I have in my practice a very unique and special electro-stimulation machine. I put the electrodes on the needles to enhance the treatment. This is the machine that Dr Fuda from Taiwan made. He treated a 100 cancer patients a day in Taiwan. They would stand in line for hours. He was very successful with it. There were even many survivor clubs that played games together and had book clubs. I feel very fortunate to have one of the few units out there in my practice.

It’s such a small world. I was talking with my mom’s friend and neighbor about her brother who is an acupuncturist in Germany doing auricular acupuncture. In 2006 I took some courses from a German doctor that’s an auricular acupuncture expert and wrote a many books on the subject. The brother studied with the same doctor. What a small world. Dr Strimatter taught me how to use a point finder to find active auricular points. I thought why only do this in the ear. I still use a point finder on all my patients to this day and it’s made me a much more successful acupuncturist.

This is what you can expect to look like right after microneedling. For 24 hours. No washing. No make-up. Only the hyaluronic acid that I give you should be applied. Stay out of the sun. After 24 hours you should have a nice glow. If you do treatments once a month for 5-6 months your fine lines and wrinkles should lessen. You hair should grow thicker in places micro needled. Give the office a call 815-751-6424 if you’re interested. 100.00 a session.

Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt had surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung, his brother J.J. Watt posted on social media.

A proven, low-risk treatment is backed by major studies and patient demand, yet Medicare and insurers still make it hard to use.

A joint study between the United States and South Korea has found that traditional Korean medicine treatments, such as Chuna manual therapy and acupuncture, are more effective than nerve block injections in relieving lower back and leg pain caused by spondylolisthesis.
