Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body for the purpose of relieving pain, alleviating maladies of the body, relieving stress and headaches and healing muscle and bone ailments.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture points lie along meridians in the body along which “Qi” (pronounced chi), vital energy, flows. The free flow of “Qi” is essential to the health and well being of any body and acupuncture plays a pivotal role in balancing that flow. Acupuncture treatment regulates the flow of “Qi” and Blood, tonifying where there is deficiency, draining where there is excess, and promoting free flow where there is stagnation.
Dr. Aram Nalbandyan is expert at reading the pulse of the body, identifying the blockage, and identifying the points where needles will be inserted. He possesses the perfect combination of extensive training, knowledge and experience with sensitivity towards his patients and a real desire to help and to heal. With his gentle skills you hardly feel the needles but the benefits are profound and revealing.
Tui Na
Tui Na is a hands on treatment using acupressure points on the body for the purpose of bringing the body into balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub the areas between each joint to open the body’s “Qi” and get the energy moving in both the meridians and the muscles. The practitioner may then use range of motion and/or massage with the stimulation of acupressure points to treat both acute and chronic muscular and skeletal conditions as well as non-muscular and skeletal issues. Tui Na is used for the treatment and management of injury and pain and is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Dr. Aram Nalbandyan is extensively trained in Tui Na and has great success with his patients in managing and often times completely clearing his patient’s conditions. In addition, he has developed a formula called X-Jow that he uses externally in conjunction with Tui Na treatments. This formula is made with the highest quality of Chinese herbs and is used for pain, arthritis, trauma as well as a variety of other conditions. This incredible formula, coupled with Dr. Nalbandyan’s highly trained ability in Tui Na brings maximum and well needed relief to his patients.
Massage Therapy
Massage is the practice of soft tissue manipulation for the purpose of minimizing or removing pain or stiffness. Massage involves acting on and manipulating the client’s body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Massage targets would include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints and other connective tissue. Massage can be used on lymphatic vessels and organs of the gastrointestinal system as well. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearms, and feet.
Massage has proven to have many benefits from pain relief to relieving anxiety, reducing blood pressure, stimulating the immune system, relieving headaches, increasing blood flow, and enhancing performance and alertness. Massage has quickly become an integral part of people’s lives in creating harmony and balance in a stressful world, relieving anxiety and promoting health and well being.
Dr. Aram Nalbandyan has included a master masseur in his practice to provide this service to all his patients.
Oriental Herbs
Another important and integral component in Dr. Nalbandyan’s practice are the Chinese herbs that he offers in conjunction with the services and treatments he provides. These herbs are of the highest quality and are tailored to each individual patient. Dr. Nalbandyan designs a remedy that targets the illness or condition of each individual from the extensive variety and stock he retains in his office. This requires great experience and knowledge. The remedy consists of multiple packets of individual herbs that are brewed together into a tea at home by the patient. Also used are herbs in pellet or capsule form.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the balance and interaction of all the ingredients are considered very important, almost more so than the effect of each individual ingredient. The combination of ingredients is the key to maximum benefit of the condition. Certain herbs are used to generate sweat, vitalize the blood, harmonize bodily systems, drain dampness, purge bowels, soften hard masses and improve the immune system as well as a wide variety of other conditions. Because TCM believes that illness or maladies can be removed by addressing and treating the internal cause, Chinese herbs are so effective because the practitioner can design them so individually. In contrast, western medicines are designed for the multitudes and for treating symptoms, rarely causes.
Dr. Aram Nalbandyan has had deep and extensive training in herbology and is considered a master at his profession. He possesses strong ethics and an intense desire to aid and heal his patients.
