How I Choose Treatment

我是鄭凱勻醫師，自然醫學➕中醫，我在洛杉磯。

疼痛不是一個定點。我會考量神經系統狀態、肌肉、舊疤痕，也把整個人放進來看。

疼痛也可能和想法、記憶、情緒、身體感受形成的循環。

這些線索會幫助我決定用針灸拔罐、電針、PIT 神經周圍注射療法、Neural Therapy 神經療法，或是搭配治療。

Pain may look similar, but the pattern can be very different.

That’s why I start with listening, looking at the nervous system, movement, and the whole person.

Then I choose the tool that fits. Electroacupuncture, cupping/Gua Sha, PIT, Neural Therapy, or a combination.

聊懷孕第 5–6 個月的養胎。
古書裡居然希望孕婦這個時候：

「去看狗和馬在野外奔跑。」
🐕🐾🐴🐎

很妙吧？🤯

我是鄭凱勻醫師，來自台灣，是美國洛杉磯 Brentwood 的雙執照自然醫學醫師＋針灸師。

為什麼古人會這樣建議，背後其實和胎兒筋骨發育、身心連結有關。請見substack文章。

情緒反應變大，不一定只是事情本身。

肚子餓、沒喝水、生氣、孤單、太累，都能讓神經系統進入緊繃反應狀態。

HALT 是一個很簡單的自我檢查：

H — Hungry 餓了嗎？水喝夠了嗎？
A — Angry 在生氣什麼？
L — Lonely 需要陪伴或支持嗎？
T — Tired 是不是太累了？

先照顧最基本的需要，再回頭看待事情。

身體穩下來了，你做出的反應也會不一樣。

Sometimes a strong emotional reaction starts with missing the basics.

Hunger, dehydration, anger, loneliness, and fatigue can all make the nervous system more reactive.

HALT is a simple check-in:

H — Hungry
A — Angry
L — Lonely
T — Tired

Meet the basic need first, then reassess.

When the body is better supported, our response changes too.

病人教我的故事 #2｜戰士

她來找我時，身體和神經系統都很痛。檢查做了很多，結果都正常，但她的痛很真實。

治療一段時間後，她的疼痛改善很多，不再需要止痛藥。

讓我印象深刻的是，
她看見自己一直以來的戰鬥模式：
「扮演角色、受傷痛、對抗、再撐下去」。

從我們的治療與對談中，
她慢慢找回自己的聲音。

戰士還在。
只是，不再拿來對抗。

而是把戰士的勇氣，拿來活出真正的自己。

What My Patients Teach Me #2 | The Warrior

When she first came to see me, she was in a lot of physical and nervous system-related pain. She had already done the workup, and everything came back normal, but the pain was very real.

With treatment, her pain improved.

What stayed with me even was watching her awakened to the way she had always pushed through and fought everything. Now she is beginning to find her own voice again and have compassion towards herself.

The warrior is still there.
It does not fight or resist like it used to.

She is using that courage to live true to herself.

有時候，我們本能地會對抗疼痛。

但真正讓我們更痛苦的，未必只有疼痛本身，而是我們一直想控制它。

當疼痛已經到了極限，抗拒不一定會讓它變小。

有時候，放下對控制的執著，身體反而慢慢安靜下來。

疼痛可能還在。

但在那份安靜裡，身體也開始引導下一步該怎麼走。

We naturally fight pain.

But sometimes what creates the most suffering isn’t the pain itself. It’s the constant effort to control it.

When resistance begins to soften, the body becomes quieter.

The pain may still be there.

But in that quiet, the body often begins to guide what it needs next.

有些疼痛來自肌肉、關節；有些則可能與表淺神經受到刺激有關。

Perineural Injection Therapy（PIT）是一種利用低濃度葡萄糖，注射於受刺激的表淺神經周圍的治療方式。對於部分神經性疼痛患者，或因裝有心律調節器等植入式電子裝置而不適合接受電針治療的人，PIT 可能是一項可考慮的選擇。

每位患者都不同，重要的是先找出疼痛的模式，再選擇適合的治療方式。

PIT 現已於 Brentwood洛杉磯診所提供囉！

Irritated superficial nerves may be contributing to the pain pattern.

Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) uses small, shallow injections of low-concentration dextrose near irritated superficial nerves. It is one treatment option I may consider when nerve irritation appears to be involved, and may also be appropriate for patients who cannot receive electroacupuncture, such as those with certain implanted electronic devices.

Treatment starts with understanding the pattern, then choosing the right tool.

很多年前，一個機會讓我開始翻譯《徐之才逐月養胎方》，一部距今一千四百多年的中醫孕產典籍。

原本以為，我只是翻譯一本古老醫書。翻譯的過程中，我慢慢認出一個更大的架構。

懷孕，並不是單純按照月份來描述。它是依循著五行、五季的規律，一步一步展開。

書中並沒有直接教五行，也沒有告訴讀者：「現在開始用五行思考。」它本身就是依照這樣的思維寫成的。

為了更容易理解，我把十個月重新整理成五個階段，也畫下這些圖，希望把當時所看見的規律整理出來。

完整文章，以及我當年整理的原始圖表，都放在我的 Substack。

Sometimes a text teaches you more than what is written on the page.

Years ago, while translating 《徐之才逐月養胎方》 (Month-by-Month Formulas of Nurturing the Fetus), I started noticing patterns that weren’t explicitly explained.

The recommendations across pregnancy seemed to follow the same underlying principles found throughout Traditional Chinese Medicine: Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the five seasons, and the natural rhythms of growth and transformation.

This carousel is a brief introduction to that journey.

If you’d like to see the full article, along with the original diagrams and artwork I created to organize these ideas, you can find it on my Substack.

「針灸會不會很痛？」

在我的診所，我不追求「越痛越有效」。

身體在放鬆、往往更容易開始修復。

所以來治療時，只需要帶著一個念頭：

我想變得更好。

歸零 • 重塑 • 煥新

“Does acupuncture really hurt?”

In my practice, healing isn’t about pushing through pain.

We often heal best when the body feels safe to relax.

Come with one intention:

I want to get better.

上善若水。《道德經》

水滋養。
水適應。
水流動。

水是千變萬化的。
它可以靜靜地停留在掌心，
也可以順著重力，
化作強大的瀑布。

數千年來，
中醫醫家觀察自然，
藉此理解生命。

古老的智慧，現代的健康。

The highest good is like water.

Water nourishes.
Water adapts.
Water flows.

For thousands of years, Chinese Medicine physicians observed nature not only to understand disease, but to better understand life.

Perhaps that’s why Laozi compared the highest good to water.

Ancient wisdom for modern health.

病人教我的事 #1｜調節

最近，一位病人分享了一段經歷。

她遇到了一場突如其來的意外。

當下，身體自然做出了該有的反應。

事後，她才發現，自己沒有像以前一樣持續困在那個驚嚇裡，而是很自然地繼續生活。

自律神經真正的調節，不是永遠保持平靜。

而是，

該反應的時候反應，該放鬆的時候放鬆。

人生不會沒有壓力。

重要的是，我們不需要一直停留在那裡。

What My Patients Teach Me #1 | Regulation

One of the greatest lessons my patients continue to teach me is that healing isn’t about eliminating stress.

It’s about regaining the ability to respond… and then return.

That’s what regulation looks like.
