About East Lake Acupuncture

Whether you are feeling burnt out, are recovering from illness or injury, have post coronavirus, or post COVID-19 vaccination fatigue, we may be able to help you feel like yourself again.

Acupuncture relieves cancer chemotherapy fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and general low energy. Crippling and long-lasting fatigue is one the most common side-effects of chemotherapy. Numerous trials have shown that acupuncture appears to work for a variety of conditions, including fatigue.  

Studies have shown that regular acupuncture treatments are effective in reducing the severity of fatigue and stress experienced by CFS patients. Researchers attribute the improvements to elevated levels of endorphins, which in turn help increase white blood cell counts, leading to improved immunity.

Vitamin B12 plays a key role in how your body creates energy. It keeps your cells fed, happy, and healthy. Without it, your cells get hungry and you feel weak, tired, and like you’re dragging all the time. Vitamin B12 Injections are available here.

Symptoms of low B12 include but are not limited to:  Forgetfulness, weakness and fatigue (feeling run down) irritability, numbness/tingling/pins & needles in the extremities, dizziness, breathlessness, and more. Vitamin B12 is a not a cure-all and will only provide an "energy boost" if your fatigue is the result of low Vitamin B12. Lab work to check B12 levels is recommended.

There are many possible causes for feeling fatigued, ranging from dehydration to medication side effects. A TCM evaluation is designed to help identify the root cause of a condition. For some, this is a simple process with a simple solution. However, the average person has a number of health concerns occurring simultaneously. Western medicine frequently views each symptom as it's own condition, each requiring its own medication. In TCM, we look for patterns that connect symptoms together, in an effort to identify a common, underlying cause. From there, we move forward to treat the symptoms while simultaneously addressing the root cause to restore health and balance. Treatment typically consists of a combination of herbs, supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes, and acupuncture. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs.
