Restore Mobility and Accelerate Pain Recovery
Physical pain should never limit your daily active lifestyle. As an experienced neuromuscular massage therapist, Dr. Deb uses myofascial and trigger point release, acupuncture and electric stimulation to resolve deep muscle injuries. She is also highly skilled at homeopathic point injection therapy, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, and Accelerated Recovery Performance.
We have successfully treated elite athletes from the Baltimore Orioles, IMG Academy, and professional volleyball and tennis organizations. Our acupuncture clinic is dedicated to promoting fast myofascial recovery and long-term injury prevention.
Breathe Freely with Integrative Pulmonary Care
Lung conditions require specialized support to restore your comfort and vitality. We offer targeted solutions, like respiratory acupuncture paired with thorough assessments, clapping, and percussion to clear pathogens and ease breathing difficulty. Dr. Deb is an expert respiratory therapist, helping patients manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, bronchitis, long COVID, seasonal allergies, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and other disorders.
- Breathing Retraining: Teaching specific techniques like pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic pacing to optimize lung mechanics during exertion.
- Self-Management Education: Structured guidance on proper inhaler techniques, medication compliance, oxygen equipment use, and early recognition of flare-ups (action planning).
- Behavioral & Psychosocial Support: Interventions aimed at improving long-term adherence to physical activity and coping with chronic illness.
Dr. Deb is also successful in treating patients with allergies using Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). This is a non-invasive, alternative medicine method created by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in 1983 to diagnose and treat allergies. NAET is the perfect treatment for children and infants, a surrogate can be used instead of acupuncture with equally beneficial results.
Through respiratory acupuncture, we help reduce chronic coughing and airway inflammation. By choosing Dr. Luo’s Oriental Medicine, you receive safe medication guidance alongside comprehensive vital sign assessments.
