AMMA Therapy® focuses on the flow and balance of vital energy known as Qi or Chi within the human body. In as much as a practitioner of acupuncture uses needles into meridians or energy pathways to stimulate and move Qi, the herbalist, on the other hand, makes use of herbal preparations to elicit the same effects. The Amma Therapist® mainly relies on the strength and the sensitivity of his/her hands, to control the flow and balance Qi. ​ Trained and skilled in associated modes of healing such as the proper selection, combining and application of herbal formulas, moxibustion (the burning of moxa herb over a pressure point), acupuncture, skeletal manipulation, meditation, and nutritional therapy, the Amma Therapist® deals with problems related to the movement and balance of energy in the meridians, also known as channels. These channels form an energetic network all over the body. They provide nutrition to the body and defend it as well. These channels are also where harmful energies can enter into the deeper parts of the body. Good health depends on the free and harmonized flow of Qi via the meridians and so it is important to maintain this free and balanced movement at all times. All the methods of the most important kinds of therapeutic massage are used in AMMA Therapy®. The point manipulation and deep pressure techniques used in shiatsu massage are also adopted in AMMA Therapy® to help produce the desired results of muscle tightness relaxation and Qi movement. AMMA Therapy® also borrows methods from a common therapy known as foot reflexology in which foot reflex pressure points are activated during treatment. When these points are stimulated, it leads to profound effects on the body’s deep tissues and organs. Techniques used in rolfing including the manipulation of connective tissue and deep fascia techniques, are also utilized by Advanced AMMA Therapists®, as well as Swedish or European massage techniques of muscle stretching and pushing. Skeletal manipulation techniques, which are used in chiropractic medicine is also a skill that a Master AMMA Therapist® is well trained in. We can thus see that AMMA Therapy® is not just all about a specific technique; it is actually an exhaustive healing art with a stated purpose and principle and a complex and refined mode of practice. This therapy considers multidirectional points of view and taps into these various systems to resolve all problems. To evaluate organ dysfunction, AMMA Therapy® utilizes a type of assessment that integrates the knowledge and techniques used in Western and Eastern medicine. This therapy combines traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional Asian medical principles and a Western approach to observe energy imbalances and resolve them. AMMA Therapy® adopts a TCM diagnosis known as the Four Traditional Methods: observing, questioning, smelling, and palpating. This diagnosis also involves the evaluation of every facet of the body-mind complex, the taking of various pulses, assessment of the tongue; regulation of diet; palpation; posture, complexion, bowel movements, vitality, emotions, sounds, personal likes and dislikes, tastes, and smells. The body’s internal state of health can be known by every manifested signs and symptoms. T his information also determines the psychological state of the patient and the prognosis of the imbalance or sickness. Certain parts of the body can be considered as a microcosm of the entire body, telling us a great deal about the entire body. Once an integrated evaluation and a diagnosis of organ malfunctions and energy imbalances is made, the Amma therapist can then begin treatment by skillfully using his/her fingers and hands to eliminate obstructions, allow energy to flow freely, and move that energy to the affected parts of the body. Tens of thousands of years ago, primitive man rubbed his body as a natural way of relieving pain. Some believe that AMMA first evolved from early trials with rubbing that entailed the pulling and pushing of muscles in the body. However, the highly sophisticated techniques of AMMA make this theory untenable. This theory is based on evolution. However, some people believe that Amma as well as several other Oriental healing practices, is actually a devolution of some kind. The Chinese and Japanese forms Amma(AnMa/AnMo) seem to be a devolution from the original in which only the basic massage techniques are used, whereas the potency and subtlety of Amma that was mentioned in ancient documents seem to have disappeared. Traditional Asian medicine starting with the mapping of the energy patterns thousands of years ago, was a bit more profound then as our ancestors were more finely tuned to their subtle experiences compared to the people living in this postmodern age; our ancestors were more conscious of their bodies and could sense the Qi flowing in their bodily systems. Ancient Traditional Asian healers may have never been able to literally see the inside of a human body; yet, in spite of that, they were able to accurately map out acupuncture points and understood the specific physiological effects of those points on the body. They were able to design charts that intricately denoted the parts of the body where the channels can be found and their corresponding pressure points, much of which has bee confirmed by modern Western studies. The ancient documents of the “soft” or “inner” styles of the martial arts also reveal a subtlety, sensitivity, and awareness that is found in just a very few users of these healing and physical arts these days. It is extremely difficult to teach to others all types of arts particularly the ones that require kinesthetic awareness, great attention to detail, control, and extraordinary sensitivities. More often than not, it just leads to a degradation of the art, in which the more superficial and inferior forms of the original practices are imbibed by the student.

