Treat carpal tunnel syndrome with Care Cure Acupuncture

Thu, Mar 23, 2017

Traditional Chinese Medicine is very effective in treating the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is an injury associated with the peripheral nerve tissues and their responses. CTS is a nerve entrapment which manifests itself as pain, numbness, or weakness in the forearm, wrist, or hand. People with this condition can experience difficulty in discerning hot from cold sensations while others experience it as a deterioration of local tendons, muscles, ligaments, and sinew. It can be brought on from an injury to the nerves or as a side effect of pregnancy.

Recent studies show that acupuncture when combined with moxibustion is effective in treating the peripheral nerve tissue and improving thumb-to-wrist sensory conduction velocity.

How safe are dermal fillers?

Thu, Mar 16, 2017

Thanks to the rise of Instagram culture, where not a day goes by without multiple sightings of a beautifully contoured celebrity or fresh-faced influencer on our screens, we have never been under greater pressure to look our very best. It comes as no surprise, then, that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people looking for an effective anti-ageing treatment that will help restore a youthful appearance to our faces and get rid of those wrinkles that are starting to form.

According to data published by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), last year saw us shunning invasive cosmetic surgery in favour of non-surgical anti-wrinkle injectables and dermal fillers. It could be argued that the decline in cosmetic surgery stems from a greater awareness of the risks involved in surgical procedures, but as with any procedure, there are certain things you need to be aware of and to consider before you opt for dermal fillers.
