lian qiao that can help too.

Personally, I think people say "detox" when it may or may not be the situation. The bottom line is, we ultimately don&#39t always know. There are plenty of times where it&#39s mostly a result of the individual doing a very...

I would seek another Dr. or Planned Parenthood in the are if you can. Not sure what area you are in but non-profit clinics can also be really great as well if you have them, these places buck the "traditional"...

Have you tried CO Q 10?Valve prolapse may be worth investigating, where blood flow is able to flow a bit backwards in the chambers, or even in the vessels. They can give you 30 day monitor I think too? Even...

I often refer my clients to see a psychotherapist if they aren&#39t already. Talk therapy paired with acupuncture is a huge benefit. To echo Chad, there cannot be an "expected" outcome and I often find results vary in efficacy and...

I would address the consitution here too.Is the liver controlling the muscles too taught? Maybe she&#39s xu in blood and yin/qi? Anxiety, consitpation can point to that.If you can get her on herbs, that would be ideal too.

I had someone pass out on me when I was needling them. It was when I was still in school interning.He worked in construction and it turned out after working all day and he hadn&#39t eaten. I now tell all...

I too had a client that developed tinnitus. Adult male, and it began recently when he got braces. I couldn&#39t make a dent with acu or herbs. It&#39s actually getting better now that he got his braces off. His dentist...

i actually have this.Nothing, diet, herbal etc has helped. I didn&#39t get it until my 30&#39s, which seems to be trending more. It def seems to flare up and calm down with my cycle.But the only thing that has worked...

I do a lot of local needling for this too. And investigate the lower back as well.For repeat pain, consider this persons gate, are they a runner? Footware, how are they sitting etc. for this to come back. Patches are...

I have treated this with a lot of success. I use ahi points, and flanking the achilles with about 6 needles- 3 per side. Then maybe palpate the calf and see how tight it is up there. The gastrocs may...
