ACUPUNCTURE
UNIQUE PAIN
MANAGEMENT AND WELLNESS
Unique Pain Management
and Wellness is a highly effective therapeutic
technique developed by Donald Goldstein R.Ac. This
technique combines the use of balance method
acupuncture, microcurrent electrical stimulation, and
auricular therapy.
Balance Method
Acupuncture is a meridian based technique developed
by acupuncture master Dr. Richard Tan. Meridians are the
pathways along which acupuncture points are located
throughout the body. Balance method employs different
imaging concepts to treat the imbalanced, or painful
area. For example, head or neck pain can be successfully
treated by stimulating points on the hand or foot.
Microcurrent electrical
stimulation is an effective modality for the
treatment of pain and injury, as well. The treatment
consists of applying sub-sensory electrical frequencies
to injured or painful areas. With this treatment, the
patient is not aware of any sensations. Ongoing research
has shown that different tissue, nerves, muscles,
tendons, etc. respond to various frequencies of
microcurrent. Results of the therapy will often lead to
reduction of pain and increased range of motion within
the area of discomfort. Microcurrent electrical
stimulation is covered by most insurance companies.
Auricular therapy
is considered a micro-system therapy employing
stimulation of specific points in the ear that
correspond to different area of the body. It is an
acupuncture technique developed by the Chinese, French
and Germans. In this treatment, points may be stimulated
by the use of either needles or microcurrent.
Any of these treatments
can be combined, or used alone to help the patient
achieve their goals. Treatment time is usually 45
minutes to one hour. Severe problems require more
frequent visits, to produce a longer lasting effect.
When a problem stabilizes, frequency of treatments can
be reduced, and eventually discontinued. For severe
issues, follow-up sessions may be necessary.
