Thanksgiving @ Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

and ate, ate, and then ate some more

Because that's what I did


I stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

for few days and all I did was eat, eat, eat!

animal_kingdom1.jpg


Sure, I read the news paper and took a dip in the pool,

but mostly I just ate


Yeah I know, everyone is saying... Arn't you supposed to watch

your diet because your a doctor! or you practice Acupuncture

and tell everyone to eat healthy!


You are absolutely right, I should have watched how I ate.

But hey, it's a once in a year event, and could YOU resist

when the concierge is bringing delicious looking food one

after another!


I had a relaxing and a very fulfilling time


Dinner at Citricos in Disney's Grand Floridian

was very nice too

Bell's Palsy treatment with Acupuncture

Bell's Palsy can be effectively be treated with

Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.


All my patients that I has been treated have had 80% to 100%

rate of function back after several weeks of treatment. I recently

recieved a thank you letter from one of my patient who originally

came in due to Bells Palsey which has gotten worse and worse for

duration of four months she waited to get treated. Nontheless,

after 4 treaments, she started get some function back, and after

several weeks she was able to get most of her function back.

It's wonderful to see patients who trust in me and appreciates

what I can offer to them!


Oriental Medicine has long excelled in treatment of such

neurological disorders with both acupuncture and herbs.

There are numerous options available to stimulate the central

and peripheral nervous systems, to help to relieve symptoms

and restore normal functions. Generally speaking, prognosis

is excellent if treatment begins within three months from the

onset of illness, positive within one year, and hopeful if within

three years. TCM treatments using both acupuncture and herbs

should be explored and aggressively implemented as early and as

much as possible to achieve maximum results. Time delay before

treatment only decreases the overall success rate. [1]


KITADE Wellness Center offers treatments that is safe and very

effective option for treatment of these neurological disorders,

and are clearly significantly superior to western medicine.

Please contact us today to increase the changes to free yourself

from this concern.

Sciatica & Acupuncture

Suffering from Sciatic Pain?

Sciatica


Sciatica isn't a disorder in and of itself. Instead, sciatica

is a symptom of another problem involving the nerve, such as a

herniated disk. [1]


In many case, sciatica is associated with pain that radiates from

your lower back / spine to your buttock (and / or) down the back

of your leg. It is common to see pain or discomfort along this nerve

pathway down to calf area.



The pain can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning

sensation or excruciating discomfort. Sometimes it may feel like

a jolt or electric shock. It may be worse when you cough or sneeze,

and prolonged sitting also can aggravate symptoms. Usually only one

lower extremity is affected. [1]


From Oriental Medicine approach, we can subdivide the symptoms

of Sciatica in several different categories:

1. Qi and blood Stagnation (Mild to Severe)
2. Coldness and deficiency of the lower back
3. Qi and blood stagnation with phlegm formation

With Acupuncture and Herbal Formula,

it can effectively be treated to eliminate the pain. Depending of

the underlying problem and area of sciatic pain, Acupuncture points

are selected accordingly to control the pain. Sameway, Herbs will

be formulated to suite indivisual needs to control and treat the

sciatic pain.



We specialize in Pain Management.

Bikram Yoga

One of my patient started a Yoga Studio in

Williamsburg area in Orlando!


The style is called Bikram Yoga, or some people

call it HOT Yoga


I went to visit the Yoga Studio over the weekend

and place was big! The studio can fit about 65 people

and there is a cafe at the entrance.


How Great is that! Go for a Yoga lesson and finish it

off with nice soothing tea


We received a free trial ticket, so I have to go check

it out! I'm not flexible at all, so I am a little worried.

Hopefully I can get some flexibility back


I'll let you know how that all went.

Rheumatoid Arthritis / Acupuncture and Herbs

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic

autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack

the joints, where it causes inflammation (arthritis) and destruction.

It can also damage some organs, such as the lungs and skin. It can

be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial

loss of functioning and mobility. It is diagnosed with blood tests

(especially a test called rheumatoid factor) and X-rays. Diagnosis

and long-term management are typically performed by a rheumatologist,

an expert in the diseases of joints and connective tissues.[1]



Western approach to Rheumatoid Arthritis is using Analgesia (painkillers)

and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as steroids to suppress the

symptoms.



At KITADE Wellness Center , we offer alternative and more

natural methods to fight against Rheumatoid Arthritis. Our body has

ability to heal. We use integrative method of Acupuncture,

Herbs, and other Alternative Modalities
,

to stimulate the function we originally have to heal.



Our doctors are specialists in pain management .


We will gentlely stimulate your body with Acupuncture sessions and

monitor your progress for body's response toward the treatments.

Depending on your body's response to the needles, our doctors will

incorporate Herbal treatment by formulating one of a kind herbal formula

to suite your indivisual needs. This formula will includes antirheumatic,

anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic functional herbs.



Treatment of pain is a sophisticated balance of your body and the

practitioner's ability to heal. Proper treatment of pain requires a

careful evaluation of the type of disharmony, characteristics, and

underlying problems. Our methods will treat the underlying deficiencies,

strengthen the body, and facilitate recovery from chronic pain.

TCM pain management targets both the symptoms and the causes

of pain, and as such, often achieves immediate and long-term success.
