This is a new site and we are happy to begin the process of making our presence known. Please check out our video showing how we can treat dogs using acupuncture. It is simple to say, but if it works on our four legged friends it most certainly will work on you. Also, if you would like to listen to some of our relaxing music we play during treatments you are welcome to do so.
Larry Meadows has practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine in Southeastern Indiana for ten years.Previous to that he attended a four year medical school where he studied at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine.
Studying and practicing medicine has been a third career for Larry. He served in the U.S. Army and the Kentucky State Police. After retiring his uniforms, he worked in Alaska managing three cities and an oil corporation. He chose medicine in his early fifties and brings his extensive life experiences to enrich his knowledge of working with diseases that plague us all.
By using tongue and pulse diagnosis, Dr. Meadows can determine the underlying cause of patient symptoms and then treat with acupuncture based on the results of his diagnosis. This technique of diagnostic assessment is something Dr. Meadows learned in medical school. He determines the condition of the internal organs and the overall condition of the patient. This technique is now being taught in seminars to Western Medicine physicians as it gains popularity in this country.
E-mail is a great way to reach Dr. Meadows. He answers all e-mails from inquiries. His e-mail address is:
Angel is a ten or eleven year old Bishon Frische. She makes an excellent model to demonstrate how Dr. Meadows uses his techniques in treating using acupuncture. By watching the video one can see how Angel can barely feel the needles as they are inserted.
Dr. Meadows uses similar techniques in needle insertion along human patients using a Huatojiaji treatment. In this manner between 30 to 40 needles are inserted along the backbone and down the patient's hips. These treatments are used for back, hip and neck pain.
We find that trying to show a patient other than Angel getting a treatment poses us all kinds of ethical questions. Seeing how the needles are inserted without pain and how extensive an acupuncture treatment can be is shown with this short video. What might not be obvious and needs to be described is the extent that the patient must be esposed in their treatment for symptoms of back pain for example. It takes a good sense of trust and good repore with the practicioner for the success of any treatment. It is in this light that we present our practice in this website.