What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to help promote the flow of Chi and stimulate natural healing. It works by inserting thin needles into specific points in the body, stimulating nerve endings, and promoting the circulation of energy. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these needles help to restore balance to the body's energy system, allowing the body to heal itself naturally and promoting overall well-being. Research has found that acupuncture can effectively treat various conditions, including headaches, anxiety, digestive disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. In addition, it has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, boost immunity, improve energy levels, and reduce the effects of aging. Understanding Acupuncture According to many studies in animals and humans, acupuncture can cause many biological responses. Its effects can occur close to the site of application or at some distance throughout your body, primarily mediated by the central nervous system and its neurons. In some cases, the effects can be observed both locally and generally. The role of acupuncture in the body is still being researched to determine its efficacy and to understand its mechanism more. The most common focus on the uses of acupuncture is pain relief or what we call analgesia. It is not surprising since many people suffer from chronic illness such as rheumatoid arthritis, vertebral distortion and the likes which are undeniably painful. It has also been documented to have an effect towards the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. This supports the idea that acupuncture has broad spectrum systemic effects. Other studies have also shown that it has immunologic effects which are still unclear. Considerable efforts have been exerted to know more about acupuncture and its “acupuncture points” which still remain debatable. Despite the uncertainty of some information about the technique, it continues to play an important role in the evaluation of patients and the formulation of treatment in acupuncture. The specificity of biological changes of acupuncture in humans is still vague; therefore, accuracy in measuring the biological changes in control groups is vital. Some of the biological changes are that of blood pressure and the release of endogenous opioids. The therapeutic outcome may be influenced by many factors which include the degree of trust between the clinician and the patient, the quality of relationship, the compatibility of the backgrounds and belief systems of the acupuncturist and the patient, the expectations of the patient including the many factors that define the therapeutic setting. Some of the uses of acupuncture are its efficiency in treating nausea and vomiting in adults post-surgery or those under chemotherapy treatment and a number of other conditions. Despite these facts, research continues in order to define the role of acupuncture in healthcare. The method provides not only a chance to discover its many benefits in healthcare; it also opens an opportunity for exploration of human physiology not previously examined in a systematic manner. Although the full effect of the method still remain unclear, it is promising to note that research studies have already been delineated making it easier for further studies to trace the flow of improvements. It is wise to be open-minded about Oriental medicine if you are looking for a natural and drug free alternative to conditions successfully treated with acupuncture. The China Connection. Acupuncture originated in China wherein the energy flow “Qi” is considered important for a person’s health. A disruption of the energy flow throughout the body can result in illnesses or certain diseases. The theory states that needle insertion at certain points on our skin can actually alter some physiologic phenomenon in our body. Many Western doctors today include acupuncture as part of the healthcare interventions alongside the conventional ones. Sometimes you need to rely on more natural ways to counteract some diseases, stress or psychological bearings. As I mentioned earlier, one example is its efficacy in adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting. Generally, nausea and vomiting is the side effect of anesthesia during surgery and by the chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of cancer. Also noted is its efficacy in alleviating post-operative dental pain. It can also be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative in a comprehensive management program for menstrual cramps, asthma, tennis elbow, stroke rehabilitation, addiction, low back pain, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches. The resurgence of acupuncture alongside conventional treatment, has made it readily available for the public to benefit from. Just remember it’s important you choose the reliability of a New York acupuncturist who is licensed and certified. Check with a friend or relative if they know a good acupuncturist they’ve had results with. Read the testimonials on their website to see what others say about the practitioner and their skills and bedside manners. How Acupuncture Works As mentioned, acupuncture is based on the belief that the body has an internal energy system, known as "Chi" or life force energy, which flows through 14 distinct pathways throughout the body. When these pathways become blocked or out of balance, it can lead to physical and mental health issues. Acupuncture seeks to restore balance to the chi pathways by stimulating specific points along the energy pathways. This stimulation helps to release endorphins, which are natural painkillers, and increase blood flow, resulting in improved health and well-being. Does Acupuncture Hurt? Acupuncture needles are considered to be very safe, and acupuncture needles are sterile, disposable, and as thin as human hair. They are inserted into the skin at specific points and should not cause any pain or discomfort. However, some people may experience a slight prickling sensation when the needles are inserted, as well as a feeling of warmth or tingling in the area where the needles are placed. This is usually only temporary and is not considered to be painful. The needles may be left in place for a few minutes