That last one resolved, patient is back 2 weeks later with IT band soreness. Patient treated with acupuncture and cupping. Patient is back in 4 months; the right foot is acting up again. Patient treated with acupuncture and cupping. Two months later the patient came back for a treatment of sprain. Three months later, treated for left sided pain. Patient is doing well, not back for one year. After a year patient came back for low back strain. One month later, back for a pulled muscle; one month later is back for pain in the shoulder. This case demonstrates that this athlete is using our services every time there is a pain, strain or injury of any kind.

# 11. A 74 year old patient come in with a complaint of constant and persistent diarrhea. The patient is emaciated and can’t tolerate very many foods. She is exhausted and spends most of her time in bed. This results in the patient eating very little. The patient is diagnosed with spleen deficiency and and given moxa treatments initially every 4 to 5 days (for the first 2 weeks); this is followed by a treatment in 7 days and then in 8 days. At this time patient is able to eat more and is no longer staying in bed most of the time. Diarrhea is only occasional due to eating foods she knows cause it.
# 12. A 32 year old woman sought acupuncture to induce labor at the end of her fortieth week of pregnancy. That evening she began contractions which continued through the next day. Within twenty four hours she gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
Many patients come in for treatment of simple colds, sore throat and allergies. They find that their symptoms are relieved and they are able to recover from these a lot faster. In many cases they are able to resume work or their regular activities.
Over the years there have been many cases of fertility support. In these cases the women had various health factors involved. Almost all of them had some level of anxiety, frustration and a few other stress related issues. Here are just a few examples as follows: low ovarian reserve, having to correct deficiency after having two children and not being able to conceive the third, needing support wile going though IUI or IVF. From the Chinese Medical perspective these women benefited from acupuncture and Chinese nutritional therapy that helped establish and retain their pregnancy.
