Migraine
Migraine is one of many types of headache, it affects around 1 in every 5 women and around 1 in every 15 men. Migraine attacks are characterised by a very intense pain in one part of the head (pain scale 7-10). Unfortunately, modern medicine doesn’t fully explain which are the causes of migraine and there is no cure that is totally effective against it.
Chinese medicine explains that migraine is not a consequence of problems with vessels, hormones or something else, it is an imbalance of the whole body. The invasion of the Wind or Energy Stagnation can be a cause for this imbalance.
For treating migraine I use not only acupuncture, but also moxibustion and guasha. The treatment never starts with many needles, I prefer a more gentle approach, and at the first session you’ll get only 4-6 needles in your arms and legs. At each session I come closer and closer to your head and sometimes, when I put needles on the neck, the level of headache already decreases by 70 — 80%.
Back pain
Back pain is a very common complaint with which my patients come to me. Some people have it chronically, suffering for many years, so this pain has become habitual. For some it suddenly appears without any apparent reason and returns periodically, while others are lucky and once treated they no longer remember about their back pain.
There are a lot of causes of back pain, from a banal intervertebral hernia to adhesion in the pelvis, but most types of pain nevertheless arise from tense muscles, impaired micro-circulation and local edema.
Traditional Chinese medicine identifies several patterns in which back pain is a symptom. This may be a lack of Qi energy in the kidneys, the introduction of a Cold or stagnation of Qi and Blood. Acupuncture successfully copes with pain, relaxes muscles, removes blocks and balances energy.

Womans's health
At the energy level we consist of parental energies, which can’t be refilled and can only be partially restored with food or inhaled air. We spend these energies for our daily routine, emotions and stress, and over time there is only a little left to pass on to our children.
Acupuncture can help to raise the level of energy, as well as balance the endocrine system and provide a better blood flow to the reproductive system. It works for both participants in the process: a woman and man.
“The goal of infertility treatment from a Chinese medicine perspective is not just to get pregnant, but to stay pregnant and to have a healthy baby,” says Deb Davies, LAc, a Pacific College alumnus.
During pregnancy, acupuncture helps not only the reduction of stress and anxiety, but it is also used for treating nausea, aches, pain, insomnia and many other problems.
Also, acupuncture can be used with IVF and notably increases the rate of its success.
Anti-age facial acupuncture
Most of the aging signs are a consequence of an imbalance in the energies, a decrease in your ebergy levels and the deteriorating lifestyle in general. How can we reduce or even remove these signs?

Advantages of face-lifting acupuncture:

My patients like the resoults after having facial acupuncture, especially how smooth the forehead feels and the reform of the face’s shape.

Anxiety and Insomnia
“Anxiety disorder is a long-term condition that can make you feel anxious about a wide range of situations and issues, rather than one specific event,” says the NHS. It includes many different symptoms, not only worrying, but also restlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, as well as physical symptoms, such as tiredness, palpitations, trembling or shaking, and insomnia.
Acupuncture can help you with all symptoms of anxiety, providing deep relaxation and balancing energies.
Insomnia and other sleep disorders can be successfully treated with acupuncture.
I have many clients who suffer from sleeping problems, feel tired for the whole day and cannot fall asleep at night. Also many of them complain of waking up during the night. These symptoms can lead to different patterns and may be treated with TCM.
The treatment includes not only acupuncture, but also help with a lifestyle change and herbal support.
