CARING ACUPUNCTURE

Caring Acupuncture is created by Tetsuhiro Ueno, Licensed Acupuncturist, who thinks sincere and caring approach to every patients will enhance the effectiveness of Acupuncture treatment.

Oriental Medicine (OM) or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medical system that includes acupuncture, acupressure, herbs, exercise and nutrition. Unlike Western medicine which attempts to isolate and separate a disease from a person, OM or TCM emphasizes a holistic approach that treats the whole person.

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve function. This is done by inserting sterilized, stainless-steel needles (that are as fine as a human hair) into specific points located near or on the surface of the skin which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to treat a wide variety of illnesses.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine are extremely successful in the treatment of many conditions. Many people try Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as a "last resort" to serious and complex medical problems and find that it can help them when other treatments could not.

The most common problems presented to an acupuncturist tend to be pain related conditions, such as arthritis, back, neck, knee and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica. However, Oriental Medicine is a complete medical system that is capable of diagnosing and successfully treating a wide range of conditions
