Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a complete medical system that can be used to treat various conditions ranging from pain, anxiety, depression, infertility, allergies, insomnia to the flu. Acupuncture has been practiced thousands of years with clinically proven results that are recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). In modern times, acupuncture is often used as an adjunctive modality in supporting modern medicine or to relief the side effects of modern medicine; such as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients. Acupuncture is also great for rehabilitation support in post stroke patients, increasing athletic performances, treating sexual dysfunctions, and simply maintaining a well being of the body. Acupuncture can be a relaxing and restful healing experience for you. Call or book online for your appointment!
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is the use of natural substances formulated together to provide therapeutic effects in treating various conditions. Herbal medicine can be used both externally and internally for therapeutic effects. The herbs used are mostly plant based, some are minerals, while others can be derived from animal products. Herbal medicine can be taken in decoction, granule, tea pill, tincture, or even in capsule forms. At Petson Chan Acupuncture, we only work with trusted sources where the herbs are tested by third party vendors to ensure the herbs are free of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals. Rest assured that only quality medicinal herbs are used. Even though it is rare that we prescribe herbs derived from animal products, please let us know if you do not want them in your formula. We can prescribe alternatives.


Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This is also known as "micro trauma". This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin texture. For facial treatments, microneedling can improve fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin appearance. This procedure does require at least 2-3 treatments and about 8-12 weeks for the results to be more permanent. When used for hair growth, it helps to increase blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging hair follicles to become more active and potentially leading to thicker healthier hair. Results vary depending on the length of time of the hair loss. This procedure usually requires 2-3 treatments to see results. In the state of NY, ONLY licensed dermatologists and acupuncturists are LEGALLY allowed to perform microneedling; otherwise, you may not be getting an authentic microneedling treatment.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial Rejuvenation is all about beauty from the inside out. Facial acupuncture can help you look younger, more vibrant, and promote better health too. Acupuncture needles are not only placed on the face, but on the body as well. The body needles harmonize the internal organ functions while the facial needles brighten, tighten, and rejuvenate the face. Facial rejuvenation can minimize fine lines, clear up facial complexions, tighten facial muscles, bring a more youthful appearance to the face, and build collagen. Facial rejuvenation performed by a certified facial rejuvenation acupuncturist is truly beauty from within, without harmful chemicals!


Gua-sha (Myofascial Release)
Guasha sometimes referred to as “scraping” or “coining” is a technique where a smooth rounded tool is applied on the body with massage oil or treatment liniment in a repetitive massaging motion to increase blood circulation. It can feel like a deep tissue massage. Guasha is great for promoting blood circulation and breaking up adhesions to treat pain. After the treatment, red marks are left behind on the skin that looks very “raw”, but should not be painful. The redness goes away in a few days. Since guasha can leave temporary red marks on the body, please advise your practitioner if this is not okay for you. Your practitioner will devise an alternative effective treatment for you.
Cupping
Cupping is done by applying gentle suction with glass cups or plastic cups to a certain area of the body to promote healing and blood circulation. It is great for relaxing tight muscles and breaking up adhesions. Cupping can be done with massage oils or treatment liniments with a “sliding cup” technique, where the cups are slid across the body’s surface gently in a massage fashion. Red to dark red marks are left behind on the body after cupping which usually resolves in a few days. Cupping became more well known recently because celebrities and athletes used cupping to enhance personal well-being and improve physical performance. Since cupping can leave temporary red marks on the body, please advise your practitioner if this is not okay for you. Your practitioner will devise an alternative effective treatment for you.


Moxibustion
Moxibustion also known as “moxa” is the practice of burning an herb called mugwort over acupuncture points for therapeutic purposes. Mugwort or “Ai Ye” is a Chinese medicinal herb used in formulas for the purpose of treating pain and bleeding disorders. It can be found in many gynecological herbal formulas. But when it is used externally, it can be used for supporting fertility, treating joint pain, back pain, abdominal pain, and stopping heavy menstrual bleeding. Mugwort can have a strong smell when burnt during treatment, but most patients find the smell soothing and similar to a strong incense. If you experience various GYN health issues, moxibustion maybe a form of treatment that can help you. Ask your practitioner today!
