Long-term healing in patients with underlying causes of the ACC and Countermeasures (f)

Dr. Huang Wenchuan

For Chinese medicine speaking, ACC policies and regulations, a registered Chinese medicine doctors can only do ACC patients with acupuncture, massage, cupping and other methods of treatment, but not to provide traditional Chinese medicine(herbs), Chinese medicine treatment(herbs) if ACC patients need only pay the cost of treatment the patients themselves. This case is two years ago, I treated patients, today brought together to discuss with you.

Mr. M, male, aged 70, in the pedestrian passage through the road when the car hit the back, was unconscious, was taken by ambulance to the hospital, emergency treatment, sober, but that can not recall the accident after he was sent how to the hospital do not know, fortunately, the body does not fight the trauma, suffering only superficial, CT examination and no brain abnormalities, the doctor diagnosed as a concussion, was discharged three days the hospital for observation.

After discharge, still stretching, dizziness, walking is not practical, diet, sleep properly. But the biggest problem is not to cross the road, a cross the road, went middle of the road, you feel the car to open up, fear, fear, do not know which direction to go, so he did not dare go out for some time. In local cities, he found a few traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, headache, dizziness has improved, but the fear of crossing the road has not improved at all. Family doctor introduced him to a psychiatrist, psychological treatment, the fear abated.

One year later, the patient remains headache, stretching, dizziness, memory loss and obviously feel, read for half an hour, do not know what to write the book, he had to interrupt his university courses are learning. Walking on the road, still feeling slightly afraid. Year, many times in the local city to accept acupuncture treatment, be effective, but he was not satisfied, so he take the bus to Auckland to receive my treatment. In accordance with his medical history, symptoms (headache, dizziness, memory loss, inability to concentrate, poor sleep), and check (no abnormal neurological examination), diagnosis of “traumatic brain injury sequelae,” to give acupuncture, Chinese medicine, comprehensive treatment .

Patients are patients with ACC, but ACC has given him many times acupuncture treatment, acupuncture has been re-apply for ACC can not, traditional Chinese medicine treatment for ACC has no policy to ensure reimbursement. Therefore, the costs of treating patients only on his own to resolve, the patient comes to the family situation, solve their own money is impossible, only to abandon treatment. Confidence in me to see patients, the pain of the disease, and urgent treatment of mood, I think of the New Zealand government, New Zealand workers received Bureau (working and income). I wrote a letter, and the approximate cost of acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the patient went to see the work close Bureau. A week later, the patient called to inform the workers close to the Oakland Board agreed that he received my treatment. However, limited reimbursement of expenses each time, I immediately agreed to patients to my clinic, acupuncture benefits, only charge the cost of traditional Chinese medicine.

About uninterrupted year of treatment, patients with headache, dizziness disappeared, memory, attention improved significantly more than an hour reading the book is not a problem, sleep better, crossing the road fear is gone. Patient back to his normal state of learning. Very grateful for his run so far, from another city to Auckland, uninterrupted year of treatment.

ACC patients need to pay the cost of treatment, but the ACC has a therapeutic treatment for any number of restrictions, including acupuncture. If the ACC really need to continue acupuncture patients, and families with financial difficulties, you can also apply to the Bureau of working and income  received acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, working and in come  bureau received a letter of recommendation based on family doctors, Chinese medicine doctors letter and disease conditions will be considered in patients with Chinese medicine treatment .

ACC patients not only need a lot of acupuncture, massage and other treatments, also need medicine treatment, but ACC is not responsible for reimbursement of traditional Chinese medicine, which requires patients themselves pay the cost of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. If the ACC  registered acupuncture doctors use  Chinese medicine treatment(herbs) for patients, ACC has the right to sue a doctor of acupuncture. Thus, ACC registered acupuncturist must own checks, do not do things contrary to policies ACC, ACC patients also knew that not a difficult one, law-abiding is the obligation of every citizen.

