Acupuncture
PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT
The first thing we do is put each patient through an assessment to figure out the why behind each individual injury. We use a combination of muscle testing, orthopedic testing, range of motion testing, and an assessment of the individual’s mechanics to determine what muscles are creating the problem or inhibited due to injury.
ORTHOPEDIC ACUPUNCTURE
A combination of Eastern medicine and the biomechanic principles of Western medicine, orthopedic acupuncture is an innovative treatment for musculoskeletal issues and pain management.
DRY NEEDLING
By targeting trigger points or what the ancient Chinese practitioners termed 'Ashi' points, dry needling swiftly relieves muscle and tendon discomfort accelerating recovery, promoting pain relief, and optimizing athletic performance.
ELECTRO-STIMULATION
Electro-acupuncture boosts neurotransmitter and neuropeptide release, effectively blocking pain signals in the peripheral and central nervous system. This leads to enhanced pain relief, promoting faster recovery and improved overall well-being.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion (Moxa) is a technique in which an herb called mugwort is burned directly or indirectly on the skin to activate heat-shock proteins which reduces inflammation, increases white blood cell activation, and improves blood circulation. Perfect for arthritis conditions, chronic pain, or severe menstrual cramps.
