Acupuncture & Pain |
If you are involved in some form of sports, martial arts, an exercise program, or even from simply getting out of bed in the morning, accidents may occur. The incidents resulting in aches and pains are inevitable. So, what do you do? Common remedies to decrease pain include popping aspirin or Tylenol, or numbing the pain with ice. While these may help decrease the amount of pain, many people feel they simply must live with pain until it eventually goes away - or doesn't. Far too many people have accepted the idea that it is permissible to live with acute or chronic pain. There are alternatives.
 Chinese Medicine can help you decrease, eliminate, and prevent aches and pains, and help return you to optimal health in a variety of ways. First would be the use of acupuncture. The 1997 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference on Acupuncture stated that acupuncture has been proven effective in treating pain. Second would be the use of Chinese herbs, which are available in various forms. While many of these traditional Chinese medicinal formulas may be available over the counter at Asian markets, it is always best to consult with a Licensed Acupuncturist skilled in Chinese Herbs before self-medicating. Any ailment may be due to a variety of reasons, and a skilled practitioner will be able to prescribe a treatment plan that is the most beneficial and safe. In addition to decreasing pain once an injury has occurred, the use of acupuncture and herbs may be used to prevent injuries by strengthening the bones, muscles and tendons.
There are alternatives to living with pain. Chinese Medicine may help you increase your quality of life by allowing you to live pain free. |

| Special Olympics | |
For people with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics is often the only place where they have an opportunity to participate in their communities and develop belief in themselves. Special Olympic Sports provide a gateway to empowerment,
competence, acceptance and joy. As Special Olympics athlete Thomas Gatu said,"A rewarding life is filled with challenge, so do not pity me. Give me a chance!"
 This year, The Center: Natural Health Specialists is joining Over the Edge to raise a minimum of $1,000.00 for Special Olympic athletes in North Carolina.
If successful, I will rappel down one of Raleigh's tallest skyscrapers on October 2, 2010. Additional information may be found at Over the Edge NC.
Donations may be made at First Giving. All funds raised by The Center will go to Special Olympics North Carolina.
Thank you for your support.

| Dance Your Way to Health |
Tangos, waltzes, sambas, and foxtrots are gliding across America's TV sets on the hit ballroom dance show, Dancing with the Stars. Do you tap along with the beat as you watch? Or shimmy during the commercial breaks? This may be one time when health experts won't fret if you follow in the footsteps of prime-time TV. Ballroom dancing could help the mind and body, they say.
 Mayo Clinic researchers reported that social dancing helps to:
· Reduce stress
· Increase energy
· Improve strength
· Increase muscle tone and coordination
And, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) says that dancing can:
· Lower your risk of coronary heart disease
· Decrease blood pressure
· Help you manage your weight
· Strengthen the bones of your legs and hips
Dancing is a unique form of exercise because it provides the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise while also allowing you to engage in a social activity. This is especially stimulating to the mind, and one 21-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine even found dancing can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia in the elderly.
So, dust off your dancing shoes and have some fun - it's good for you!
