How Acupuncture Relieves Pain
Acupuncture works by:
- Stimulating the nervous system to release endorphins (natural painkillers)
- Increasing blood flow to injured or inflamed areas
- Reducing muscle tension and calming the body’s stress response
- Rebalancing energy flow (Qi) along specific meridians
This combination promotes natural healing, reduces inflammation, and improves function—without side effects.
Dr. Xiong’s Approach: Tan Balance Method & Korean Hand Therapy
🔹 Tan Balance Method Acupuncture
This highly effective method targets pain using distal point selection based on meridian theory and body mirroring. Instead of needling directly into the area of pain, Dr. Xiong selects points in other areas (like the hands, arms, feet, or scalp) that balance the affected region.
This approach allows:
- Immediate pain relief during treatment
- Avoidance of inflamed or injured tissue
- Better results for complex or chronic pain cases
Tan Method is especially beneficial for conditions where pain has persisted despite other treatments.
🔹 Korean Hand Therapy (KHT)
KHT uses the hand as a microsystem to treat the entire body. By stimulating specific hand points, Dr. Xiong can influence pain pathways and promote healing. KHT is ideal for:
- On-the-go pain management
- Patients who are sensitive to body acupuncture
- Supporting results between office visits with magnets or seeds
Together, these methods offer a versatile and highly personalized approach to pain relief.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your condition, including medical history, range of motion tests, and TCM diagnostics (pulse, tongue, hara palpation). Dr. Xiong then creates a personalized treatment plan using:
- Clean, gentle needling techniques
- Immediate-response testing (you may feel better during the session)
- Adjunct therapies if needed (cupping, moxibustion, hand therapy)
Many patients feel noticeable relief within the first few sessions, with deeper, longer-lasting improvements over time.
