brain and spine with acupuncture and chiropractic

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that works on the belief in Qi or energy flow through meridians in the body. When Qi is imbalanced, it can lead to pain or illness. 

Acupuncturists use thin needles to stimulate specific acupoints, promoting balance. The process is safe, gentle, and induces relaxation. During the initial consultation, acupuncturists consider the whole person to restore overall balance. Treatments are personalized, and various Traditional Oriental Medicine modalities may be used. These include cupping, moxabustion, electroacupuncture, auricular therapy, acupressure, and herbal formulas.

Needling has been reported in studies to reduce inflammatory substances when applied to painful areas. It induces changes in the nerves near the affected region, leading to a reduction in pain. There is also extensive research suggesting that acupuncture promotes nerve regeneration. Interestingly, even when acupuncture is not directly applied to the painful area, improvements in overall symptoms are observed. This phenomenon is attributed to acupuncture stimulation affecting the sensory areas of the brain, triggering the release of various neurochemicals such as endorphins. Simultaneously, it activates larger nerve bundles, naturally blocking the transmission of pain signals through smaller nerve pathways.

Dallas Kyung Hee Korean Medicine Clinic & Chiropractic focuses on addressing the root causes of joint and spinal pain and inflammation, rather than providing temporary pain relief.

Our tailored treatments prioritize pain relief through fundamental cause treatment.

We specialize in musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations for precise diagnostics, followed by personalized acupuncture treatments, chiropractic adjustments.

Recognizing the impact of spinal alignment and movement on the brain, the vestibular-cerebellar system within the brain maintains tension in the deep muscles of the spine. Issues in the spine stemming from a decline in vestibular-cerebellar function require appropriate rehabilitation and neurological stimulation to restore brain function, ultimately resolving spinal pain.

A chiropractic neurologist is a specialized chiropractor who focuses on assessing and treating neurological conditions without using drugs or surgery. We work with issues like pinched nerves, movement disorders, dystonia, stroke rehabilitation, vertigo, and chronic pain. Chiropractic neurologists use natural, non-invasive methods such as chiropractic adjustments and exercises to address neurological issues. This approach provides an alternative for individuals who prefer holistic and drug-free treatments for their health concerns.

Applied Kinesiology is a method that involves manual muscle testing to assess the functioning of various body systems, including neuromuscular function, and its connections to structural, chemical, and mental aspects of physiology. In Applied Kinesiology, practitioners use muscle testing as a diagnostic tool to identify imbalances in the body. The premise is that the muscles are linked to various organs and systems, and weakness or strength in specific muscles can indicate underlying issues.

We AK practitioners identify weak muscles and aim to determine the underlying causes, applying various therapies such as joint manipulation, myofascial techniques, cranial methods, meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management, and reflex procedures to address imbalances and promote overall well-being.
