Icing injuries may delay healing .... Chinese Medicine believes in warmth so this study supports our theory

In Chinese Medicine, we treat most pain with warmth over icing.  Icing causes qi and blood stagnation which are the most frequent causes of pain.  So, if you're in pain, why exacerbate it?  This study demonstrates that icing actually delays healing by preventing the body from making a key repair hormone .... and when you're hurting you need your body to be able to repair itself.

Got good health?  If not, call me, 303-947-6224 or email DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.
Or, even if you do have good health why not maintain it? That's what Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about - maintenance and anti-aging.

Insurance billing: your acupuncture or other Chinese Medicine treatments may be covered.  As a service to you, we find out whether or not your health insurance covers acupuncture and our other therapies and when it does we bill your insurance.  There are plans that cover it, some pay for unlimited visits or enough visits for you to come every other week and be the healthiest employee in your company! Why not be healthier?  That's what the insurance company realizes - preventing surgeries, the use of expensive pain killers, and your having to have medical procedures saves them (and you!) money.  And even preventing the common cold saves your employer money.
