Yang Chen

In New Zealand there are thousand of Chinese medicine doctors, some of them are good and professional Chinese medicine doctors, but some of them are no good and unprofessional. It is difficult to patient to look for or choose a good and professional Chinese medicine doctor, because they do not know and understand the Chinese medicine’ system of education and practice in china \ new Zealand and in the world. I know that in china a good name Chinese medicine doctor must studied in Chinese medicine university for 5 years, and practiced in Chinese medicine hospital or in Chinese medicine department of western medicine hospital for several years. It is a fact to there is a Chinese medicine university and Chinese medicine hospital in every province of china, so a Chinese medicine doctor who come from china need get a certificate of Chinese medicine university and a certification of Chinese hospital, then the Chinese medicine doctor can practice in New Zealand in Chinese medicine clinic very well. It is a fact too to there are different departments of Chinese medicine university and of Chinese medicine hospital, so Chinese medicine students will mainly study different subjects and Chinese medicine doctors will practice in different Chinese medicine departments, it is that some of them mainly practice acupuncture, some of them mainly do Chinese medicine massage, some of them mainly take herbs medicine. If you would like look for acupuncturists to help you, you have choosed the acupuncturists who studied acupuncture in Chinese medicine university and practiced acupuncture in hospital. Why I will recommend “Dr Win Huang” to you , these reasons below are important.

1, Dr Win Huang got the doctoral degree in acupuncture in china. He had studied west medicine in HeZe west medicine college for three years from 1981 to 1984, then he had practiced neurology for five years in Zaozhuang hospital from 1984 to 1989. because he is interested in acupuncture, He went to Heilongjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine University to study acupuncture in 1989, he spend for six years studying, he got his Master degree and doctoral degree in acupuncture in 1992 and 1995.at present he is one of the highest degree in acupuncture area in New Zealand.

2, Dr Win Huang learned from famous acupuncture expert and professor. Dr Shen Tian Sun is a full professor and expert in acupuncture, he is a good name and famous doctor in the world, he still is working in hospital in china. Dr Win Huang had been learning from Dr Sun for six years from 1989 to 1995, Dr Win Huang learn about more acupuncture clinical experience from Dr Sun, which is important to Dr Win Huang’ clinical practice in hospital,.the six years’ studying from Dr Sun is a important factor, Dr Win Huang was a good name and famous Chinese medicine doctor in Shandong province hospital in china, when Dr Win Huang was very young about 37 years old, and was a professor in Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine University and Shandong Medical University.

3, Dr Win Huang has abundant acupuncture clinical experience. Firstly Dr Win Huang had learned from Dr Sun for six years, it is important six years for enriching his clinical experience. Secondly Dr Win Huang has been practicing acupuncture for twenty two years from 1989, and worked in the Acupuncture Department of Shandong Province Hospital as a expert and professor, and he has a professional acupuncture clinic in New Market Auckland New Zealand from 2003. in this twenty two years he has been healing lots of common and special problem with acupuncture, such as headache, dizziness( vertigo), stroke, occipital neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, dry eye, dry throat, facial palsy, noise in ear, lower jaw joint disorder, myasthenia gravis, swallowing problem, stiff neck, pain on neck, cervical spondylosis, back pain, fascilis, shoulder pain, bursitis, periarthritis of shoulder, pain on elbow,  carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness on hands, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) , pain on chest, intercostals neuralgia, sense of suppression in the chest, palpitation, nausea vomiting, stomachache, hiccup, abdominal distension, lower abdominal pain, painful menstruation, menopause, abnormal menstruation, impotence, premature ejaculation, strain low back, sprain sacroiliac joint, arthritis of sacroiliac joint, pain on hips, arthritis of hips, sacroiliac joint inflammation, sciatica, protrusion of the intervertebral disc, muscle strain, arthritis of knee joint, pain on knee, tendonitis of quadriceps, achilles tendonitis, pain on calcaneus, pain on ankle, sprain ankle, ligament sprain, sacroiliac sprain, diarrhoea, constipation, frequently pass water pee, urinate frequently, myophagism, paralysis, cerebral paralysis, paraplegia, facial muscle spasm, sinusitis, cough, asthma,, whelk, acne, chronic fatigue, low energy, depression, insomnia, low immunity, anxiety, loss weight, gout, morning sick, beautify, stress, high blood pressure, make good health, regulate body good condition etc. I am learning from him, I can feel his enrich clinical experience in treating above problem.

