Dr. Kong has developed successful acupuncture treatment protocols in treating C.O.P.D.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pair of two commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airway become narrowed. It is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe, cough with mucus, wheezing, chest tightness, and other symptoms.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK FOR C.O.P.D.?

Acupuncture improves the efficiency of the blood in exchanging oxygen; decreases mucous production in lungs; improve efficiency of tissues using oxygen, and decrease congestion and inflammation that causes C.O.P.D.

COURSE OF TREATMENT

There are 10-15 acupuncture sessions in one course of treatment. Treatment frequency depends on individual condition. Chinese herbs work synergistically with acupuncture.
