Icing or no icing? The scientific evidence so far hasn't found any actual healing benefit to icing, but experts believe icing may impair the healing process associated with the inflammatory response. However, icing is a safe and cheap pain management strategy for acute injuries such as sprains and muscle or tendon tears. You will get the most benefit out of it in the first 48h after an injury. For better recovery, see your acupuncturist! The sooner you get proper treatment for an injury, the less likely it is to degenerate and become chronic.

Même si la neige et le vent dominent encore le paysage, le printemps s'approche tout de même, et c'est donc le temps de penser aux traitements de prévention des allergies saisonnières! En effet, une série de 4 à 8 traitements effectués avant l'apparition de vos symptômes réduira ou éliminera vos symptômes allergiques. Bien sûr, l'acupuncture traite aussi les allergies perannuelles (présentes toute l'année); pour ce type d'allergies, un suivi de plus longue durée sera nécessaire. Préparez vous donc à la venue du printemps en communiquant avec votre acupuncteur!

We are well into fall and heading into winter! In Chinese medicine, human health depends on living in accordance with the seasons and the local environment. Fall is the season where nature gets rid of what is no longer needed, like the trees shed their leaves, and gets down to the essential. Over winter nature rests and regroups, the better to expand and grow when spring comes. So, what non-essential belongings, attitudes, thoughts, activities can you shed? What is essential for you? And how can you rest and regroup during this winter season ? Feel free to share thoughts and ask questions! Happy snowy day to all!