Dr. Huang Wenchuan

Today admissions of a Korean-American women, aged 32, she was born in the United States has not said a Korean. Her two weeks ago from Hawaii to Oakland to settle. Patients have been sick more than a decade, his eyes dry, depending on the material a bit vague, general weakness, fatigue. With the West’s words, is LOW ENERGY, literal translation is low energy, less air is able to paraphrase. Today, do not say what disease she had was a single from her doctor about the course I thought.

Ten years, she sought medical treatment numerous Western medicine, Chinese medicine, physical therapy, spine division, why did not cure her illness, I think a main reason she did not find a doctor about her illness. What disease she is suffering from it in the end, according to my diagnosis, I think she is shoulder fasciitis, which is a disease can be cured, after a period of treatment, I will tell you that treatment outcomes. Doctors believe she is fatigue syndrome, depression, to give western medicine did not improve; spine spine division that she is unbalanced, the spinal adjustment, the temporarily improved; Chinese medicine, her qi, qi and blood treatment, did not get satisfactory results; after rehabilitation therapy, is effective short-term, patients have lost confidence in medicine. I’ve talked a lot about the shoulder fasciitis this disease, the best treatment is medicine. Is diagnosed correctly, the disease, the medicine is really no use, though a aseptic inflammation, anti-inflammatory analgesics should be useful, but it is chronic inflammation, severe muscle fibrosis, these drugs may temporarily relieve pain basically no effect; spine treatment division, but if you work on spinal adjustments, certainly no long-term effects of this disease, there must be an imbalance of the spine, muscle inflammation, but it is muscle tension, and stretch the spine, spinal muscular adjustment would not solve the The fasciitis; physical therapy can relieve muscle tension, inflammation is less satisfactory; if Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine, acupuncture, orthopedic massage treatment on both the right, the effect is self-healing, I have testified numerous successful cases.

Her last Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine clinics in Hawaii, a doctor from mainland China, adhere to four months before and after the day a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, one week secondary acupuncture. Why is this medicine doctors did not treat her illness is good, brought from her illness, treatment of letter of recommendation I can see that this is a traditional Chinese medicine doctors trained and experienced in Chinese medicine. Prescription medicine is the right path and dialectical in place, reasonable prescription, but the doctor’s prescription I would not be as acupuncture, acupuncture point and a half sheet of paper, to see that the doctors do not understand Chinese acupuncture. Patient said, rolling from head to toe every time you want more than a hundred needles, acupuncture this is it? Is not acupuncture, acupuncture simply see a little book, that does not mean that acupuncture ah! This flicker of patients, the last flicker of their own, four patients did not cure the disease, but lost the confidence of patients treated, four months to get the economic benefits are only temporary, and lost the trust of the patient’s long-term, patient Chinese medicine treatment, I do not find him, but around her friends and know people will find his treatment of a doctor. So the doctor is only a pulse of the medical prescriptions, rather than with acupuncture and orthopedic massage techniques, but do not have the Western diagnostic techniques, so that medical treatment is not good in this disease.

The patients less anemic, according to TCM is that Qi. Patients speak whisper, check the patient looking minimalist, pale tongue, thready pulse, also verified in patients with deficiency. Generally speaking, qi is the gas shortage, the body of the gas is not sufficient, need to qi, qi is necessary to use traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus, Codonopsis, angelica, etc., necessary to use reinforcing method of acupuncture, supposedly so that after treatment the patient will feel full strength, Why not treat these patients with shoulder fasciitis effect? Because the patient’s body is no shortage of gas, not lack of energy, but the qi, meridians are not painful, essence does not flow in the body, so for these patients, instead of traditional Chinese medicine is to ease up. For the acupuncture treatment, depression is the evidence, to use the reducing method. I usually take the first Tianzhu points, so the waist and lower extremities in patients with active, then acupuncture yang chi point, the patient arm and upper body activity, the last patient lying belly, take back acupoints, such as heart Shu, Shu liver, spleen Shu and so on. These patients, I also take the tank bladder full sun treatment for the purpose of play to clear the meridian. Sometimes the acupuncture points on the back, Bloodletting and cupping.

For traditional Chinese medicine, the liver qi is necessary, blood circulation network. I tend to Tonga with the Bupleurum keel oyster blood agent, Chinese medicine has Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Pinellia, Poria, Radix Codonopsis, Gui, rhubarb, licorice, keel, oysters, peach, Salvia, etc.

