Men's Health
Mental, Physical, & Sexual Performance
Men’s Health and can be a touchy subject, and therefore one we often gloss over. While it’s true that women are often mistreated by the Healthcare Industry - whether through misdiagnosis, ignorance, or flat out barbaric responses to common issues they face, men are also treated unfairly in our system. In fact, it’s almost as though western approaches to health don’t consider the patient much at all. Acupuncture offers a solution by not only embracing an holistic approach, but being truly based on a whole body framework. Acknowledging that the basic buildings blocks of good sleep and normal stress responses can prevent illness; to knowing that a pill may solve your problem right now, but that it won’t be a long term solution until we get to the root cause. Acupuncture is a truly revolutionary approach to Men’s Health and can make dramatic changes when needed.
Men’s Health issues are not taken very seriously, at least not in a way that encourages long term health over quick fixes. Often the only real concern we see given and real attention is Erectile Dysfunction, and then it’s only a pill that can have dramatic side effects and really shouldn’t be taken long term. Let’s look at some of those conditions in depth.
