When we talk about the   "Kidney" in Chinese Medicine, it is not a unique organ.   Actually, Kidney is more like a package with multiple functions. Chinese   kidney is like the engine of the body. It is related to the water and   bone metabolism and stores the essence Qi inside. It controls   the reproductive system and opens to the ears. The adrenal   glands, kidneys, uterus, and sexal glands, as well as some parts of the endocrine   and immune system are included in Chinese Kidneys. So when we say   "Kidney Deficiency", we mean one or more function mentioned above   was not good enough, which does not mean you had "Kidney   Failure".

  I had graduated from the College of Traditional  Chinese Medicine in China in 1980's. My major in the school was ACUPUNCTURE, which required special courses such as Meridians, Acu-points, Acupuncture Techniques, Acupuncture Therapy, Acupuncture Classics, etc. Acupuncturists with this kind of background might only be enumerated in the United States. And also, I had MD degree in China, specializing in endocrinology. When I  practice traditional Chinese medicine in the United States. My knowledge and experience about conventional medicine will definitely help my patients better.

I had researched  in the neurological department  in China for three years. As my experience, acupuncture is an effective treatment for the restorations. Treat earlier with acupuncture, the effective will be better. Normally, the first two months after the stroke occurrence are the best time window for the restorations. After two years, it looks like nothing can be done for the neurological system, but acupuncture still might be used to keep the functions of muscles and joints. 

In a study of 160 women published in the reproductive journal "Fertility and Sterility", German researchers found that adding acupuncture to traditional in-vitro fertility treatment protocols have increased pregnancy success substantially. Women in both groups got pregnant, but for the acupuncture group, the rate of pregnancy was higher — 34 pregnancies compared to the 21 in an equal number of women who did not receive acupuncture. It does matter in two things: if you want plants to grow, you must have good soil and fertilizers. You have to prepare yourself in the same way for reproduction. That includes the uterus and hormones, and the hormones are like fertilizer. For above, acupuncture is helpful. 

 For any cancer diagnosed patients, I do suggest the patients to take more aggressive treatments. In the meantime, they may take acupuncture as the alternative treatment. Acupuncture will help the cancer patients in three aspects: First, it will help the patients to get rid of anxieties;  Secondly, it will help to improve the immune system, which in Chinese medicine helps to improve the "Qi"; Thirdly, acupuncture can treat some symptoms like cough, constipation, pain, low blood cells, etc.

Unfortunately I don't take insurance. My philosophy is put all my resources for my patients' treatments and try my best to get good results. But if you were sure that you could have the reimbursements back from the insurance company, I can prepare the insurance forms for you. The fee for acupuncture is $140 sessional. No cards accepted.
