Pain Management Acupuncture (IMEAST) and ICBC
From back pain, TMJ pain, rotator cuff tears, to a sprained ankle, your pain can be managed with us by our IMEAST protocol. IMEAST stands for "Intra Muscular Electro Acupuncture Stimulation Treatment," a method mainly used for musculoskeletal pain relief. Developed over four years by a practitioner who treated over 7,000 patients, this technique merges traditional Chinese medicine with modern practices adapted for the Canadian healthcare system.
IMEAST involves the precise insertion of acupuncture needles into the affected intramuscular area. Once the needle reaches the target area, a carefully calibrated electrical current is applied. This induces controlled muscle stimulation, often experienced as a slight twitch or tremor, which helps address the root cause of the dysfunction. By directly stimulating the muscles, IMEAST helps release tight bands of tissue, promote healthy blood flow, enhance lymphatic circulation to remove toxins and reduce swelling, and restore normal nerve and muscle function for improved overall mobility and recovery.
Internal Medicine Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Oriental medicine (TOM) that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints, to balance the body's energy flow (qi or chi) and promote healing. The benefits of acupuncture range from pain relief, stress reduction, improvement in sleep quality, and overall wellness. Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. Common side effects are minimal and include minor bruising or soreness at needle insertion sites.
Herbal medicine in TOM is often prescribed as part of a complex formula tailored to the patient's specific conditions and constitution. The ingredients are composed of all-natural sources and present comparatively lower risk of side effects compared to conventional pharmaceuticals.
