CONDITIONS TREATED

Each patient carries his own doctor inside him
~ Albert Schweitzer

As virtually all of our patients already know and many more people are discovering, acupuncture has proven to be highly successful in the treatment of many medical problems.

So successful, in fact, that the National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) have documented numerous conditions that have been shown in clinical studies to be effectively treated with acupuncture.

At Desneige Acupuncture and Allergy Center, we have the capability and experience to treat the following conditions individually by and/or with a combination of traditional needle or magnet acupuncture treatments, cold low-level laser acupuncture therapy via LightNeedle Laser, Blood Laser, LaserPen and Cluster Probe Laser, as well as FX 635 Laser and Erchonia® Violet and Red Laser therapy.

ALLERGIES & SENSITIVITIES

In addition to the treatment of these conditions via acupuncture, we also treat a wide range of allergies and sensitivities with Advanced Allergy Therapeutics.

As noted in more detail in the “Therapies and Treatments” section of the website, this therapy provides quick, long-lasting relief from the many symptoms associated with sensitivities and allergies … often within the first several treatments, depending on the source or cause of the symptom. We do not use this therapy, however, to treat cases of anaphylaxis or life threatening symptoms or reactions to substances. In such instances, strict avoidance of the substance is strongly advised.

Following is a list of some of the most common symptoms treated and relieved by this therapy:

Intestines: gas, bloating, pain, diarrhea
Lungs: cough, sneezing, congestion, nausea, wheezing, runny nose, post nasal drip, itchy eyes
Stomach: cramping, bloating, nausea, heartburn, reflux
Kidneys: fatigue, tiredness
Liver: stress, mood swings, irritability
Skin: redness, itchy or scaly patches, rashes, hives, blisters
