Various Symptoms & Treatment
FROZEN SHOULDER
The symptom is caused by bad blood circulation around the shoulders due to gradual lack of pliability in the ligaments, joints and the muscles around them as one grows older. Please come to our clinic before the pain gets worse. The circulation of the blood will be promoted by the anma and acupuncture treatment. The technique of sports massage will be used to make the muscles flexible to normalize the conditions of your shoulders.
RHEUMATISM
Oriental medicine aims principally at the alleviation of ill symptoms by promoting the holistic blood circulation. Specifically, in the case of rheumatism, we stimulate the therapeutic points around the affected parts. Acupuncture or stellate ganglion block (SGB) can be performed.
SENSITIVE TO THE COLD
Both external causes (e.g.; Being exposed to too much air conditioned air or the lack of exercise) or internal causes (e.g.; Low blood pressure, anemia, hormone disorder, etc…) are conceivable as couses. If you leave it unsolved, it might lead you to the undesirable symptoms such as the uterine congestion or the dysfunction of the ovary. There is a possibility that it might develop into neuralgia, rheumatism or nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys). We recommend anma point therapy along with foot point massage and aroma massage.
MENOPAUSAL DISORDER
The decreasing secretion of female hormones due mainly to the malfunctioning of the ovary is the cause of it. Some of the tangible symptoms are chills in your hand and foot, dizziness and/or stiff shoulders. You might feel mentally depressed, get excited easily or not being able to concentrate on something. Most of the times, those symptoms occur because of the internal hormones - autonomic nerve imbalance. Oriental medicine diagnoses the main cause of this phenomenon as “oketsu” (blood stagnation) We perform anma treatment with therapeutic points and/or oil massage. For the serious cases, acupuncture is recommended.
BAD MENSTRUAL PAIN
Symptoms accompanied by the menstrual pain are a dull pain in the stomach, backache, headache, dizziness, fatigue, irritation and perspiration. Sometimes they appear at the same time. Dysfunction of the ovary, underdevelopment or the abnormal position of the womb and stress can cause the condition. We perform some chiropractic methods including spiral alignment and/or teishin (non-piercing needles) along with anma therapy. This is effective before the start of menstruation.
DULL PAIN IN THE THIGH AND THE CALF
You could be suffering from sciatica. The sciatic nerve ranges from your hipbone to the foot and it’s about one meter long. Therefore, the pain also extends in the wide area of the lower half of the body. For the acute and sharp pain, the acupunctural treatment could be the best. In other cases, anma treatment of some crucial therapeutic points can be performed.
STERILITY
There are various reasons of sterility. Sometimes the reasons are clear. One might have some kind of defects in the ovary functions or adhesion in the oviduct. In those cases, the patient is recommended to get medical treatment based on Western medicine. But there are cases that the causes cannot be identified even through the set of thorough examinations. Oriental medicine targets this latter case. The important thing is to undergo a thorough medical examination to find out which type of sterility you suffer from.
Acupuncture and spinal alignment are the effective methods. Since the director of the clinic has the skill and expertise to treat patients suffering from gynecological diseases, you can get proper counseling on the symptoms you have.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANMA AND ORDINARY MASSAGE
Anma is the treatment that deals with therapeutic points of the body. One of it’s characteristics is to give massage from the patients heart area towards the hands and feet. By doing so, the blood circulation will be accelerated. Non-anma massage goes other-way-round. Massage is done from the tip of your hands and feet toward the heart area. If your symptoms are heavy, then we recommend anma therapy.
PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASE
The definition of psychosomatic disease is that it’s a physical disease caused or affected by the mental problems. Many people today experience stress in today’s fast-paced society with complex human relationships. We recommend the acupunctural treatment and the spinal alignment. For the relaxation a minimum of 60-minute anma massage will help.
LUMBAGO
There are various elements that cause the lumbago, some of them are neuralgia, inflammation in the muscles, bruises, a slipped disk, abnormality in bones. If the lumbago is chronicle, it would be effective to perform the anma treatment on therapeutic points while warming up your lower back area. The method would be different if it was acute or if the symptoms seem to be derived from internal organs. Please visit our clinic to obtain more information.
HERNIA OF THE INTERVERTEBRAL DISK
A slipped disk may develop into a more serious case of hernia of the intervertebral disk. A commonly used method is aligning the bones using a corset, however there’s the risk of a relapse. The patient must continue to receive the same treatment. At our clinic, we perform spinal alignment, acupuncture and anma massage. To prevent it from taking a turn for the worse, constant exercise (e.g.: push-ups and sit-ups) is recommended.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massage works on normal stiff shoulders, lumbago or pain in the joints. Since it’s a little intense, it might be too hard for those with a frail constitution. By relaxing the autonomic nerves and making the muscles more flexible, you can expect increased mobility and ease.
SIDE-EFFECTS
You might feel languished or have a muscular pain after taking quick massage therapy, especially an intensive one. But those side-effects will not occur when you take time and have your body thoroughly massaged. We recommend you to take not less than a 60-minute anma massage from time to time.
BETTER TO TAKE ANMA REGULARLY
Yes, this recommendation is more effective. Longer intervals loosens the flexibility of your body, therefore in the long run it will take more time. We recommend that you undergo treatment once or twice a week, or at least once every other week..
WHEN YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE MASSAGE
Believe or not, there are times when you shouldn't! A patient with infectious diseases or cancer is discouraged to take massage therapy, as well as when one has inflammation, ulcer or a contagious skin disease, a condition just after a surgery. In case of a sprain or fracture, massage helps after the inflammation is gone. Please consult your doctor on a case by case basis.
