As I write this myself at 5 in the morning…
But, I gotta say, I love the mainstream stories. Our medicine is growing everyday.
In our Chanhassen clinic we use a combo of herbs and acupuncture…that can be very effective for the hardest cases.
This article is CRITICAL
January 22, 2010 By
For all the arguments about the efficacy of acupuncture and chinese medicine this is what it comes down to. This is written by a Trauma Surgeon in regards to Haiti and utilizing acupuncture points to diminish the pain of all the victims undergoing amputations and surgeries from being crushed from the earthquake. Because there is no help, no medicine, no tools available in those critical first days and now 9 days later. People are getting surgery with no pain meds and rusty hack saws as if it were the 1850′s…beyond imagination and deplorable, but REAL!
I think to myself here I am in comfortable MN at a moderately busy acupuncture clinic, (read…under-utilized) as something so simple as ear point acupressure can have the potential for enormous relief!!!
Stress and Allergies
January 18, 2010 By
I became familiar with MN Acupuncture in August 2009. There were several areas that I was seeking assistance with from Sandra and I can’t speak highly enough for the care I have received from both Sandra and Mason. They show a genuine interest in the patient and bring much knowledge to their care routines. My allergy issues have decreased greatly and I am learning to manage my stress levels thanks to them. They have my highest recommendation for acupuncture and related treatments.

Magnesium

I like it when solutions are cheap and easy. Nothing wrong with adding a little Cal/Mag/Vit D to your routine.

If you have questions on this or are looking to integrate acupuncture into your life, we would love to help. Magnesium can help improve sleep and lessen the effects and instances of chronic headaches. At our Chanhassen Clinic we advocate the use of some western supplements because they can be sooo effective and soo easy.

Sleep
January 11, 2010 By
Often overlooked but it is a good place to start if you have health concerns. Lack of sleep and fatigue are victims of circumstance too often. So how do you get more restful sleep? Make it a priority. That is it. For one week make getting adequate sleep a priority, above everything else…and guess what you will get what you want. And pay attention how much better you feel even if you only get 2-3 good days in a row, that is a start.
