TMJ

TMJ


TMJ is a common condition seen in many Dentist offices,

especially in young and middle aged people. Most of the time,

it happens on one side. Some cases starts from one side but

gradually involve the other side as well due to lack of function

on other side.


The main symptom are pain in front of the ear and difficulty

opening the mouth. The joint has a clinking sound with pain

opening the mouth and tenderness on palpation.


In Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine , TMJ is considered to

be Bi Syndrome which is often associated with joint disease.

This occurs in case of TMJ because qi and blood in

acupuncture meridian loses the nourishment it needs to

promote healthy function in the area. In western prospective,

it means the blood and circulation is stagnated causing

depletion of nourishment to TMJ.


Acupuncture and Point Injection Therapy using herbs and

analgesic can quickly subside the pain and provide the original

healthy function of TMJ .


Contact us to find out more information about your TMJ or

any other joint problem you are concerned about!


We are Orlando's Pain Specialist !!

Weight Loss / Metabolism

Weight Loss / Metabolism Acupuncture


Everyone wants that desirable slender body and search for the

answer to getting the weight off or keeping it off. For effective

weight loss, your metabolism becomes a key factor in keeping

you in shape.


Metabolism is the process by which the body combine

nutrients with oxygen to produce the energy. Our body requires

the energy in order to maintain normal bodily functions. This

energy is measured in calories, which becomes the fuel source

for our body.


When the sugar depletes, which is the source of our energy, the

process of metabolism begins to use the stored fat as it’s primary

energy source. On the contrary, when the supply of blood sugar

is high, it does the opposite. The process of metabolism stores

the excess energy by converting it into body fat as fuel to be used

later.


At KITADE Wellness Center, Orlando, we customize the weight

loss
program to fit your individual needs. There are many factors

involves in individualistic approach for effective weight loss that

stays off, starting with gender, age, muscle tone, medical history,

exercise patterns, etc.


Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine corrects

overall body health by restoring proper blood flow to the

organs and tissues. Our methods and the delicate acupuncture

needles will stimulate your body to have better circulation

providing proper flow of nutrients to the organs, tissues and

glands to promote great metabolism rate.


What many people do not realize is trying to lose weight on

their own can lead to consequences by negatively altering

their metabolism, thyroid, and hormonal function. When this

occurs weight loss becomes very difficult unless you know

how to reverse process.


Let KITADE Wellness Center, Orlando provide you the

professional support in loosing that stubborn weight !

Mutism

Mutism

Mutism is generally due to a loss of hearing before

the age of 2 – 3 years which hinders learning to speak. Most cases

result from acute infectious diseases such as measles, epidemic

meningitis, encephalitis, typhoid, otitis media, toxic effects of drugs, etc.

Congenital deaf- mutism is also a possible etiology.


Here at KITADE Wellness Center, there are several treatment

options using Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, and other


alternative modalities that suits the specific needs of the

patient.



After regaining hearing the next problem is the speech. In such

cases the child should be made to consolidate the hearing and

to read aloud for at least an hour a day.


Contact us today to get a complementary consultation to find

a solution for your child. Your decision can make a world of

difference in the child’s future!

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal Neuralgia


The chief symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia is

short, excruciating pains in the facial area due to

stimulation given by the trigeminal nerve.

Trigeminal nerve by it's name is made up three

divisions; the ophthalmic, the maxillary, and the

mandibular branches.


The clinical features of this sudden attack is

spasmodic electric like shock lasting few seconds

to minutes in the face. Attacks may occur up to

several times a day, especially when the facial nerves

are being stimulated; for example when washing face,

eating, drinking or talking.


Another characteristic seen in Trigeminal Neuralgia

is that it only affects one side of the face most of the

time and due to it's sudden onset, there are no symptoms

between attacks which make it difficult to control the

severity of the attack.


Study have shown that the incidence is higher in middle

aged women than in other groups.


Condition must be distinguished from other forms of

facial neuralgia caused by disease of the jaw, teeth

or sinuses.


At KITADE Wellness Center in Orlando, we can effectively

treat and take control of Trigeminal Neuralgia as well as

other neurological problems. Please contact us now

Elbow Pain

Elbow Pain


There are two kinds of Elbow Pain frequently seen in

our clinical setting besides that of arthritis.


One of them, which many people have heard of is

Tennis Elbow, an inflammation of the lateral epicondyle

of the humerus. Symptoms associated with this problems

are pain and tenderness around the lateral epicondyle of

humerous and the humeroradial joint intensified when

arm is rotated in extension.


Another kind of elbow pain is Acute Lesion of soft tissues

of the elbow. Local swelling, bleeding, tenderness or

functional impairment are all very common symptoms.

Clinically, attention will be paid to determine if any fracture

or dislocation is present, then treat the condition accordingly

to meet individual needs.


In these cases, acupuncture alone will not be enough

stimulation to manage the pain. We will use Acupuncture

Injection Therapy
to control the pain in shortest time and

herbal analgesics and other herbs to maintain and promote

faster healing process.


Let us guide you to healthier you!

Panasonic Lumix

Panasonic Lumix LEICA


I bought a new camera so I can up date more pictures

and let everyone know what's going on with my life visually!


I got the Panasonic Lumix with 10x optical zoom and I think

it has 10 mega pixel. I'm not good with instructions... so, it's

my best guess. What inspired me to buy this camera was the

LEICA lense! I can not believe with this affordability, they come

equipped with LEICA lense. Any one who knows a little about

camera knows how great LEICA is.


So far, I just love the camera! I hope everyone enjoys the

pictures too

Acupuncture and Herbal therapy, they should not be defined as

alternative, but very first source of medicine to heal you body naturally.

"Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a broad domain of

and their accompanying theories and beliefs, other than those intrinsic

to the dominant health system of a particular society or culture in a

given historical period. CAM includes such resources perceived by their

users as associated with positive health outcomes."[1]


In any medicine positive health outcome is a goal in all treatments and

our methods have clearly showned a positive outcome for thousands

and thousands of years. Many people utilize mainstream medicine

Tiffany Colletction in Winter Park

Tiffany Collection


Over the weekend, I visited The Charles Hosmer

Morse Museum
of American Art houses in Winter Park.

They carry the world's most comprehensive collection

of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) including

Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass

windows, lamps, and the chapel interior.


It's been several months since I've visited Winter Park, so

it was a very enjoyable weekend. Just my luck, they also had

an early Saint Patrick's parade, blocking Park Avenue.