or up to an hour, depending on the desired outcomes of the treatment. Additionally, some practitioners may use heat, electricity, or massage in addition to the needles to further stimulate the Chi flow and improve the efficacy of the treatment. It is important to consult with your practitioner to ensure that you receive the most effective treatment for your individual needs. Schedule an Acupuncture Appointment BOOK AN APPOINTMENT Acupuncture for Low-Back Pain The evidence for acupuncture for various types of chronic pain is quite strong. According to the National Institutes of Health, multiple reviews have found that acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic low-back pain, as well as knee and hip osteoarthritis. A systematic review conducted by the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society concluded that for chronic lower back pain, acupuncture is one of several treatment options that may provide a small to moderate amount of relief. The research also suggested that acupuncture may be considered an alternative to conventional treatments, such as medications or physical therapy. Acupuncture for Headaches Yes, acupuncture is an effective treatment for headaches, including migraines and tension headaches. In one study, researchers found that people who received acupuncture had nearly 50 percent fewer days with tension headaches compared to those receiving conventional care. Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia Research suggests that acupuncture can offer many benefits for people with fibromyalgia, including reducing pain levels, improving sleep, and stimulating the immune system. Additionally, research has shown that acupuncture can have real effects on the brain structures involved in pain processing. Electroacupuncture (EA) appears to be especially effective for fibromyalgia, as studies have suggested that it may cause changes in the levels of two neurotransmitters—serotonin and substance P— which are key to FM. Acupuncture for Arthritis Pain Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be highly effective for the treatment of arthritis. Studies have found that TCM is effective in treating both rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disorder, and osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear on the joints. A review of 43 clinical studies showed that TCM for RA helps reduce inflammation and improve immune system function. Additionally, a review of eight clinical trials concluded that acupuncture was an effective treatment for reducing pain due to osteoarthritis. Furthermore, acupuncture treatment combined with Chinese herb supplements and personalized diet coaching has been shown to be effective at alleviating symptoms due to different types of arthritis, and may even be able to reverse and prevent further damage to the joints Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Studies have found that acupuncture is an effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and is more effective than usual care, including anti-inflammatory medications. It has been shown to successfully alleviate pain, inflammation, and numbness, and restore motor dexterity. Electromyography (EMG) testing has confirmed these results, showing improvements across multiple parameters. Additionally, a study conducted in Taiwan compared the effectiveness of acupuncture and steroid pills for hand and arm pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The researchers found that the group of patients who received eight acupuncture treatments over a one-month period reported more relief from their pain and that this relief lasted for a longer time than the relief reported by patients taking medication. Some Do’s and Don’ts Regarding Acupuncture Treatment You might not be sure about getting acupuncture New York because it is a treatment you are really not familiar with and all you’ve heard about this treatment is that it uses needles which already raise scary thoughts about it. You may also wonder about how much it costs but you may be attracted to it because you know it as an all natural treatment that has been around for a long time. The first thing you can do is to go and visit an acupuncturist who can also be your doctor since a lot of physicians are now practicing medical acupuncturists. You can inquire all about this treatment and if it can treat your specific health problem. Do not be ashamed to ask questions that deal with this treatment and about the qualifications, credentials and experience of the acupuncturist. Conferring with the acupuncturist regarding any concerns gives you peace of mind and makes you better informed about what acupuncture can do. If you have undergone acupuncture treatment, the next best thing to do is to drink copious amounts of fluids. You need to stay hydrated to wash away toxins that may need a little help to push them out of the body system. You might experience specific body aches if you are not fully hydrated. After drinking fluids, you may need to rest your body. Sometimes after an acupuncture treatment, you might feel tired. You can rest or sleep if you want to. Do not expose yourself to a full day of work if possible after you have been treated with acupuncture. If after treatment you might feel energized, you can be active but be sure not to stress yourself. Another thing you should do after an acupuncture treatment is to avoid drinking alcohol. You need to refrain from drinking alcohol at least for one full day (24 hours). One main reason to refrain from alcohol intake is that the body has more difficulty in filtering out toxins from the body. The fact is alcohol does add more toxins to the body causing the liver and kidney to overwork and damaging them as well. One thing you can do also is to eat healthy diets. Acupuncture has restored balance in the body and this balance can be thrown into disarray once again when you eat a poor unhealthy diet. If you do want to eat junk foods then eat them as minimally as possible and not regularly. Foods rich in proteins and vegetables are best to help you maintain proper balance in the body. Before and after undergoing acupuncture, do not travel long distances for at least a day. Allow your body to completely rest to be able to maximize the benefits of the treatment.