Acupuncture and quadriceps tendonitis

By Dr Win Huang

Mr. Aaron saw me yesterday, he have a knee pain for six months. He did heavy lifting six months ago, he felt sudden pain on left knee, it became better slowly itself, only litter pain after exercise, or longer standing, so he did not do anything, but in this two months it become worse than before, severe pain on the knee when he stand from sitting or semi-squat, specially he fell worse after lifting in gym, swelling on knee and painful.  He had been treated by western medicine and points pressure, but he did feel the effect, So he find me from internet and come to see me, want to try acupuncture.

I did examination for him, finding his left knee is swelling, see the photo below,and pressing pain on top of knee(L). so I think he suffer from the quadriceps tendonitis.

swelling left knee

normal right knee

big different from both right and left knees

patient feels much better,after two weeks acupuncture. see the photo taked in 19/01/2011,we can find the different before and after treatment.



What is the Quadriceps tendonitis? it is the inflammation and irritation of the quadriceps tendon. The quadriceps tendon connects the large quadriceps muscle to the knee. Quadriceps tendonitis is a very common condition amongst athletes and sports people who are involved in activities that place excess strain and the knees and legs. The information on this page will help your recognize the symptoms of quadriceps tendonitis, treat them and prevent them returning.

What reason cause the quadriceps tendonitis? Quadriceps tendonitis usually occurs as a result of overdoing an activity and placing too much stress on the quadriceps tendon before it is strong enough to handle the stress. This is often the case when an athlete is returning to training after a period of rest. This overuse results in ‘micro tears’ in the quadriceps tendon which leads to inflammation and pain. Over time damage to the quadriceps tendon can occur. In extreme cases, the quadriceps tendon may become damaged to the point of complete rupture.

What symptom is the quadriceps tendonitis? Common symptoms of quadriceps tendonitis include:

1) Pain when you move your knee, due to friction as the tendon moves over the knee, could be an indication you have quadriceps tendonitis. The pain is usually slight, but will get worse as the condition develops.

2) Swelling around the area where the quadriceps muscle meets the knee.

3) A feeling or “warmth” or “burning” in the area.

4) Stiffness of the knee. Especially during and after exercise, at night and first thing in the morning.

5) Localized tenderness that increases as you move your knee.

From over information we can know the patient suffer from the tendonitis of quadriceps, so I did first acupuncture for him yesterday, I have confidence, he will get improvement after one term treatment, I will tell you the result of acupuncture.

These causes can lead to what’s called “local qi and blood congestion in the channels” according to Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM. TCM, as you may know by now, includes acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Acupuncture needles are inserted at or very near to the source of the pain. This addresses the local symptoms by improving the circulation of qi and blood in the affected area.

Chinese herbs can reduce the inflammation in soft tissues and strengthen the tendons. In TCM, one of the functions of the liver is to control and moisten the tendons and ligaments. Therefore, healthy liver function is expressed in ease of movement. Acupuncture and herbs for tendonitis usually involve treating the liver also.

People with severe tendonitis may have to stop work that aggravates the condition, at least for a while. Less severe cases can be treated quite successfully with acupuncture and kept from becoming debilitating. Both acupuncture and Chinese herbs are extremely effective in treating tendonitis. Acupuncture, in particular, is the treatment of choice, giving excellent results in both acute and chronic cases. Acute cases can often be resolved in a few treatments. However, many people with this problem present with very chronic conditions. These cases can be treated with good results too, but the more long-standing the condition, the longer it will take to resolve.

Tendonitis is one of the most common afflictions and can especially affect us as we age, but it need not be inevitable. It is possible to take steps to minimize or prevent it altogether. As is often the case with many conditions, the two most important areas in life to attend to in order to prevent it are exercise and diet. Regular acupuncture “tune-ups” can also aid in preventing the development of tendonitis in the first place, as well as preventing a recurrence of tendonitis once it has been relieved.

