Both locations have now reopened with limited hours, and each follows strict sanitation and safety guidelines to ensure patient and staff health is never put at risk. Modern Acupuncture’s mission is to make their clients’ lives better by making acupuncture truly accessible. As a national franchise, they have a methodology and train all acupuncturists to ensure that when patients visit multiple locations across the country, they are confident that they will get consistent, effective treatment. “The stress of the past few months makes the healing relief from pain and anxiety found with acupuncture Many patients fall asleep during their treatments—even those who come to be treated for insomnia! “I have been a long-time fan of acupuncture and have had acupuncture to treat many different ailments over many years. The opportunity to take this ancient Chinese medical treatment to many more people with a ‘modern’ approach was too good to pass up,” explains Arata. “Most people have no idea how acupuncture can positively impact their health and their lives. Our ideal client is someone who is open-minded about understanding about how various treatments work and willing

to try something new.”

local insight Oral Symptoms Possible COVID Clues

A distinguishing feature of COVID-19 has been the baffling variety of ways it manifests in people who test positive—from no discernable symptoms to physical and cognitive issues typically not associated with a respiratory virus. Two recent studies add new pieces to the didomaskinaAdobeStock.com agnostic puzzle, by exploring the link between oral symptoms and novel coronavirus. The first study, published June 16 in the journal Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery , evaluated symptoms in 140 COVID-19 patients. It concluded that “a considerable number” experienced oral and olfactory (taste and smell) disorders, and that “women presented with a different cluster of symptoms than men, which may suggest a new clinical approach to diagnosing COVID-19 disease.” The second study, published June 26 in the journal Evidence-Based Dentistry, studied three confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients displaying dermatological symptoms in the mouth. Two of the patients had oral lesions typical of those seen with herpes simplex, although the patients had no history of that virus. The third patient had lesions on the tongue consistent with a dermatological immune reaction known as erythema multiforme. The study’s authors conclude that there may be a link between novel coronavirus and oral dermatological symptoms, which may be overlooked during diagnostic evaluations.
