Do you know any good allied health specialists in Brisbane?
I may as well kill 5 birds with one stone. I need (/want) a dietician, an acupuncturist, a dermatologist, an allergist, and a remedial or shiatsu masseur. Know any good ones? Brisbane, Australia. (Yes?I am trying to make the most of my health insurance.)
Notes:
- I live in the Indooroopilly area, but I don't mind travelling.
- I don't have any particularly major health problems, I'd just like to take care of a few mild-moderate issues as well as improve/maintain my health in certain areas.
- It'd be wonderful to know why you are making your recommendation, if you are so inclined. (e.g., is the doctor super clever, really nice, or surprisingly affordable?)
Help me fix this tendinitis...with needles?
Can anyone recommend a good acupuncturist in the New York metro area? Stamford, CT environs also possible, but I have no car. I recently received my first acupuncture treatment in San Francisco, felt what might be the first inklings of success, and am hoping to continue in New York after I move back home this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good acupuncturist, particularly someone who could treat tendinitis, in the (preferably) New York or (possibly) Stamford, CT area? A zillion bonus points if they happen to accept BlueCross insurance - I know that's a long shot.
Backstory: I've been battling Achilles tendinitis in my left ankle for about 5 years. I used to run competitive long distance, one of my life's great passions, but overtrained and never received proper rehab. For a while, I simply gave up running, as my last ortho said "I think it'd be better if you never ran again," and my parents discouraged me from having "expensive surgery with a 50% success rate." When I do try to run these days, I have to stop after 2-3 20 minute runs spread out over several days due to recurring sharp pain. It has been a life changing, incredibly painful journey, and I've never found anything that' really fulfilled me the way running did. Hoping acupuncture can help me, as I've read some success stories. Other suggestions welcome, too.
Thank you.
Acupuncture in Edinburgh
Can anyone please recommend a good acupuncturist in the Edinburgh area for my partners migraines/IBS? Preferably one that won't try to sell her lots of expensive herbal remedies on top of the treatment.
I Can't Breathe, Damnit!
Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with Seasonal Allergies and Acupuncture? I am suffering from the worst allergy attack of my life. I don't take things like Claritin or Benadryl, as the side-effects from those things usually give me panic-attacks. No pseudophedrines or nasal sprays either. I have heard that acupuncture is a viable alternative to these "treatments", but would like some input from the hive-mind regarding your experiences. Better yet, if you can suggest a great acupuncturist in Seattle. Thanks!
China Study
Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. I'm looking into studying TCM in Shanghai and wondered if anyone had recommendations or experiences they'd like to share.
I intend on a long stay there, so anything beyond short 'taster' courses is what i'm looking for. Of course, any info on them is most welcome too.
