- Description:
- Dennis Barrow provides acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine services in Washington DC. Traditional Chinese Medicine, utilizing the therapies of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and diet, addresses the full range of human disease: acute and chronic; traumatic; infectious; and, internally generated. Acupuncture, herbal medicine and proper dietary practices are excellent and effective choices for any condition or for diseases that modern Western medicine either does not understand, or for which it has no effective treatment. It is especially good for promoting the body's ability to heal and recuperate. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides a low cost, noninvasive, and noniatrogenic (no side effects) alternative or compliment to Western medicine in the treatment of infertility. Dennis Barrow L.Ac. Dipl.Ac. practices Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in Washington DC with a specialization in infertility and gynecology. Chinese medicine is a holistic medicine that does not view reproductive health as separate from one’s overall emotional and physical health. Because TCM focuses on rebalancing individuals and not just treating diseases, its’ treatments are individually tailored and have low potential side effects. Thus TCM not only improves the probability of becoming pregnant, it also serves to promote the systemic health and well being of the whole person One emphasis within the practice is the treatment of women's health and fertility. The TCM treatment of fertility takes advantage of modern Western medical influences. The state of the art practice in fertility treatment utilizes the TCM diagnostic methodology of “pattern discrimination” to holistically treat named Western pathologies such as anovulation, luteal phase defect, midcycle bleeding, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovarian syndrome, etc. Treatment is usually given along with and adjusted based on the phases of the menstrual cycle. The focus of TCM treatment of fertility is to regulate the menstrual cycle. A woman will often receive different herbal formulas or acupuncture protocols at different times within her cycle. TCM strives to heal the entire person. A one hour counseling session on proper diet, stress reduction, and exercise is a standard part of the treatment protocol.
