Acupuncture and herbal medicine, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been effective treatments for thousands of years. The ancient Chinese were original purveyors of anti-aging medicine. Herbal medicine was pursued by the ancients in hopes of finding the elixir of immortality, a pursuit that has continued into modern day.

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty that is based on sound, scientific principles. Anti-aging specialists believe age associated ailments are not a normal process of aging but, rather a pathology that can be interrupted in the early stages, years before a diagnosis is given. We believe this is is the future of medicine.

We endeavor to provide you, our client, the very best medicine both worlds have to offer. Welcome to our practice!

America’s New Disease

Posted by Lynn Borzillo, DA, ABAAHP on Jun 20, 2013 in acupuncture, lifestyle, obesity | 0 comments

The American Medical Association took a vote on Tuesday and declared that 78 million American adults and 12 million children have a new medical condition requiring treatment. That’s right folks, obesity is now a disease.

In some ways this could be good. For some it may be an eye opener and they will realize that being fat like everyone else isn’t ok, it’s a disease.

However, for those stuck in the medical system, this may mean more lap band surgeries and medications. Very good for the surgeons, the pharmaceutical companies and the manufactures of plus size clothing, but not so good for the consumer.

If you’re reading this and are struggling with you weight, acupuncture can help with food cravings but that’s just to get you started. Check out our Anti-aging Body Make-over and rev up your metabolism, learn to eat for health. Your body will thank you.

Acupuncture Is Safer and More Effective For Back Pain

Posted by Lynn Borzillo, DA, ABAAHP on Jun 8, 2013 in acupuncture, back pain, pain | 0 comments

The next time your doctor recommends steroid injections for back pain, run away fast… to your nearest acupuncturist! Acupuncture is more effective and a whole lot safer.

A new study published in the Journal of Joint and Bone Surgery¹ shows that this procedure places one at more risk for osteoporotic fractures.

Acupuncture has shown to be 2 times more effective for back pain than convention treatments in a number of studies^2,3.

Acupuncture needling induces the body’s innate healing ability by increasing the secretion of norepinephrine, monoamines, and pituitary β-endorphins, serotonin. Furthermore, acupuncture modifies pain perception by increasing spinal cord enkephalin and dynorphin secretion.

Acupuncture is better than conventional treatment for back pain and certainly the safest.
