Uveitis Treatment Oceanside, California
Uveitis is a form of eye inflammation that affects the middle layer of the eyewall tissue (uvea). The main symptoms include eye redness, pain, and swelling.

It may affect one or both eyes, with the symptoms that may occur suddenly and worsen quickly.

How We Treat Uveitis at Makari Wellness of Oceanside, CA

Inserting thin needles through the skin at specific points in the body stimulates the central nervous system. It also focuses on promoting the circulation of Qi and blood around the eyes, and it can successfully boost the overall visual acuity. The number of treatments depends on the co-existing health issues and how well the patient responds to the treatment.
Micro Acupuncture 48
The best results are achieved with the combination of Chinese herbs. Known as a modern-hybrid acupuncture system, it involves 48 acupuncture points located only on hands and feet. It has many measurable and positive clinical results, especially in treating eye conditions like glaucoma, uveitis, optic nerve atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, and many more.

Learn About Uveitis Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options
What is Uveitis?
Uveitis is an inflammatory response in the eye caused by a broad range of conditions or diseases. It can cause swelling and tissue damage and lead to reduced vision or, in some more serious cases, even blindness.
Uveitis Causes
The causes of the inflammation of the eye can be divided into 3 groups:
- Autoimmune diseases, where your immune system attacks the eyes, like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, sarcoidosis, ulcerative colitis, and many more.
- Infectious causes include AIDS, herpes, toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, etc.
- Eye injury, trauma or toxins penetrating the eye.
Uveitis Alternative Treatment
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses several practices for uveitis natural treatment, bringing your body into balance or homeostasis. These include acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, and Chinese nutrition and lifestyle. These treatments aim to stimulate the production body’s own natural chemicals involved in pain relief, thus reducing eye inflammation, redness, and swelling.
Acupuncture for Inflammation
Treating many local acupuncture points with acupuncture, we can provide a natural cure for uveitis. The process involves the insertion of small, thin needles into specific acupoints around the eyes. The main goal is to restore the body’s balance, energy, and harmony. It balances the flow of energy or life force (Qi or Chee) that is believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body.
