Cupping Therapy — North Dartmouth, MA — Daniel R. Schwartz

Healing the Body

After diagnosing where your energy is imbalanced, very thin needles, about as thick as 5 or 6 hairs, are placed strategically into points along the 14 meridians. Get the acupuncture treatment you need to restore that balance, so your body can heal itself.

While acupuncture treatments help you find relief from pain, it also promotes better blood flow circulation. Often heat is used with the needles by either infrared or moxibustion, using the herb mugwort or Artemesia Vulgaris, which is burned near the skin or on the needle.

Coupled with Your Treatment

Auricular or ear needling is also often used in conjunction with the body points, enhancing or augmenting the acupuncture treatment. It is also used as a stand-alone therapy for drug detox. Microcurrent and elector-stimulation is another treatment that is used to augment the acupuncture treatment. Sometimes, it is used with magnets without any needles for electro-magnetic therapy.

Global Medicine

Like acupuncture treatments, cupping is a method often associated with traditional Chinese medicine, but is used in many cultures, such as Egyptian and Greek, for thousands of years. Simply put, cupping is a method of relieving local congestion and increasing circulation after applying a partial vacuum that is created in little cups by suction. It is even described in the 'Ebers Papyrus,' which was written around 1550 BCE.

Promoting Your Health

In addition to acupuncture treatment, our clinic offers Chinese herbal medicine to help you regain your healthy balance. A major component of Chinese medicine is the use of natural herbs that adjust excess or deficiency states, thus promoting healing and strengthening your body's ability to regain healthy balance.

Knowledge accumulated over thousands of years of study and observation results in a vast resource of herbal combinations that function very specifically within the body. Unlike Western medications, the Chinese herbal remedies are completely natural, so you don't suffer from side effects when prescribed by a properly trained, knowledgeable, and experienced practitioner.
