Most people have a problem with the idea of sticking needles into their body to alleviate pain or certain symptoms that have caused recurring problems in their body. I must admit that with the kind of job and lifestyle that I have, muscle pain, stress, and even PMS symptoms return like clockwork every month. I do my best to maintain a proper diet and stay away from unhealthy vices including popping over the counter pills to ease my pain. For hundreds of years, Oriental medicine has proven its natural and holistic approach to curing and alleviating diseases, pain, and other symptoms that have been affecting the human body. Dr. Lee Chinese Acupuncture is one of the best solutions to my recurring physical complaints. Most people would go get a massage or pop a pill to alleviate pain but often times we forget that perhaps self-prescription does more harm than good to the body especially if you go to a therapist that does not know what they are doing or touching in your body. I believe in Western medicine but I also believe in trying Alternative Medicine before infusing the body with chemicals that may cause other side effects in the long run. Tucked in the heart of "Williamsburgos", you will find Dr. Lee's aptly named domain. The clinic is not a spa but it is a place where one could possibly find a solution to the blockages that cause pain in the body. Problems such as hair loss, migraine, shoulder pain, back pain, pms, respiratory problems, neck pain, diabetes, hypertension, weight problems, and others can be addressed through acupuncture. It is not the only solution but it offers some pretty surprising and effective results. Like with most doctors, you start with a consultation telling Dr. Lee the symptoms you are feeling as well as what you would like to achieve. He then recommends a treatment for you and as you lay on the treatment bed in your cubicle, you will feel him map your body and with a slight pinching feeling, he applies the sterile needle on the exact point. By stimulating acupoints and releasing the blocks in your body, the needles that penetrate your body allow for better flow and self-healing. Couple this as well with the cupping or ventosa therapy, you will come out of a session feeling a new sense of flow in your body. One session doesn't fix all but it sure does help! If you're not afraid of needles and you don't mind trying something new to help alleviate the pain or problems in your body, I would definitely recommend this service and treatment! read more
