In our
clinic we practice a form of Oriental Medicine called
Tuina which is translated in English as, Pushing
and Pulling". This method is used in combination
with acupuncture in order to treat muscle and bone
related disorders. Tuina is a combination of ancient
massage techniques which date back to as early as
the Shang Dynasty in China (16th - 11th century
B.C.) Tuina is used to enhance blood flow to the
affected
area of muscle and/or bone. Common disorders treated
with Tuina are spinal and joint injuries including
arthritis. |
The
effects of acupuncuture and Tuina combined doubles
the effectiveness
of treatment. There are several Tuina techniques
that can also be practiced
on one's own. After the treatment is concluded,
the patient is usually
taught how to perform a technique or two on their
own.
