Happy #YouTubeWednesday! Today, we have patient Trudy who is receiving #abdominalacupuncture for her chronic #thoraciclumbarbackpain, #neckpain, and #fibromyalgia. Abdominal #acupuncture is a system of acupuncture developed by Dr. Bo that uses the #abdominalregion as a miniature map of the entire body. Corresponding areas around the umbilicus relate to specific #tissues and #organs. To start the treatment, needles are inserted along the midline to activate her #parasympatheticnervoussystem. Afterwards, needles are inserted across the transverse plane to help with her #digestivesystem in order to manage her fluids and to reduce #weatherrelatedpain. Points on the 4 quadrants relate to the 4 Gates in acupuncture that helps with overall circulation and to reduce pain. Local points are inserted immediately lateral to the midline to help reduce pain in the #neck and to support her #kidneys to increase her vitality and to reduce the pain and spasms in her back. Finally, a #liver point is selected in order to facilitate the overall detoxification process of her #blood. In summary, the treatment helps to increase #circulation, #reducepain, and to enhance her vitality. #teamthompson #teamthsm
