Specialist Medical Services - Fire Dragon Acupuncture
The Fire Dragon Method is a specialized form of acupuncture effective in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, one of the most common diseases in men aged 50 years and above. The condition causes the prostate gland to enlarge resulting in the compression of the urethra and obstruction of urine flow. Symptoms may include:

          ●Frequent urination

          ●Difficulty initiating urination (interruptions, weak flow)

          ●Feeling of persistent need to urinate regardless of frequency

          ●The need to strain in order to fully urinate

          ●Small amounts of urine due to poor urinary stream

The Fire Dragon Method is a unique, effective and safe treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and has been practiced for centuries with a high margin of success. This method applies heat to the skin on specific points relevant to the prostate gland. Expected outcomes include improved blood circulation, eliminate excess pathogens, andget rid of any obstructions. Furthermore, another potential benefit is the strengthening of the kidney and reproductive systems. The goal is to restore the body’s balance based on the Yin and Yang equilibrium for patient health and wellness.

What to expect?

To ensure best results, patients are recommended to undergo the procedure once a day for 10 sessions. During each visit, patients will be asked to lie down on his/her back or front as required. In the first session, your doctor will measure the size of the prostate gland by ultrasound. This data will then be used in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine theory to form an informed diagnosis before creating a treatment plan.

Generally, symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia will begin to subside after the fifth treatment session. After a full cycle of sessions the patient’s prostate gland will be examined again to determine effectiveness of treatment.
