Do you have Trigeminal neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face — such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup — may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain. You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more-frequent bouts of searing pain. Trigeminal neuralgia affects women more often than men, and it’s more likely to occur in people who are older than 50. Because of the variety of treatment options available, having trigeminal neuralgia doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doomed to a life of pain. (mayo clinic) We actually have been seeing quite a few facial neuralgia patients in the last few months with the same problem. Most of the time they have already tried painkillers, and nothing else has helped and have decided to try acupuncture as a last-ditch effort. To their surprise (and sometimes mine) It’s been working. Some patients originally came in with 10/10 pain. every time the wind would blow or any slight stimulation to the face would send extremely painful electric shocks through the patient’s face. A couple of treatments a two weeks later the pain has calmed down and he was even to the point where he was started applying for jobs again because he wasn’t able to work with the pain previously. It’s always exciting when patients get better! Does everyone get the same result? No. but most people do get some benefit and if we can’t get the pain to go away we can at least manage it and provide a better quality of life for those patients.

If you know anyone suffering from facial/ trigeminal neuralgia tells them to give acupuncture a try! we are accepting new patients!

We Are Still Open But….

Clinic updates: 26 March 2020

According to the government updates on covid-19 situation: we are a health-related service and can remain open. 
Of course safety and hygiene are number one. There’s a few things being implemented to insure the safety of everyone around us:

1)Social distancing. Patient appointments will be spread out to allow for disinfecting between visits and sanitizing. 
2)Patients must be screened before entering the clinic. If a practitioner or patient fails screening neither should attend the clinic. 
3)If patient and practitioner pass screening, then treatment can proceed with full infection control which now extends to masks 😷 gloves 🧤 and other protective equipment for at least the practitioner. 

This interpretation of the rules is as if 11:59p wed 25 March 2020

Three Ways Acupuncture can Improve Fertility & Conception

For many couples, trying to fall pregnant can be a time full of joy & excitement, anticipating the arrival of their bundle of joy. Unfortunately for many others it can become a stressful & frustrating experience,with many couples left feeling defeated & confused. If this is you, you are absolutely not alone, in fact, around 1 in 6 couples experience difficulty with fertility. It’s important to not give up hope & always seek support.

Acupuncture can Improve Fertility & Conception

Acupuncture has been successfully utilized in both China & the West for many, many decades to improve fertility outcomes & has been clinically shown to have a positive influence over reproductive health, conception & pregnancy. Acupuncture improves fertility by assisting with a number of factors which greatly impact conception including regulation of hormones, stress reduction & nervous system support, as well as improved blood flow to the uterus.

Here are some ways in which Acupuncture may assist with fertility & conception:

1. Helps Balance Hormones

Regulation of the menstrual cycle & related hormones is essential for improving chances for conception. Pre-conception acupuncture treatment has been shown to have multiple beneficial effects on the menstrual cycle & fertility due to the regulatory & balancing effect it has on female (& male) hormones. Balancing hormones will not only help optimize ovulation but also have positive effects over other areas of reproductive health including:

  • follicle & egg quality
  • regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
  • luteal phase quality > improve progesterone production &  implantation chances
  • balance of oestrogen & progesterone
  • improve sperm count, motility & morphology, in males

 

2. Helps to Reset the Nervous System & Reduce Stress

Stress has become a relentless & common part of many peoples everyday lives. What most people, especially couples trying to conceive, don’t fully recognize is just how much stress they are experiencing & the impact is can have over reproductive health & fertility.

Studies have shown that acupuncture both directly & indirectly activates the nervous system, helping to restore healthy function. Acupuncture achieves this by re-balancing the parasympathetic (rest-&-digest) & sympathetic (fight-or-flight) arms of the nervous system by decreasing cortisol (stress hormone) & modulating β-endorphins (stress reducing hormone).

Acupuncture also has positive influence on regulation of regulation of neurotransmitters, chemical messengers which allow the nervous system to communicate efficiently. Examples include:

  • GABA (responsible for helping calm & relax)
  • Glutamate (excitatory neurotransmitter responsible for cell signalling)
  • Dopamine (important for emotional function/control, movement, pleasure & reward)
  • Serotonin (mood, sleep, appetite)
  • Melatonin (sleep, circadian rhythm)
  • Epinephrine/Norepinephrine (essential in engaging the fight-flight response)

3. Increases Blood Flow to the Uterus

Research has suggested that insufficient blood flow to the uterus may explain infertility in some cases. Acupuncture has been clinically shown to improve vasodilation (blood flow) to the uterus & create a healthy endometrial environment, therefore improving the chances of successful implantation & pregnancy.