Generally believed that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of disease is slow, but I do not think so. Three pay down of traditional Chinese medicine, should be effective, a week off, should be significantly effective, the treatment two weeks if still no results, you should think of the treatment is symptomatic, it is necessary to change the treatment for patients, two weeks still no effect , it is necessary for a doctor, how the doctors here are still four months of treatment does. I admire the doctors, he was the method used to treat four patients a day, drink a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture twice a week, since there is no treatment, the doctor works and what methods were explained ah. Chinese medical treatment for those patients who are helpless, free of Western medicine can not solve their pain, they are full of Chinese goodwill and trust of his own pocket, hoping medicine can treat their patients heal. As a Chinese doctor in more than grateful to them, patients should give us the opportunity to cherish.

(09/12/10) After my treatment, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, cupping, patients feel significant improvement in dry eye was significantly reduced, many times a day before the eye, and now also three times, improved energy, sleep, diet also significantly improved , urinate less often, go to the toilet several times a day, now normal. That is two weeks of treatment has paid off, patients are very satisfied! Continue treatment two weeks, treatment should be ended, to enable patients to exercise their own and adjust.

Tendinitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of a tendon, which is the fibrous structure that joins muscle to bone. Tendinitis pain in the knee is located in the front of the knee. The pain gets worse when going up and down stairs or inclines. Tendinitis knee pain can happen in runners, skiers, and cyclists.

Tips for Finding an Acupuncturist

When seeking out a professional acupuncturist, it is important to ensure that the acupuncturist is licensed and certified. Sterilising procedures should be used and more often than not, your acupuncturist will likely use disposable needles. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of needles, an acupuncturist may provide alternatives such as herbal methods, magnetic needles and ear cups. These are thought to provide similar results although are not considered as effective as acupuncture that utilises needles.
Whatever path you take to treating your knee pain and tendinitis, you can be relieved to know that you have many options, particularly alternative ones such as acupuncture. Hopefully, you will find a qualified acupuncturist who can listen to your concerns about knee pain and begin a treatment plan that provides effective relief.

By Dr Win Huang

acupuncture-for-laiShoulder pain is a common problem right now, it is only symptom, Shoulder pain involves any pain in or around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The rotator cuff in the shoulder is made up of four tendons. These tendons give the shoulder a wide range of motion. the tendons pass underneath a rigid bony arch in the shoulder. The most common cause of shoulder pain is when the tendons become trapped under this arch. The compressed tendons become inflamed or damaged.

Shoulder pain can also be due to: Arthritis in the joints around the shoulder, Bursitis (inflammation of a fluid-filled sac, or bursa, that lies between tendon and skin or between tendon and bone). Normally a bursa protects the joint and helps make movement more fluid. Fractures of the shoulder bones. Frozen shoulder syndrome occurs when the muscles, tendons, and ligaments stiffen up inside the shoulder and make any motion painful and difficult. Inflammation of nearby tendons, such as those connected to the bicep muscles of your arms, from overuse or injury. Dislocation of your shoulder, which is when the ball-shaped head of your arm comes out of the socket.

In Chinese medicine the shoulder is belong to “Bi syndrome” it is due to be invaded by bad wind, cold and damp, or stagnation of Qi and Blood of body,or weakness of Liver and Kidney function of Chinese medicine, or weakness in Qi and Blood of Chinese medicine.

For slight pain on shoulder, I choose distal point on hand ,for example, zhongzhu, acupuncture on zhongzhu, patient feels tension and numb on point, then let patient move shoulder about ten minutes. more patients will feel much better, the shoulder pain is gone immediately after 3—5 session treatments.

For sereve shoulder pain, and without limited movement of shoulder, firstly I will choose distal points, let patient move shoulder, then choose local points on shoulder, for example jianyu, jianjing,and tianzhong. Finally Also doing treatment massage for these patients.

For severe shoulder pain with limited movement of shoulder, firstly I do acupuncture and treatment massage ,then doing cupping is necessary.
