Conditions Treated
In Chinese medicine, no symptom is considered to be unimportant or foolish. You may be consulting for an inconvenient symptom without suffering from an illness that requires complex medical treatment. On the other hand, acupuncture can give back quality of life for certain chronic and greatly handicapping conditions amongst which some autoimmune diseases for which occidental medicine has reached its limits. In such cases, one should think “complementarity”.
As a front-line health worker, having received basic training in occidental pathology, I consider my duty to refer you to an emergency room or to a doctor if a problem requires more thorough investigation.
While Being a grneral practionner of acupuncture, I have a particular interest in:
- Treatment of gynecologic problems, infertility, pregnancy and menopause.
- Treatment of pain, namely musculoskeletal, myofascial and “trigger points” (cervical, dorsal, lumbar, articular…)
- Treatment of psychological and emotional troubles (anxiety, depression, stress, post-traumatic shock, etc.)
- Establishment of links between traditional wisdom and recent scientific research; clinical application of modern techniques (LASER).
- Facial Acupuncture
- Japanese acupuncture, according to the teachings of Master Nagano and Kiiko Matsumoto.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of conditions which can be treated with acupuncture.
If you can’t find your symptoms on these lists or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call me at 514-947-6565.
