Every doctor has his or her area of expertise. Their diagnoses, treatment principles and thought processes are also influenced by the philosophy and purpose of each clinic and the doctors’ and managers’ individual approach to their practice. The practice philosophy of the Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center team is to select excellent physicians, with different areas of expertise, to form an efficient and high quality medical team and thus provide the best professional service to patients.

As a professional Acupuncturist and Medical Director of Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center, Dr. Ming Jin feels it’s her responsibility to view her practice from her patients’ perspective. "If I were a patient, what kind of services would I need?" Our Ming Qi Specialty Outpatient Service was developed in response to that very question. Below is a description of the services and treatments available on a Specialty Outpatient basis.

Pain Rehabilitation: In the United States, Acupuncture is most widely used as a form of analgesic therapy, addressing pain syndromes associated with various bone and joint diseases, spinal diseases, osteoporosis, soft tissue injury, traumatic pain as well as systemic diseases. Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center offers MDs specializing in Pain Management to provide necessary evaluations and diagnoses. Combining therapies and modalities such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage, moxibustion, Chinese herbal therapy, physical therapy and other methods, our Acupuncturists, TCM Herbalists, Tui Na (Medical Massage) Therapists, Physical Therapists, and Chiropractors work together to achieve the best possible therapeutic outcome.

Pre and Post Surgical Therapy: Unique to Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center, our Pre and Post Surgical therapy has, over the course of more than 30 years, helped many patients avoid surgical complications and promote postoperative rehabilitation. Preoperative conditioning can prevent infection, excessive blood loss, decrease the need for anesthetic and reduce narcotic side effects. Postoperative conditioning can reduce pain, eliminate edema, improve blood circulation, promote wound healing, enhance organ function, and accelerate physical recovery.

Infertility IVF / IUI: One of the most distinctive specialty services of Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center is TCM infertility treatment. The combination of Acupuncture and Herbal therapy can help address conditions influencing fertility such as anovulation or infrequent ovulation, fallopian tube obstruction and habitual miscarriage. In collaboration with Cornell and New York University IVF Centers, TCM infertility treatment at Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center has been credited with enhancing the success rates of IUI and IVF by as much as an 80% over fertility interventions alone. TCM treatment for infertility also includes focus on male fertility enhancement, using Acupuncture for improving sperm quality and reducing the number of abnormal sperm, and Chinese Herbal therapy for enhancing male sexual function and increasing sperm counts.

TCM Gynecology: Acupuncture is particularly effective in the treatment of gynecological dysfunction, the most common of which include menstrual disorders, such as dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal syndrome. Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center offers a unique line of private label pure herbal capsules such as Fibrex / JLP, Ovacyst-ease / NZX, PCOS-ease / JC, Endom-ease / JM used to treat uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. These herbal formulas are effective in both alleviating symptoms and in the prevention of cancer cell genesis. Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center also offers an externally applied herbal lotion that is most effective in the treatment of chronic vaginitis.

Pregnancy and Lactation Conditioning: Pregnancy conditioning refers not only to the treatment of a variety of symptoms and disorders that come about during early pregnancy, but also more importantly, to improving fetal physical condition and enhancing fetal brain development by modulating the maternal condition. Such modulation is set in accordance with the characteristics of the different stages of fetal development. Lactation conditioning is addressed by means of an Eastern Nutritional medical diet, which is another specialized and unique service offered by Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center. TCM Gynecology was the focus of Dr. Jin’s research during pursuit of her PhD, and as such, is a particular specialty of Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center.

Tumor Prevention and Treatment: Acupuncture plays an important role in the treatment of cancer patients. Integrative treatment has been shown to improve efficacy of Western interventions, reduce side effects, reduce the rate of tumor recurrence and promote overall health and wellbeing. Dr. Ming Jin is also an acupuncturist on staff at Memorial Sloan - Kettering Cancer Center. She has conducted over 20 years of clinical research on the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of cancer in the United States, and has provided support and preventative treatment services to patients with various types of cancer during their chemo and radiotherapy, as well as palliative care and symptomatic treatment for those patients with advanced stage tumors. In TCM theory, cancer prevention is far more important than treatment. For patients with a family history of cancer, the focus of TCM treatment is to provide a sound preventive health care plan and a standard course of treatment to improve immunity and enhance the overall indices of health.

Boosting Immunity: Acupuncture and TCM offer a two-pronged approach in boosting immunity. Together, they not only can improve immune function and thereby prevent infectious diseases from taking hold, but also regulate immune response to help alleviate allergic symptoms. There is no equivalent Western medical intervention, and in this area, TCM offers a unique benefit. This therapy is commonly used in the treatment of colds, viral infections, pollen allergies, herpes outbreaks, autoimmune infertility, lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Hormone Regulation: The hormones comprehensively reflect the internal and external condition of the human body. In Western medicine, hormones are recognized as essential in maintaining body functions, as in the secretion of neuroendocrine hormones such as thyroid hormone, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and insulin. Hormonal imbalance can lead to many diseases and contribute to functional decline. Enhancing and facilitating the natural aging process includes balancing both hormonal growth and decline. By regulating yin and yang, nourishing the blood, improving intelligence, boosting immunity and thus enhancing bone strength and flexibility, Acupuncture can increase mental acuity and improve overall longevity.

TCM Wellness Care: From a TCM therapeutic perspective, prevention is valued over treatment. Corresponding health care plans such as our seasonal preventative care plan, male/female health care plans, occupational/disease prevention plan, senior health plan, alcohol and smoking cessation treatments and bowel detox plans are devised according to the change of seasons, the Chinese Lunar calendar, gender differences, the characteristics of the work environment, geographical location and other individualized factors.

Eastern Dietary Therapy: The method of using Eastern nutritional ingredients cooked along with Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs is known as “Shi shan,” “Nutritional Diet,” or in essence, food with curative effects. In this way diet can be used to adjust imbalance of yin and yang, regulate blood pressure, improve physical fitness, relieve symptoms and prevent or treat disease. This approach is commonly used clinically in the treatment of obesity, hair loss, postpartum lactation deficiencies, weakness and fatigue and recuperation from surgery or disease. It is also used in the treatment of such conditions as thyroid disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disease, anemia and osteoporosis.

Online Consult: Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center offers the opportunity for United States based patients to meet with a specialized treatment group comprised of Chinese clinical experts from mainland China via web-cam. Our specialists include experts in the field of TCM Cancer Care, Infertility, Surgery, Liver Disease, Pulmonary Care, Cardiology, Psychiatry, and Pediatrics.
