breathe: what we treat

Pain Management. Injuries and physical trauma, resulting in back, neck and shoulder pain, muscle spasms and rigidity or flaccidity, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines and headaches, numbness and tingling of limbs, herniated and slipped discs, can be the result of your work or a condition you’ve had for years. We can prevent injury by encouraging muscle flexibility and strength through treatments and exercise and also hasten recovery time.

Vocal Enhancement. Vocal quality is a main concern of many performers. Sore throats, voice loss, damaged or constricted vocal cords, phlegm buildup, minimized lung output, asthma, chronic cough or hoarseness all can be the result of your hard work. We can enrich your vocal quality, improve your lung capacity, and relax your diaphragm and ribs.

Skin Rejuvenation. Let’s face it: In this business, looks are important. Late nights and touring can wear anyone out, causing dark circles under the eyes; red, puffy eyes; and premature wrinkles. Our treatments will refresh tired eyes, eliminate lines, reduce sagging and prevent signs of aging. We can also eliminate acne, alleviate rashes and dramatically improve symptoms of rosacea. Your skin will acquire a youthful, healthy glow.

Addiction & Detoxification. Being highly creative can have its drawbacks. Many artists reach for a drink, a pill, or a cigarette to cope. Let Breathe support you so you can say goodbye to addiction and unhealthy habits, and hello to a happier, healthier you. Chinese medicine reduces cravings and quickens detoxification, making this process easier to handle.

Boosting the Immune System. The goal of Breathe is to keep you from having to cancel any performances. We’ll increase your energy and eliminate your stress and toxins so that your immune system will become stronger. You can fight off infections easily and naturally so you won’t get sick.

Eliminating Digestive Disorders at Their Source. Irregular eating habits can take a toll on your digestion. Chinese medicine can treat many chronic and acute ‘stomach’ complaints, such as indigestion, nausea, slow metabolism, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, Crohn’s disease, bloating, gas, heartburn, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Sleep Deprivation and Jet Lag. How often do you say to yourself, "I never feel like I’ve had enough sleep?" Traveling in different time zones, late nights and early mornings, and working your hardest to entertain your fans can lead to fatigue and exhaustion. Acupuncture can adjust your body’s internal time clock so that you can more easily synchronize your sleep patterns with the local time. You’ll get restful, deep sleep and be more energized than ever. We also take care of insomnia and disturbing dreams.

Mood Enhancement. Chinese medicine treats the physical body, along with the mind and spirit. We can help you with stress, anxiety, anger management, irritability, depression, and stage fright. One way we do this to aid you in releasing old emotional issues and traumas in a safe environment with support. Chinese medicine can eliminate the need for medications such as Prozac, Wellbutrin and Zoloft.

Gynecological disorders. Do you experience bloating, irritability, cramping and exhaustion every month? Has menopause started to set in? Night sweats make most women a bit tired and cranky. We can help with any gynecological complaint, including infertility, heavy bleeding, pregnancy and labor, cysts and fibroids.

Writer’s Block. The pressure of putting out another great album can be intense. By releasing emotional and physical internal blockages, your ideas will be begin to flow from your heart to your instrument more easily. Wouldn’t you just love to keep those No. 1 albums coming?
