BELLEVUE, Wash., July 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In keeping with a tradition of natural healing and whole body health, Chiropractic of Bellevue, in Bellevue, Washington, is pleased to announce a partnership with Kang Acupuncture Herbal Medicine Center. The two businesses will work together to share patients interested in promoting healing without the use of commercial pharmaceuticals and unnecessary surgical procedures. The ancient art of acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its ability to treat a wide range of common illnesses and disorders including conditions that are neurological, gynecological, musculoskeletal, respiratory and gastroenterological in nature.
Dr. ErKang Hu first opened Kang Acupuncture Herbal Medicine Center in 1997 in order to offer the ancient healing acupuncture delivers to people throughout Bellevue and the surrounding areas. "Chiropractic of Bellevue is fortunate to have this partnership as it allows our patients to access even more natural healing processes than chiropractic care alone can provide," says Dr. Edward Owens of Chiropractic of Bellevue in Bellevue, Washington.
The WHO offers a long list of conditions and disorders acupuncture benefits including hypertension, menopause, morning sickness, anxiety, fibromyalgia, renal colic, gastritis, dysentery, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, sprains, depression, stroke, facial pain, Bell's palsy, migraines, headaches, hay fever, allergies, asthma, shoulder pain, knee pain, neck pain, dental pain, sciatica, Parkinson disease and multiple sclerosis are all among conditions acupuncture is known to treat. "This list is just a small representation, though, of the conditions treated by the ancient art," says Dr. Owens.
Patients who have never experienced acupuncture treatments for themselves may be concerned that the treatment, involving the use of fine, flexible needles, will hurt. Dr. Hu provides reassurance that there is no pain involved in the treatment and that many patients find the actual treatment relaxing.
"One of the best things about acupuncture," Dr. Hu goes on to say, "Is that there are no side effects from the treatment. It's completely safe."
Acupuncture has been used as a tool for healing for nearly 2500 years. The ancient teachings of Chinese medicine explain that within every person there is a flow of life energy called Qi. In order to be healthy, the human body must have a smooth and balanced Qi. Acupuncture points are located on the meridians where they can stimulate the Qi in order to promote healing. In addition to the long, thin needles used in acupuncture, Dr. Hu may also use electrical stimulation in order to boost treatment effectiveness.
