Eugene Center For Acupuncture - Malvin Finkelstein

Introduction: Dr. Malvin Finkelstein, O.M.D. developed Microcurrent Positional Technique (MPT) from his clinical experience treating thousands of patients in 35 years of acupuncture and Oriental medicine practice. MPT relieves pain, restores normal range of motion to joints in the body and accelerates healing. This new method does not utilize acupuncture needles, only microcurrent electricity and hands-on treatment, yet it achieves dramatic improvements in pain relief and range of motion almost immediately. MPT combines treatment: At specialized locations of acupuncture/trigger points Using a hand held microcurrent electrical device to relax tight muscle knots With acupressure/tuina to gently stretch tight muscles. Tension melts away in seconds. The positional portion of MPT involves positioning the body in specific ways to stretch and maximize access to treatment areas Patient education includes: Posture corrections Ergonomic advice Postural Qigong stretches are recommended to enhance the treatment and for ongoing improvement MPT offers quick, effective relief for acute and chronic neck, back, shoulder, knee and joint pain, as well as headaches, sinus, respiratory, digestive, gynecological conditions and much more. Patients who are unable to experience relief from other treatment options frequently find relief with MPT. For treatment of musculo-skeletal conditions, Oriental medicine assessment techniques determine which muscles and joints are associated with your condition. Tightness and tenderness in related acupuncture points is released with MPT. This phase of treatment is frequently followed by acupuncture. The combination of MPT and acupuncture gives faster, longer-lasting results. Postural Qigong stretches are recommended for patients to maintain the improvement gained during the treatments. For treatment of internal conditions, Dr. Finkelstein utilizes Oriental medicine treatment methods, including acupuncture and Chinese herbology.
