Acupuncture: Russel Koutrouby

Russel Koutrouby has been helping individuals achieve optimal health and healing through Oriental Medicine at the Northport Wellness Center for over 8 years. His practice includes the medical therapies of Acupuncture, Massage and Chinese Herbal Medicines.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an holistic therapy. Recent research has demonstrated the link between acupuncture and responses in the neurological centers of our brains. These responses help restore our regulatory control systems, improve our ability to adapt to stressful challenges from the environment and help alleviate the signs and symptoms we get when we become ill.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

The traditions of herbal medicine that developed in China over the last two millennia have survived as a major part of the health care system and constitute the most comprehensive clinical strategy for the use of herbal medicines anywhere in the world. The degree of safety and effectiveness in treating conditions ranging from the common cold to autoimmune disorders has an unparalleled history.

Medical Massage & Bodywork

Medical Massage or Bodywork is a Structured and Focused Touch therapy. The therapeutic nature of medically oriented massage & bodywork can reestablish many of the major fluid rhythms of the body and can also reintegrate your physical structure to improve your posture and ability to move.

Conditions Treated

Russel has treated many conditions including Respiratory, Musculoskeletal, Gastrointestinal, Women’s reproductive and cyclical issues, Autoimmune related conditions, and the pain, stress and emotional issues that cannot be separated from these conditions.

Treatment Principles

According to Russel, healing treatments occur at three levels, all three of which are required for optimal healing.

  1. Organized treatment to combat symptoms
  2. A treatment regimen to treat against a patient’s disease presentation
  3. An individual treatment plan that includes enhancing the capacity of the patient to heal

Oriental Medicine and all the treatment options available at the Northport Wellness Center will assist in restoring and improving an individual’s dynamic healing capacity and wellbeing. It is the combination of modalities of intervention that works well to rebalance the person and return or improve their health status. The holistic approach of Oriental medicine and the other treatment options available at the Northport Wellness Center moves away from the paradigm of diseased organs and single treatment modality options.
