Acupuncture is very safe and effective in relieving the symptoms of Asthma. It aims to treat the root cause of the asthma rather than just the symptoms.
Testimonial
I have been seeing Dr. Kong off and on for over 10 years. I keep returning not because she is not curing my ailments but because I experience different issues that acupuncture has alleviated and/or cured. For example, I first had major difficulties with asthma and allergy. I remember one instance I was having an asthma attack which went away due to Dr. Kong's treatment. With chronic problems like allergy and asthma repeat visits are often necessary. But Dr. Kong will advise according to the progress made. With other issues related to headache or back pain her treatments continue to provide welcome relief. I have also had bouts of vertigo which only acupuncture seems to cure. I tried pills and other homeopathic treatments but only acupuncture really relieved the problem. I know Dr. Kong has helped so many others with very different health issues from mine. I highly recommend her care to anyone and everyone with any type of health issue.

How does acupuncture work for Asthma?
Acupuncture can alleviate the acute onset of an Asthmatic attack. Acupuncture adjusts parasympathetic nerve system, relaxes contraction of smooth muscle, congestion and edema of the bronchial mucosa. It also reduces the inflammatory secretion, improves and prevents the narrowing of small bronchioles. Ultimately, it eases the work of breathing. It also aids to balance the immune system and prevents recurrence. Individualized treatment plan is applied to different forms of Asthma. Researches have shown that acupuncture strengthens health so that allergic response is minimized. 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.For more information please contact Acupuncture and Chinese Medical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan at 734-276-3432.
