Your Different Treatment Options

Acupuncture Services in Kent, CT

Qi is a key component to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is the harmonious balance of yin and yang. For some, whose energy flow is interrupted, illnesses may arise and cause pain or discomfort. Qi flows throughout your body, across hundreds of acupuncture points, and can be brought back to its proper balance by inserting sterile needles into these specific points.*

Secondary Acupuncture Therapies

Cupping

Cupping is a technique where small glass or bamboo jars are used as suction devices to break up stagnation and promote blood flow. Kent patients can find relief from pain or soreness through this form of alternative medicine. Our office offers this therapy in either dry or wet, and can be very successful when treating patients.*

Diathermy

Diathermy is a technique that uses high-frequency electric currents that stimulate circulation using heat. This form of therapy can help Kent patients relieve pain, destroy unhealthy tissue, and create circulation throughout the body. Diathermy can help promote faster healing by creating more flexible connective tissues, it is commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation.*

Moxibustion

Another form of traditional Chinese medicine is Moxibustion, which is the technique of burning a mugwort over different parts of the body in order to strengthen blood, stimulate Qi, and maintain general health. A mugwort is a small spongy herb that can help our Kent patients heal.*

We treat our Kent patients with a comprehensive approach, looking at the root of your pain and your body as a whole. Tu Nai refers to a variety of Traditional Chinese Medicine bodywork and therapeutic massage techniques. Our specialists focus on any disharmony within the body, and disturbances with your yin and yang, otherwise known as Qi.
