Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at specific points to stimulate muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. This evidence-based technique effectively addresses chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions. Our approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern orthopedic assessments for optimal pain relief outcomes.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted treatment of muscle tension points using minimal needles and gentle stimulation. This method addresses sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions with less patient discomfort. Our technique focuses on improving range of motion while minimizing treatment-related stress.
Cupping
Cupping creates localized decompression to enhance circulation and fascial mobility. Using glass or silicone cups, this therapy improves tissue fluid dynamics without excessive bruising. Patients experience temporary relief from muscle tightness and improved tissue oxygenation.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha uses specialized tools to glide across skin and muscles, enhancing circulation and reducing pain. This technique improves fascial glide and range of motion without causing therapeutic bruising. Patients report immediate improvements in tissue mobility and pain reduction.
Electrical Acupuncture
Combines acupuncture with electrical stimulation to enhance pain relief effects. This modality activates the body's natural opioids for chronic pain management. Used in conjunction with other therapies for comprehensive treatment of anxiety, sciatica, and sports injuries.