One of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Medical Qigong corrects the bio-energetic imbalances and blockages by regulating the patients’ Qi. Qigong (“chee-gong”) is an over five-thousand year-old Chinese health method that combines slow graceful movements with mental concentration and breathing to increase and balance a person’s vital energy. It has been popularly referred to as Chinese yoga. Qigong is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal medicine. Literally millions of people practice Qigong in China and around the world each day to successfully treat diseases ranging from osteoarthritis to cancer, to improve their overall health. Benefits of Qigong practice include optimizing the delivery of oxygen and nutrition to the tissues, increasing the efficiency of cellular metabolism, altering neurochemistry towards healing, managing pain and mood, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and facilitating relaxation and mental focus. Qigong can be done anywhere, anytime. It can be practiced while sitting, standing, moving, not moving, or lying down. It is excellent for stress reduction, prevention of illness, dealing with chronic illness, healthy and active aging, and longevity. As with the rest of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the main focus of Qigong is eliminating deficiency (associated with chronic illness) and stagnation (indicated by pain) of your qi (energy) through a combination of movement, breathing, and awareness. At first, the dynamic adjustment of posture, breath, and mind is only done during the time you set aside to do Qigong. With more practice, you’ll begin doing these adjustments throughout the day as Qigong becomes a natural part of your life and personal healthcare program.

Information on Allopathic, Natural, Holistic treatment choices for prostate cancer in Naples, FL In our practice we use Natural, Holistic treatments. Prostate cancer is a cancerous tumor in the prostate gland, a small walnut-sized gland in men that makes seminal fluid, which helps carry sperm out of the body. The prostate is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out through the penis. Prostate Cancer Signs and Symptoms The signs and symptoms of prostate cancer may not appear in the early stages of the disease. However, as the cancer grows, it may cause some of the following symptoms: Frequent urination, especially at night. Difficulty starting or stopping urination. Weak urine flow or reduced amount of urine. Blood in the urine or semen. Erectile dysfunction. Pain or discomfort in the testicles or penis. Painful ejaculation. Pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or thighs. It is important to note that these symptoms can be caused by several other conditions and are not necessarily indicative of prostate cancer alone. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for assessment and proper diagnosis. Regular check-ups with your doctor and screening tests can help detect prostate cancer early when it is most treatable. Source: stlukes-stl.com Risk Factors Age.

