Vocal Disorders and Acupuncture

The vast majority of vocal issues respond extraordinarily well to acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. Clients seek out treatment for the entire range of voice issues ranging from acute laryngitis to laryngal nodes, cord hemorrhaging to paralysis.

Many professional singers come to the Northside Holistic Center to first resolve a voice-threatening issue and then often use acupuncture, preventatively, to improve their range and quality and prevent future damange. We have been fortunate enough to work with well known singers from the Lyric Opera, Chicago Opera Theater, Hamilton, Wicked, Jersey Boys, and many more.

Some of the vocal issue we treat include:

Hoarseness
Laryngitis
Laryngospasm
Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis or Laryngeal Papillomatosis
Spasmodic Dysphonia
Vocal Cord Nodules, Polyps, and Cysts
Vocal Cord Paralysis
Vocal Fold Paralysis
Laryngeal Atypia
Reflux Laryngitis
Reinke’s Edema
Vocal Fold Granuloma
Vocal Fold Scarring
