  • What treatment is best for migraines?

    Treating He Gu (Large Intestine 4) is a very empiracle acupuncture point to help treat headaches/migraines. Often acupressure can help as well with a 5 minute stimulation to the acupuncture point located between the webbing of the index finger & the thumb. Some conditions respond better with a combination of herbal supplements and acupuncture. The best solution is to seek your primary care physician & ask if alternative medicine will benefit your situation. Live Happy, - Happy Cloud Acupuncture Michael A. Chow, M.A.O.M., L.Ac.

  • How can you help with my ankle arthritis?

    Acupuncture & gua sha (massage with a tool) can help ease the pain & quality of life but it will not reverse the progress of the arthritis. It can help slow it but not stop or reverse. Check with your primary care physician to see if your condition would qualify for alternative medicine. Live Happy, - Happy Cloud Acupuncture Michael A. Chow, M.A.O.M., L.Ac. (951) 317 - 1350 HappyCloudAcu@gmail.com READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with hand muscle spasms?

    Yes! Acupuncture is more effective at calming the muscles in the same exact way massage helps muscles: by aiding in the release of alpha-adenosine to help vasodilate and ease the muscles. Check with your primary care physician to see if alternative medicine is a good option for your condition. - Live Happy, Michael READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture fix muscle knots?

    Yes! Acupuncture has the similar effect of massage to help release alpha-adenosine which help relax the muscles, but can do it at a deeper & microcellular level with the fine, painless acupuncture needles. Check with your primary to see if alternative medicine is a good option for you - Live Happy, Michael READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture fix hand pain?

  • Can I exercise after acupuncture treatment?

    Yes, of course you can! Of course it will depend on the severity of your condition and the intensity of the workout.

  • Can I drink alcohol after acupuncture treatment?

    Of course you can! Alcohol is very blood invigorating in TCM, not a bad idea to get your blood flowing after stimulating your qi. However, I would not suggest if you have issues with alcohol, your medication contradicts using alcohol and/or your condition is not healthy enough for alcohol. Check with your primary physician to see if alternative medicine and/or alcohol is comfortable for your condition. READ MORE

    It depends on the allergy. Some allergies develop in different stages of our lives or in response to the environment.
