Renaud, 44, has been a licensed New York state acupuncturist since 2000. His office is at 485 Western Ave. inside the Acupuncture Balancing building, previously called Albany Classical Acupuncture. Nearby landmarks include the  Mobil station and Citizen’s Bank.

His search for office space to practice acupuncture brought him to the Pine Hills. He chose this neighborhood for his practice because it is convenient for people who seek his help to get here. His clients can walk or take a bus; or, they can drive and use the parking lot behind the building.

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that can be used to treat various conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, migraines, the common cold, asthma, and many others. This is done by the insertion and guidance of sterile needles in specific points of the human body. Renaud also uses a technique called “cupping” which could provide effective relief for muscle pain, spasms, and more.

Since 2006, Dr. Ruth Roberts veterinary clinic on James Island has been using the same ancient technique on man’s best friend.

Dr. Roberts says, “In most cases we are able to restore mobility and diminish pain to the point that the animal has an excellent quality of life.”

Dr. Roberts uses the same type of needles used for acupuncture on people and places them in different pressure points or meridians on the animal. She says the hope with the procedure is to use the needles to stimulate the flow of blood and chi or energy to bring the body back to normal order and functioning.

“In some cases it can be stunning. We can see some dogs that have to be carried in here and can walk out with some assistance that’s what we love to see,” Dr. Roberts says.

After a forgettable finish last season, Rockies right-hander Jason Hammel turned to acupuncture and herbs. He did so at his wife’s suggestion, openly searching for a way to combat a dead arm and lacking energy that he traced to cholesterol medication.

“The medication worked, but one of the side effects was body soreness. Bottom line is that I didn’t pitch well. No excuses. But I wanted to get off the medication,” said Hammel, who went 10-9 with a 4.81 ERA last season. “My wife suggested that I try acupuncture and I was like, ‘Come on.’ But I was astonished.”

The morning after his first session in Providence, R.I., Hammel couldn’t believe how good he felt. Not only were his muscles relaxed, his energy level was redlining.

“Usually at 8 in the morning, I am dragging. It was amazing,” Hammel said.

PCOS is a common disorder that affects up to 10% of all women of child-bearing age. Women with PCOS frequently have irregular ovulation and menstruation, with many small immature egg follicles in the ovaries. This causes the ovaries to produce more testosterone which, in turn, leads to troublesome hair growth and acne. Obesity, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease are also widespread among these patients.

In the current study, published in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, a group of women with PCOS were given acupuncture where the needles were stimulated both manually and with a weak electric current at a DELETE”VERY” low frequency that was, to some extent, similar to muscular work. A second group was instructed to exercise at least three times a week, while a third group acted as controls. All were given information on the importance of regular exercise and a healthy diet.

“The study shows that both acupuncture and exercise reduce high levels of testosterone and lead to more regular menstruation,” says docent associate professor Elisabet Stener-Victorin, who is responsible for the study. “Of the two treatments, the acupuncture proved more effective.”

“Chinese medicine is a very hard thing for Westerners to understand,” Glenn said. “This is a practice that is more than 5,000 years old – based on the vital energy in the body.”
Glenn said the Chinese were meticulous record keepers that began with the cause and effect in the body. It is not magic or mystical, but rather a physiological response to the body. It is all about balance – the yin and the yang.
