New England Acupuncture & Herb Clinic offers a full range of traditional Chinese medical therapies.
Some of these, often referred to as 'accessory techniques', may be included within an acupuncture visit.
Such techniques include cupping, moxibustion, tui na (chinese therapeutic massage), and others.
Each of these can accentuate and augment the benefits of the acupuncture itself, and are commonly used.
There is generally no additional fee for these procedures, all of which are quite comfortable.

The Chinese word for acupuncture is zhen jiu, and translates as 'needle and fire', or as 'acumoxa therapy'.
Where does the fire come from?
Well, there is a technique that has been employed by acupuncturists over the ages, and it is called 'moxibustion'.
It is a special form of heat therapy.
Below, we will describe this and some of the other techniques which, while lesser known here in the U.S., are quite valuable.

Though Traditional Chinese Medicine is roughly 5000 years old, it has a lot it can offer patients who have cancer.
In this case history, we will look at a patient who benefited greatly from some basic acupuncture, herbs, and moxibustion.
This patient's story is a really great example.
The patient, whom we will call Mr. C, had been in remission for some 2 years but was still getting chemotherapy twice a year.
At that point, the patient was diagnosed with a bladder infection, and shortly after that, he contracted an intestinal infection known as c. diff, which can be life threatening.

A woman in her 40's called the clinic to make an appointment due to a chronic urinary tract infection (UTI).
She had been on antibiotics for months with no significant relief.
The pain was significant, and urination very difficult.
She wanted to try acupuncture in the hopes of getting some relief.
When the patient came to New England Acupuncture and Herb Clinic for the initial visit, she also mentioned she had scant urinations, i.e. the amount of urine she passed was smaller than normal.
Acupuncture points for treatment are given according to specific needs of the patient.
