Sports Therapy
Our sports therapy program combines functional muscle testing with targeted treatments to enhance athletic performance and prevent injuries. Using the EXSTORE system, we identify dysfunctional muscles and implement electro-acupuncture and motor point stimulation to restore optimal function. This approach improves range of motion, reduces recovery time, and helps athletes maintain peak physical condition through personalized treatment plans.
Acupuncture
Board-certified acupuncture treatments address chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues through precise needle placement. Our approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern techniques like battlefield acupuncture for rapid pain relief. Each session includes comprehensive assessment and follow-up exercises to maximize treatment effectiveness and promote long-term wellness for conditions ranging from migraines to post-surgical recovery.
Dry Needling
Specialized dry needling targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. This technique effectively treats conditions like IT band syndrome and tennis elbow by releasing tight muscle bands and promoting blood flow. Combined with corrective exercises, it addresses both immediate symptoms and underlying muscular imbalances for lasting results in pain management and performance enhancement.
Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management approach addresses chronic conditions through acupuncture, soft tissue mobilization, and targeted therapies. We specialize in treating complex cases like spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia with personalized treatment plans that reduce medication dependence. By addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, we help patients achieve sustainable pain relief and improved quality of life.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy enhances blood circulation and relieves muscle tension through controlled suction. This technique effectively treats sports injuries, chronic back pain, and post-exercise recovery by releasing fascial restrictions and promoting lymphatic drainage. Integrated with other therapies, it accelerates healing and improves range of motion for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Only one day after my procedure, but I already can see results. First time I have been pain free in months. Looking forward to my next session!

Report
Moses was recommended to me by a friend for my back pain that Ive had since being in the Military and now an Emergency room nurse. I made the decision to try acupuncture about 2 months ago. I can honestly say it has been the best decision Ive made. After the initial appointment I was 60% decreased in pain. After my second appointment even more. I have been able to move so much better and have next to no pain. When going to appointments Moses makes it a point to hit any tension spots or trouble areas and relieve the pain. 10/10 recommend trying acupuncture.

I just starting seeing Mr. Alvarez, but I am already seriously impressed. He listened to my concerns carefully and was very thorough in his explanation of everything he was seeing and wanted to try. I am definitely going back and expect great things.

I've been seeing Moses for acupuncture for more than a year. My blood pressure has steadily declined; my mood has steadily improved. I highly recommend Vitality by choice.