If you’re suffering from acute or chronic tendonitis, give us a call and we’d be glad to schedule an appointment for you.

Dizziness

URL of this page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003093.htm

Dizziness is light-headedness, feeling like you might faint, being unsteady, loss of balance, or vertigo (a feeling that you or the room is spinning or moving).

Most causes of dizziness are not serious and either quickly get better on their own or are easily treated.

Causes

Light-headedness happens when there is not enough blood getting to the brain. This can happen if there is a sudden drop in your BLOOD PRESSURE or you are dehydrated from vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or other causes. Many people, especially as they get older, experience light-headedness if they get up too quickly from a lying or seated position. Light-headedness often accompanies the FLU, HYPOGLYCEMIA ,COMMON COLD, or allergies.

More serious conditions that can lead to light-headedness include heart problems (such as abnormal heart rhythm or HEART ATTACK), STROKE, and severe drop in blood pressure . If any of these serious disorders is present, you will usually have additional symptoms like chest pain, a feeling of a racing heart, loss of speech, change in vision, or other symptoms.

The most common causes of vertigo are benign positional vertigo and labyrinthitis.BENIGN POSITIONAL VERTIGO  is vertigo that happens when you change the position of your head. LABYRINTHITIS usually follows a cold or flu and is caused by a viral infection of the inner ear.MENIERE’S DISEASE is another common inner ear problem. It causes vertigo, loss of balance, and ringing in the ears.

Much less commonly, vertigo or feeling unsteady is a sign of stroke, multiple sclerosis, seizures, a brain tumor, or a bleed in your brain. In such conditions, other symptoms usually accompany the vertigo or imbalance.

Home Care

If you tend to get light-headed when you stand up, avoid sudden changes in posture.

If you are thirsty or light-headed, drink fluids. If you are unable to keep fluids down from nausea or vomiting, you may need intravenous fluids. These are delivered to you at the hospital.

Most times, benign positional vertigo and labyrinthitis go away on their own within a few weeks. During attacks of vertigo from any cause, try to rest and lie still. Avoid sudden changes in your position as well as bright lights. Be cautious about driving or using machinery.

Some vertigo can be reduced by working with a physical therapist. Medications from your doctor may help you feel better.

Such medications include antihistamines, sedatives, or pills for nausea. For Meniere’s disease, surgery may be necessary.

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Call 911 or go to an emergency room if someone with dizziness also has:

  • A head injury
  • Fever over 101°F, headache, or very stiff neck
  • Convulsions or ongoing vomiting
  • Chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness, inability to move an arm or leg, or change in vision or speech
  • Fainting and losing consciousness for more than a few minutes

Call your doctor if:

  • You have never had dizziness before.
  • Symptoms you have had in the past are different (for example, last longer than usual, are worse than before, or are interfering with your daily activities).
  • Medication is the suspected cause. Talk to your health care provider before making any changes to your medication.
  • You have any hearing loss.

What to Expect at Your Office Visit

Your doctor will perform a physical exam, focusing on your heart, head, ears, and nervous system, and ask question such as:

  • Does your dizziness feel like light-headedness, vertigo, or imbalance?
  • Does your dizziness occur with a change in body position?
  • What other symptoms occur when you feel dizzy?
  • When did your dizziness begin?
  • Are you always dizzy or does the dizziness come and go?
  • How long does the dizziness last (minutes, hours)?
  • Did another illness develop before or after the dizziness began? How much later?
  • Have you had any NAUSEA AND WOMOTING?
  • Do you have a significant amount of stress or anxiety?

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:

. BLOOD PRESSURE measurements and tests

  • ECG
  • Hearing tests
  • Neurological tests
  • Balance testing  may be required
  • MRI

Prevention

Promptly treat ear infections, colds, flu, sinus congestion, and other respiratory infections. This may help prevent labyrinthitis and Meniere’s disease.

If you have a cold, the flu, or other viral illness, drink plenty of fluids to prevent getting dehydrated.

Alternative Names

Light-headedness – dizzy; Loss of balance; Vertigo
