My name is Jann Polson and I am the acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner here at the clinic. Western medicine is fabulous at saving lives, and often times surgery is indicated, however, most often surgery is not “the only real cure”. In fact rarely is surgery the “cure” at all. Holistic medicine is famous for recognizing the innate ability of the body to heal itself, given the right circumstance. Chinese medicine is famous for uncovering the cause of disease and then manipulating the bodies vital energy in such a way as to elicit the bodies own healing response. I personally have treated inguinal hernia with great success, whereby, surgery was avoided. Unfortunately as westerners we have been conditioned to believe that cutting on and/or dumping chemicals into the body is the only and best way to address disease or injury. Fortunately western science is catching up to the Chinese and is now admitting that there definitely is something to learn from Chinese medicine. I practice a form of acupuncture that is simultaneously very gentle yet powerful and within minutes brings the body back into homeostasis, or dynamic balance. Instantly the pain is gone and the body begins to heal. The longer the disease takes root, or in your case, the longer the inguinal hernia becomes a persistent pattern in the body, the more treatments it may take to reverse the injury. Acting quickly is the key to the quickest recovery and saves you time and money. Surprisingly the only side effect will be that every area of your health will improve.
