What We Treat In Houston, TX
- Sequelae of stroke
- Hemiparalysis, or hemiplegia, is a common condition of severe cerebrovascular incidents such as stroke. Traditional western medicine offers very little help in the recovery of hemiparalysis. Physical therapy is helpful, but acupuncture is by far the best choice in treating this very debilitating condition. Interested readers are encouraged to watch a very touching 2009 documentary movie called “9000 Needles”. It is a film about the story of a young husband and father and his family struggling to deal with the aftermath of a devastating stroke.
- Complications of diabetes such as neuropathy & non-healing skin sores
- Symptoms associated with cancer therapy. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are known to play a very useful role as complementary treatments of conditions related to cancer.

- Sexual dysfunctions and infertility. Sexual dysfunctions of both male and female are in general within the scope of Chinese medicine. Issues such as erectile dysfunction (ED) are routinely dealt with in acupuncture clinics. Other conditions include low sperm count or low sperm mobility etc. In particular, IVF (in vitro fertilization), as a revolutionary medical technique that helps so many people to fulfill their dreams of having babies, benefits tremendously from Chinese medicine. Modern biology offers limited successful rate for the implantation in mother’s uterus making IVF procedure very costly and risky. Acupuncture can triple the successful rate of IVF, sometimes up to 70-80%%. This is a very exciting perspective in terms of the application of acupuncture.
