Restoring proper blood flow is vital to promoting and maintaining health. For example if blood flow is diminished by as little as 3% in the breast area cancer may develop. Blood flow decreases as we age and can be impacted by trauma, injuries and certain diseases. Acupuncture\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ecam.oxfordjournals.org\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/nem051\">has been shown<\/a>\u00a0to increase blood flow and vasodilation in several regions of the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acupuncture stimulates the body\u2019s built-in healing mechanisms. <\/strong>Acupuncture creates \u201cmicro traumas\u201d that stimulate the body\u2019s ability to spontaneously heal injuries to the tissue through nervous, immune and endocrine system activation. As the body heals the micro traumas induced by acupuncture, it also heals any surrounding tissue damage left over from old injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acupuncture releases natural painkillers.<\/strong>\u00a0Inserting a needle sends a signal through the nervous system to the brain, where chemicals such as endorphins, norepinephrine and enkephalin are released. Some of these substances are 10-200 times more potent than morphine!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acupuncture reduces both the intensity and perception of chronic pain.<\/strong> It does this through a process called \u201cdescending control normalization\u201d, which involves the serotonergic nervous system. I will explain this process in further detail in the next post.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acupuncture relaxes shortened muscles.<\/strong>\u00a0This in turn releases pressure on joint structures and nerves, and promotes blood flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acupuncture reduces stress.<\/strong>\u00a0This is perhaps the most important systemic effect of acupuncture. Recent research suggests that acupuncture stimulates the release of oxytocin, a hormone and signaling substance that regulates the parasympathetic nervous system. You\u2019ve probably heard of the \u201cfight-or-flight\u201d response that is governed by the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system has been called the \u201crest-and-digest\u201d or \u201ccalm-and-connect\u201d system, and in many ways is the opposite of the sympathetic system.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ict.sagepub.com\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/6\/3\/251\">Recent research<\/a>\u00a0has implicated impaired parasympathetic function in a wide range of autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kataniataylor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cuppings-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1680 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kataniataylor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cuppings-.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What is Cupping?<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-metrics-module=\"embd-lnk\">\n<div class=\"article-page active-page\" data-page=\"1\">\n<section>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Cupping therapy come from Ancient Chinese Medicine\u00a0in which a therapist puts special cups on your\u00a0skin\u00a0for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain,\u00a0inflammation,\u00a0blood\u00a0flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue\u00a0massage. Read this article on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2225411014000509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> benefits of cupping.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I use cupping regularly in clinic for unresponsive muscle tension, chronic muscle tension and other pain syndromes.\u00a0 I use it frequently in people who work out frequently and rigorously and are sore.\u00a0 Body-builders, martial artists, and anyone engaged in high-intensity sports can greatly benefit from cupping. So can many others, however, you may not AUTOMATICALLY be a candidate for cupping.\u00a0 Fibromyalgia, Auto-immune diseases and weaker or frail bodies and constitutions may react badly to cupping.<\/p>\n<p>Who can do cupping?<\/p>\n<p>Cupping is currently practiced by many manual therapists, including massage therapists, chiropractors and PTs.\u00a0 Fire Cupping, the use of a flame to vacuum suction the cups to the body should only be used by Acupuncturists or someone with many hours of practice.\u00a0 It can be very dangerous. Please ask your practitioner how much training they have had if they are NOT and OMD in Nevada.\u00a0 Massage Therapists in NV are not allowed to do fire cupping.<\/p>\n<p>Dry Needling- what is it and who practices it?<\/p>\n<p>Dry Needling (DN) is term used frequently by Physical Therapists for the practice of inserting acupuncture needles into their patients.\u00a0 DN IS acupuncture.\u00a0 Another word for the technique of DN is trigger point therapy or trigger point needling and Acupuncturists incorporate this technique daily. Although acupuncture STYLES vary and some L.Ac.s and OMD may use LESS of this style of treatment, it is a part of Acupuncture education and treatment protocols.\u00a0 Physical Therapists who practice DN are regulated by their state boards and states differ on standards and level of regulation.\u00a0 Nevada currently allows a very limited version of DN by PT&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing you in my Clinic and working with you to achieve your health goals!