Inspiring Health Acupuncture Clinic
Conditions Treated
Oriental medicine is a very comprehensive system of medicine. It works with your body to produce true healing instead of suppressing symptoms. A few of the conditions successfully treated by acupuncture and Oriental medicine are:
General:
- Women’s issues, including painful periods, menopause, and other gynecological issues. These are treated without requiring uncomfortable examinations.
- Chronic pain, especially joint and muscle pain, arthritis, as well as headaches and other discomforts.
- Fatigue, including chronic fatigue syndrome, or a general feeling of being down.
- Most conditions that respond to drug treatment, respond even better to acupuncture and Chinese herbs - without side effects. However, we insist on partnering with your doctor to determine a proper course of treatment. Some medications need special care and planning.
- Most chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, and more respond extremely well to acupuncture.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture - Acupuncture Facelift
When you can enhance your whole self and look younger with acupuncture, there is no need to paralyze muscles. This non-toxic, health-promoting method uses the time-tested methods of Acupuncture and Chinese herbs to erase years from your face. The Acupuncture Facelift is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help your whole body look and feel younger.
What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a full body, constitutional treatment that also affects facial appearance by including facial acupuncture and facial massage. When the face is needled, there is an increase in circulation of blood, lymph and Qi to the face that stimulates collagen and elastin production and creates a radiance and glow to the skin. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a virtually painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. It helps the whole body look and feel younger by addressing the physical, mental and emotional patterns that cause disease and contribute to the aging process.
Why choose this over surgery or botox?
Acupuncture is a less expensive, non-invasive and holistic alternative to botox or cosmetic surgery. The results from facial rejuvenation acupuncture (FRA) are more gradual, not an over-night transformation like surgery or botox. If you wanted to reshape the structure of your face, cosmetic surgery would be a better choice. There are no side effects or recovery time with FRA, and it promotes a general sense of well being and self-worth.
What are the benefits?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture has both constitutional benefits as well as local facial benefits.
Some possible local benefits of the face:
Are there any Contra-indications?
Yes. It is contraindicated if you are pregnant, are HIV positive or have AIDS, cancer, hepatitis, severe migraines, high blood pressure, if you have a cold or flu, are having an acute herpes outbreak, or an acute allergic reaction.
If you have had laser resurfacing on the face, a chemical peel, or microdermabrasion it takes 2-3 weeks of recovery time. During this time, refrain from facial rejuvenation acupuncture.
How many treatments do I need?
It is recommended to have between 12-15 treatments, one to (preferably) two times per week for 90 minutes per treatment to attain sustainable results. After the first treatment, you may notice a feeling of tightening of the skin, a glow to the complexion, and clarity in the eyes. Many patients are also either very relaxed, or rejuvenated by the treatment.
Patients usually notice a significant change by around the seventh treatment, in both their appearance as well as in their body. By the end of the series, you should look and feel 5-15 years younger. This also depends on how well you took care of yourself during and after the treatments (healthy lifestyle, eating right, not smoking, etc).
Maintenance treatments are then recommended every 2 weeks for 2 months following the treatment series, then once a month, or seasonally to prolong the effects of the acupuncture.
Of course a patient can decide to go through another treatment series when they feel necessary.

What do Chinese Medicinals work for?
Chinese Herbs can treat all sorts of conditions. They can target pain in certain areas of the body and differentiate between chronic pain and acute pain whether it’s back pain, neck pain, knees, ankles, shoulders, etc. They can aid with sleep, anxiety and depression. They can increase immunity and help fight off and shorten symptoms of colds and flus. They can help alleviate and mitigate the sufferings of seasonal allergies. They can help with all sorts of digestion issues. They can help with women’s health – menopausal or menstrual issues. They can help with headaches and migraines. In short Chinese medicinals, just like acupuncture, can probably help. Just ask!
A division of the National Institute of Health - the National Center for Complimentary and Integrative Health says: "Chinese herbal products have been studied for many medical problems, including stroke, heart disease, mental disorders, and respiratory diseases (such as bronchitis and the common cold), and a national survey showed that about one in five Americans use them"
And the Cleveland Clinic (renown in the world of Allopathic medicine) has this to say about Chinese Medicinals:
"Herbal therapy is important in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been used for centuries in China, where herbs are considered fundamental therapy for many acute and chronic conditions. Like acupuncture, Chinese herbs can address unhealthy body patterns that manifest in a variety of symptoms and complaints. The aims of Chinese herbal therapy are to help you regain balance in your body and to strengthen your body’s resistance to disease. Chinese herbs may be used to:
Decrease cold/flu symptoms
Increase your energy
Improve your breathing
Improve digestion
Improve your sleep
Decrease pain
Improve menopausal symptoms
Help regulate menstrual cycles (if infertility is an issue)
Chinese herbal therapy can also be valuable following cancer treatment to aid the body’s recovery from the after-effects of chemotherapy and/or radiation. Chinese herbs are useful in the rehabilitation from many chronic diseases, as well. Chinese herbal therapy may be recommended when you have multiple symptoms or symptoms that are hard to pinpoint, or if you have exhausted traditional medical options and nothing seems to help. Chinese herbal medicine may also be useful when you need therapy to counteract side effects of prescription medications. Finally, Chinese herbal therapy is beneficial as preventive medicine."
