The Morningside Clinic of Dallas

Hi All,
This one hits a little close to home.

As some of you know my wife is a potter. After an especially busy holiday season she had a painful case of carpal tunnel due to overwork. I treated her wrists both locally (where the needles are applied near the cause of the pain) and distally (further along the channel). She felt 90 % better the next day and by day 2 had no more pain. This was over 2 years ago and the pain has not returned. You can read more about acupuncture treatment for Carpal Tunnel here:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29231607/



I am continually awed by acupuncture as a method of pain relief and quality of life improvement.

Seeing clients Tuesdays and Wednesdays at my Austin location in addition to Thursdays and Fridays in Dallas.

Please tell your friends and you can call or text 214-828-4558 or
512-970-6084 for an appointment or email: [email protected]

Thanks so much for your support over the years- if you’ve had success with acupuncture I’d love to hear about it.

Take care!

[Clinical research on mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome treated with contralateral needling technique at distal acupoints and acupuncture at local acupoints] - PubMed The combined treatment of regular acupuncture technique and the contralateral needling technique at distal acupoints achieves the definite therapeutic effects on mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, apparently superior to the regular needling technique.

Imagine how much money could be saved every year in the medical system if more doctors knew.....

Recently at the clinic a patient came for a 3 week long unrelenting migraine syndrome followng a surgical procedure. Thousands of dollars in testing yielded no findings. The patient presented with headache, light sensitivity, vibrating feeling in eye, dizziness, and some nausea.

After taking the pulse it was a confirmed liver pattern and with 3 sessions and the formula "Sini San", the patient was completely recovered within 5 days of the first treatment. I explained to her that this would be a very simple case and not to worry but given the fact that doctors were stumped she had major doubts.

If doctors knew how effective Chinese Medicine truly is, they could refer patients to us as a first line of defense as opposed to a last ditch attempt.

This type of outcome is common at my clinic and I'm very grateful to be able to deliver the systems that my teachers have taught me to my practice members!

Well I've got two weeks under my belt at the Health Collective and I must say, I'm very happy with the space. After working for 17 years by myself at Morningside, it's really nice to be in with such a great group of practitioners some of whom I have shared patients with over the years.

So far, all of my patients are very happy with the new space. It's nice and quiet with good qi. 🙂

I'll posting some info on some of the other practitioners in the space over the coming weeks. The Health Collective has some excellent practitioners of various modalities with decades of experience. It's a really good place!

Nothing has changed with my phone number or email. You can still reach me there to schedule appointments.

We are currently experiencing peak spring allergy conditions in DFW and I am certain many of you could use some help. Even if you aren't coming to the clinic in person for acupuncture, I am still able to make formulas either to be shipped to you or picked up at the clinic. Chinese herbal formulas are my primary tool for treatment of allergy symptoms and I strongly recommend you begin taking herbs if you are suffering with allergy symptoms, as you want to do everything you can to optimize the immune response of the body during this crucial time period. Please contact me via email or text me at 512-970-6084 if you want help!

Many blessings,
Coleman

Dementia risk tied to these commonly prescribed drugs, study says

This is a shocking study given the sheer number of people on anticholinergics, which includes some antidepressants.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/06/24/health/dementia-risk-drug-study/index.html

cnn.com There was nearly a 50% increased odds of dementia among adults aged 55 and older in the UK who took a strong anticholinergic medication daily for at least three years, according to a new study.

As I move into my 15th year of full time clinical practice, I am more confident than ever of what Chinese Medicine can and cannot do. On a weekly basis, I field health issues in which other modalities, Western medicine included, have failed to produce results. Conservatively, 70% of my new patients have tried several other avenues for their conditions before seeking out acupuncture and Chinese herbal remedies. Often, my practice represents a “last ditch attempt” to get some relief. Even under these circumstances, acupuncture and/or herbal medicine should start working within 3-5 visits, which if scheduled optimally is within one weeks time. This is a startling reality which I am increasingly accustomed to, and the reason I feel this medicine should be utilized as a primary, first line of defense modality rather than a last ditch attempt or “complimentary/alternative” one.

The most recent clinical example being a case of severe acute vertigo lasting for 2 weeks. After one visit the symptoms were mostly resolved, and the entire course of treatments will likely not exceed 3 visits. This is primary care and should be regarded as such.

It’s my sincere hope that Chinese Medicine take its rightful place in the sphere of medicine as opposed to the direction it seems to headed, where it’s seen as just another day spa service or someone’s last hope for relief.