<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Katania<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ehr.unifiedpractice.com\/Public\/OnlineBooking?ClinicUid=6464429a-6aae-4cc1-89d6-1cd375a592f8\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button blue large align-center inline\"><span class=\"vcex-button-inner theme-button-inner wpex-flex wpex-flex-wrap wpex-items-center wpex-justify-center\">Schedule an Appointment<\/span><\/a><\/div> [vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 32px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Testimonials<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<style>.vcex-testimonials-fullslider.vcex_6ac7eaef2badc .vcex-testimonials-fullslider-entry{color:#1e73be;}<\/style><div id=\"Testimonials\" class=\"vcex-module vcex-testimonials-fullslider wpex-py-40 dark-skin has-arrows has-controlnav  vcex_6ac7eaef2badc\"><div class=\"wpex-slider slider-pro\" data-fade-arrows=\"false\" data-arrows=\"true\" data-buttons=\"true\" data-loop=\"true\" data-auto-play=\"false\" data-fade=\"true\" data-auto-play-delay=\"5000\" data-animation-speed=\"600\" data-height-animation-duration=\"500\" data-touch-swipe-desktop=\"false\"><div class=\"wpex-slider-slides sp-slides\"><div class=\"wpex-slider-slide sp-slide entry post-2087 type-testimonials\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-inner wpex-text-center\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-entry wpex-font-light wpex-text-2xl wpex-clr wpex-last-mb-0 entry\"><div class=\"Uju0cf\">\n<div data-lid=\"06478717276347541852\" data-ulid=\"-3726655166277228275\" data-is-bulk=\"false\">\n<div class=\"OUCuxb\">\n<div class=\"XnNQm\">\n<div class=\"k4kupc\">\n<blockquote class=\"rSdjR\">\n<div class=\"DYAZaf\"><span class=\"oiQd1c\">One of the most frustrating parts about Endometriosis is that doctors are often very dismissive of symptoms and they often do not believe the symptoms could even be part of the disease. Dr. Taylor has been so amazing in helping me sort through my symptoms and struggles with Endo. She is compassionate and really listens to the types of issues I have and she helps me work out how they may be aligned with my cycle and what we can do to address them. The acupuncture is amazing for pain relief and GI relief, and it brings me a great deal of anxiety relief also. The supplements she prescribes for me have been a huge game changer to help me manage this disease and she constantly monitors to see if anything needs to be added or changed. She&#8217;s also been a great resource for natural remedies and she&#8217;s always there to answer any questions you might have. Incorporating acupuncture and supplements in your routine is a must for Endo, and Dr. Taylor has such a wealth of knowledge and so much compassion for this and other female issues.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lGXsGc\">\n<div class=\"VfPpkd-Jh9lGc\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zfaYcf\" data-listing-id=\"-3726655166277228275\" data-report-abuse-url=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/local\/review\/rap\/report?postId=ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNPdi1QVDlRRRAB&amp;entityid=ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNPdi1QVDlRRRItChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNPdi1QVERREhNDZ3dJMjV6VWxRWVFrUEw1b1FJGi4KF0NJSE0wb2dLRUlDQWdJQ092LVBUalFFEhNDZ3dJMjV6VWxRWVFrUEw1b1FJIhIJKxQ3PxhBmYARG6b4zilgWiIqE0Nnd0kyNXpVbFFZUWtQTDVvUUk&amp;wv=1&amp;d=286785535\" data-review-id=\"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNPdi1QVDlRRRAB\">\n<div class=\"VfPpkd-xl07Ob-XxIAqe-OWXEXe-oYxtQd\" data-disable-idom=\"true\">\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Uju0cf\">\n<div data-lid=\"06478717276347541852\" data-ulid=\"-3726655166277228275\" data-is-bulk=\"false\">\n<div class=\"OUCuxb\">\n<div class=\"XnNQm\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-author wpex-mt-20 wpex-mb-5 wpex-text-md\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-author-name\">Alex- Grateful Endo Sufferer<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpex-slider-slide sp-slide entry post-2078 type-testimonials\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-inner wpex-text-center\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-entry wpex-font-light wpex-text-2xl wpex-clr wpex-last-mb-0 entry\"><p>Dr. Taylor had been very beneficial to my lifelong circulatory issue.

But six years ago, the chronic body pain that I constantly suffered had reached a breaking point.\u00a0 Unwilling to try heavy medications, I was taking five to six ibuprofens at a time, several times a day. I remember sitting in my car, crying because the pain was so unbearable. A friend had suggested acupuncture and at the time, I had laughed at the idea that tiny needles could even touch what was ravaging my body every day \u2013 but I had reached the point of opening my mind, and body, to anything.<\/p>\n<p>By my third acupuncture session with Katania, I was no longer relying on ibuprofen to get me through the day. This was the first time in my adult life that I was not in daily, chronic pain! It was amazing! This began a journey that has transformed my life and the way I approach food and healing.<\/p>\n<p>During our sessions, Katania always begins with open questions about how my body is feeling\u2014and then, she <strong>listens carefully<\/strong>, following up with deeper questions, getting to the root of what is really happening in my body. Although she began by working on my chronic body pain, Katania quickly discerned that the cause for the pain was originating from my poor gut health and my decidedly SAD diet. She began to work on healing my gut, and subsequently, my body. Katania\u2019s vast knowledge about deep nutrition and how to achieve it in my body has changed the way my family approaches food and health.\u00a0 Cleansing and refining my diet has transformed and energized my life, freeing me from pain and medication.<\/p>\n<p>With Katania\u2019s guidance, I have rid my body of chronic pain, breakouts, constant bloating, allergies, hyperhidrosis, lack of energy, and idiopathic hypersomnia. It has been a liberating experience \u2013 I have a healthy life I would not otherwise have had. I cannot thank Katania enough for her\u00a0 knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-author wpex-mt-20 wpex-mb-5 wpex-text-md\"><div class=\"vcex-testimonials-fullslider-author-name\">Kelly | Long-time Patient<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<em>***This website does not provide medical advice.