Source: stlukes-stl.com Diagnosis Screening tests can include a digital rectal exam (DRE) and a blood test to check for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. However, these tests are not always accurate and can give false-positive results, leading to unnecessary biopsies, treatments, and their possible side effects. When these tests suggest that cancer may be present, a biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Imaging tests such as MRI, CT, and bone scans can help determine the extent of the cancer and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. Source: stlukes-stl.com Allopathic Treatment Options Treatment options for prostate cancer vary depending on the stage and aggressiveness of the cancer. Active surveillance, where the cancer is monitored closely but not treated, may be an option for some men with slow-growing tumors. Other treatments include surgery to remove the prostate, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. Surgery: Removal of the prostate gland, which may be done with traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as robotic-assisted surgery. Radiation therapy: Using high-energy beams to kill cancer cells, which may be delivered externally or internally. Hormone therapy: Lowering levels of hormones such as testosterone, which can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells. Chemotherapy: Using drugs to kill cancer cells, typically for advanced cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. Treatment side effects can include: • erectile dysfunction, • urinary incontinence, • bowel problems, • fatigue Source: stlukes-stl.com Prevention Although there is no guaranteed way to prevent prostate cancer, some steps that may lower the risk include: • Maintaining a healthy diet and weight • Exercising regularly • Not smoking • Reducing exposure to toxins such as cadmium Source: stlukes-stl.com Natural, Holistic and Alternative Treatments That Can Be Effective Against Prostate Cancer: Acupuncture: Acupuncture has been used as a complementary therapy to relieve the symptoms of prostate cancer and side effects of treatment. Herbal supplements: There are various herbal supplements we use that are believed to help reduce the growth of prostate cancer cells. Exercise: Regular exercise helps in keeping the body healthy and promotes the immune system of the patient, thereby helping to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Stress reduction through: Meditation: This technique helps in calming the mind and relieving stress, which can improve the overall health and help ease the symptoms of prostate cancer. Mind-body therapies: Mind-body techniques like hypnosis, visualization, and guided imagery can help patients in dealing with pain, anxiety and depression associated with prostate cancer. Rectal Ozone therapy: Ozone therapy has become a popular alternative treatment for various health conditions. Here are some of the reported benefits of ozone therapy: Boosts the immune system: Ozone is believed to stimulate white blood cells and improve overall immune function. Reduces pain and inflammation: Ozone injections may help reduce pain and swelling in acute and chronic injuries. Promotes tissue healing: Ozone promotes blood flow and oxygenation, which can potentially speed up healing and recovery. Treats infections: Ozone gas has antimicrobial properties that can sterilize and kill pathogens, making it useful for treating certain types of infections. Reduces stress: Some proponents suggest that ozone therapy can help reduce stress and increase energy levels. PEMF Therapy PEMFs might be capable of inhibiting cancer growth by disrupting the mitotic spindle during cell division. Through this mechanism, PEMFs impair the orientation of spindle tubulin and induce dielectrophoresis. Hyperthermia Hyperthermia applied as radiosensitizer or chemosensitizer has shown great results in over four decades and is presently successfully applied in combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy for treatment of many tumor types Peptide Therapy Peptide can be utilized directly as a cytotoxic agent through various mechanisms or can act as a carrier of cytotoxic agents and radioisotopes by specifically targeting cancer cells. Peptide-based hormonal therapy has been extensively studied and utilized for the treatment of breast and prostate cancers. Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy Studies have shown that hydrogen gas can induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells. This effect has been observed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancers. Additionally, hydrogen has been found to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in animal models. One possible explanation for the anti-cancer effects of hydrogen is its ability to activate the immune system. Hydrogen has been shown to increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which play a critical role in detecting and killing cancer cells. It may also enhance the function of dendritic cells, which are responsible for initiating an immune response against cancer. Another possible mechanism is the ability of hydrogen to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. These processes play a key role in the development and progression of cancer. By neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation, hydrogen may create a less hospitable environment for cancer cells to thrive. In addition, some studies suggest that hydrogen may protect healthy tissues from damage caused by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This is particularly important as these treatments can often cause serious side effects and damage to healthy tissues. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of hydrogen, the evidence so far suggests that it may be a promising therapeutic option for cancer patients. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy The goal of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the drainage of excess lymph fluid. This is accomplished through gentle techniques that help to move the lymphatic fluid away from the affected area and toward healthy lymph nodes where it can be processed and eliminated from the body. In addition to managing lymphedema, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can also help to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve overall range of motion. It may also help to boost the immune system and promote healing. It is important to note that Lymphatic Drainage Therapy should only be performed by a trained therapist who specializes in cancer treatment related lymphedema management. Patients should also consult with their oncologist or healthcare provider before starting any new therapies or treatments. Overall, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can be a valuable tool in managing cancer treatment related lymphedema and improving quality of life for those affected. BioResonance BioResonance therapy can help increase the patient’s immune system and assist with reducing the patient’s stress levels during the cancer treatment process. The therapy aims to improve the patient’s overall well-being, which in turn may aid in the successful elimination of cancer cells from their body. In conclusion, while BioResonance therapy cannot directly cure cancer, it has proven to be effective in assisting with the prevention and treatment of cancer. The technology works to eliminate harmful substances from the body, promote healing, and aid in the management of side-effects caused by traditional cancer treatment options.
