ORIENTAL MEDICAL CENTER: SERVICES

Dedicated to holistic health care, OMC offers the following services:


During the interview and based on the diagnosis, the doctor will discuss your physical condition and any concerns you may have about the acupuncture treatment. The treatment will start after the interview has been completed.

All needles used in our clinic are disposable. This means that only sterile needles are used on a patient, and each needle is only used once. Afterwards, the needles are discarded.

Acupuncture needles are very fine and are considered to be relatively painless when inserted by a skilled practitioner. However, with correct stimulation, the movement of energy for a patient may cause a sensation that has been variously described as heaviness, distention, tingling, or electric. People often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and relaxing.

Acupuncture can be very effective with just one treatment, but in many chronic disorders that involve a patient's constitution, several consecutive appointments may be necessary. How many and how often can be worked out between you and your doctor.

Acupuncture: This uses very fine and flexible needles to work on acupuncture points where the needle communicates with energy pathways of physiological systems and internal organs. The patient will feel heaviness, distention, tingling, and a soreness sensation with correct stimulation. This sensation may only be at the location of the needle or may travel along the energy pathway. Patients usually feel quite pleasant and relaxed. Most patients will fall into a pleasant, deep sleep during acupuncture treatment.

Electric Acupuncture: This is the use of very small electrical impulses through the acupuncture needles. The amount of power used is only a few microamperes, but the frequency of the currents can vary from 5 to 2000 HZ depending on the patient's physical condition. Most patients find the procedure painless.

Moxibustion: Moxibustion is the treatment of diseases by applying heat to acupuncture points. The material used is mainly moxa-wool in the form of a cone or stick. It can produce mild heat, which is able to penetrate deeply into the muscles. Patients usually feel a nice, relaxing, energy flowing sensation during treatment.

Cupping: Cupping is a therapy in which a metal wood or glass jar is attached to the skin surface to stimulate your body's healing process.

Heat TDP Lamp:

A TDP lamp is similar to a heat lamp, however it features a round plate coated with minerals consisting of 33 elements essential to the human body. When the mineral plate is heated, it emits a special band of electromagnetic waves that coincide with the wavelengths and intensity of the electromagnetic waves released and consequently absorbed by the human body. This absorbed electromagnetic energy has been found to yield therapeutic effects on the human body by:

Helping to generate various beneficial biochemical stimuli that the body may lack due to illness or injury.
Accelerating the decomposition of injured structures, such as bad cells.
Enhancing the body's function of adjustment and immunity. With its relaxing, warm temperature, the TDP lamp is very effective for temporary relief of minor muscular and joint pain and improvement of local, superficial blood circulation.

Tui Na: A type of oriental massage along the channels or acupuncture points without needles. It is performed with the hands, fingers and an instrument with a hard ball shaped head.

There are many other acupuncture techniques than what we listed above. Each will be performed as needed to treat the individual patient's condition.
