Chinese Medicine and Men’s Health

Chinese medicine is often thought of for issues concerning women’s health and reproduction. Men can also gain great benefit from acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal treatment. Acupuncture is well known for its ability to reduce pain. Many men have pain issues due to physical work whether on the job or at home. Acupuncture can help the body heal faster from injuries and have less pain while doing so. Chinese medicine can do even more.

Maintaining vitality is a concern of every man. This includes the ability to keep in shape, play a sport or just lift a heavy object. Generally, a person’s energy level declines with age. Taking appropriate care of oneself can slow this process. Both acupuncture and Chinese herbs assist the body in keeping and building higher energy levels.

Other concerns unique to men can be addressed as well. Prostate concerns, urinary difficulties and reproductive issues respond to treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Because Chinese medicine addresses the underlying processes of the body, the root of the symptoms, as well as the symptoms themselves there can be a long-term benefit.
