Angelina Jolie had recently revealed that she had Bell’s palsy and she used acupuncture to overcome the condition. Luckily, Bell’s palsy can be treated and most times, leave no lasting effect.
Acupuncture can drastically improve the symptoms associated with Bell’s palsy including the drooping as well as the pain, difficulty chewing and neuropathy. Jolie credits acupuncture for doing just that. If you have been to your physician and have been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, contact us right away. Our practitioners can get you on your way to feeling better ASAP!
We love when skeptics say “it’s all in your head” regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture. Animals receiving acupuncture are concrete evidence that no, it is not “all in your head”. Animals do not know what is being done to them, why it is being done and what it is supposed to happen. There are awesome stories of zoo animals such as giraffe, bear, tiger, kimono dragon, gorilla, penguin, flamingo and elephants getting acupuncture! Most commonly practiced in veterinary practices is acupuncture for horses, cats and dogs.
In addition to receiving acupuncture during your visit, we use other techniques to enhance your treatment . The use of acupressure can relieve pain on the spot (especially with migraines). Moxibustion (moxa) is a compressed herb in a charcoal stick form. When lit, the stick holds an ember that emits a very deep warming sensation through the body. 
Sometimes when treating patients, we apply an oil called “Po Sum On”. But what exactly is in the oil that makes it work so well? And why is it better than the OTC creams and lotions? Look at these ingredients and the choice is crystal clear!
