Acupuncture Houston

Welcome to Acupuncture Wellness. We are an acupuncture houston clinic. Dr. Yang is a state licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist that has 13 years of experience treating patients using acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, acupressure, cupping, electric stimulation, moxibustion, and more.

Acupuncture treats patients in a natural method and allows them to heal organically through a holistic approach to medicine. Dr. Yang evaluates the entire person (physical body and mind) in order to heal any imbalances between the physical body and mind. Dr. Yang creates and prescribes herbal medicines as opposed to synthetic drugs as we aim to resolve symptoms from the root cause.

Acupuncture is a specialized technique that utilizes filiform needles to stimulate specific points in the body to reduce and eliminate many symptoms such as pain, allergies and to promote overall health. The use of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine is designed to heal the body from within and is helpful in treating patients who experience chronic body pains. The thin needles are placed in acupuncture points on the body to bring back the balance of the body's natural energy flow. The stimulation of the acupuncture points in the body will help increase blood flow and simultaneously release the body's natural painkillers(endorphins). This promotes recovery through your body's natural hormones.

Acupuncture is a harmless and painless process, but patients tend to experience a tingling sensation. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin and not nearly as painful as injectable gauge needles. Some benefits of acupuncture are that there are few to no side effects as opposed to pharmaceutical drugs. Acupuncture allows the body to regenerate on its own and it can alleviate headaches, neck pain, back pain, etc.

So how does Acupuncture work?

Patient getting treatment at Acupuncture houston

Acupuncture treats and heals by stimulating acupuncture points on the surface of the skin and has the ability to adjust physiological and biochemical symptoms in the body. Because acupuncture points are specific areas of electrical sensitivity, our sensory receptors are being stimulated by putting needles at these locations. This stimulates our body’s nerves that sends signals to the hypothalamus-pituitary system in the brain.

The Hypothalamus-pituitary glands secretes neurotransmitters such as serotonin, epinephrine, nor-epinephrine, etc. It also releases endorphins, which is the hormone responsible for pain relief and is thought to be much more effective than many prescription pain killers. Endorphins play an enormous role in balancing hormones, which is why acupuncture is highly effective in treating body pain, pre-menstrual stress, infertility, imbalanced hormones, arthritis, and more.
Acupuncture stimulates the release of these neurotransmitters and regulates serotonin in the body, which leaves patients in a more relaxed and happier state.
Acupuncture effectively helps with increased circulation in the body, inflammation, body aches, spasms, and the immune system, without all the side effects of using a synthetic drug.

Acupuncture is successful in treating many chronic and acute symptoms through natural and holistic methods, which in many times, is more effective than western medicine. Using pharmaceutical drugs usually lead to many side effects, as it acts more of a "band-aid" than fixing the root problem. Oftentimes it will lead to another problematic health issue.

Acupuncture houston offers services for children and adults. We help with rehabilitation, for arthritis, pregnancy/prenatal acupuncture, for chronic pain, mental, fertility, weight loss, and more! Acupuncture is not limited to treating specific illnesses and helps with mind and body recovery.

Due to the method of cleansing, you must drink each portion at the specified hour. We have calculated the time to take each portions to align with the average sleeping hours, which is why it is so important to follow the schedule as directed. You will take 6 portions throughout a 2-day span and Dr. Yang will explain in more depth on what you should be expecting after each portion. You will have to stop taking all medications and other supplements including vitamins. You need to avoid eating meat and dairy products on that day and do not eat anything past 2PM on the day of the cleanse.

Drug Addiction

People who suffer from drug addiction have seen many benefits that acupuncture offers. Acupuncture helps stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killer and reduction in inflammation. This has helped reduce the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that many patient's suffer with. Through the holistic method of acupuncture and herbal medicine, it has helped many people recover from drug addiction

Acupuncture is known to reduce stress, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Due to the nature of reducing many triggers that cause people to use drugs, there have been many studies showing the effectiveness of Acupuncture for drug users.

While Acupuncture may not be a cure to drug addiction, some benefits that you may notice with the use of Acupuncture can be seen in the following:

Reduced cravings
- The initial recovery process can be especially difficult for many drug users due to the intense withdrawals, but consistent use of Acupuncture during the following weeks of drug cessation has shown to improve the patients mood, stress, hormonal balance, withdrawal symptoms, and more
Stress & Anxiety Relief
- One of the biggest triggers to a drug relapse is experiencing stress post-cessation. Due to nature of relaxing nature of Acupuncture, many users have seen short and long term results in avoiding relapse and lowering stress levels. Acupuncture triggers our body's natural pain killer called endorphins and this helps calm the patient mentally and physically. Many have seen great results with the conjunction of Acupuncture therapy and herbal medicine.
Depression
- Many drug users experience depression due to the hormonal and chemical imbalance immediately after drug cessation. This is natural and is the period where the users body is trying to return to homeostasis. Mental health disorders can be difficult, but many patients have seen elevated mood and a sense of peace with the use of Acupuncture.
Pain Relief
- Many drug users will turn to pain killers in order to bridge the time period of drug cessation. However, this causes the patient to become dependent on another drug and can cause serious long term damage. In order to avoid drug addiction, Dr. Yang encourages the patient to stop using all prescription and pharmaceutical medications in order for the body to recover correctly. Acupuncture has shown great benefits for pain relief and triggers the body to release it's natural hormones to provide effective pain relief
Improvement in Sleep
- Ensuring sufficient amount of sleep is vital in the recovery process. However, this may be hard for many drug users due to withdrawal effects and hormonal imbalances. Because the use of Acupuncture triggers many natural hormones to release, it has shown to dramatically help with patients to sleep at night and speeding up the recovery process.

What is a Health Consultation?

Dr. Yang will examine the patient’s previous medical history or evaluate the symptoms extensively to come up with a treatment plan.

The doctor will determine what route to take to treat the discomfort and will use his expertise to create a personalized and comprehensive plan to treat and alleviate the symptoms. The treatment plan will be explained thoroughly to the patient but patients are still encouraged to voice any questions or concerns they may have during this time.

Pain Relief Houston

Acupuncture helps with managing pain through the thin needles that are inserted into the skin at the different acupuncture points. Through this process, the body releases endorphins in response, which are the body's natural pain relieving hormones. When endorphins are released throughout the body, the brain is able the decrease the perception of pain that it is enduring. When endorphins are released, this process also affects the serotonin in the brain which regulates mood, usually creating a positive feeling.

There have been studies researching the validity of acupuncture's benefits, and it has been revealed that stimulating the vagus nerve, which is the nerve that connects the brain to the body, may lower inflammation. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or damage to heal itself. Inflammation has been closely linked to chronic pain and acupuncture is a popular alternative to combat using opioid prescriptions.
