What I offer
TREATMENT MODALITIES we OFFER
Acupuncture
This is a safe treatment involving the insertion of fine sterile and single use needles through the skin. Acupuncture taps into our body’s nervous system and brain waves to rebalance any disharmony.
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Treatments
Our custom blended herbs act as a supplement to the acupuncture and speed up the healing process. They nourish and boost your system when it is deficient and treat the symptoms directly while getting to the root of the problem.
Cupping
Heat-vacuumed glass jars are applied to the muscle to release toxins and tension and enhance circulation. While bruising may occur, it’s not painful or harmful in any way and a great way to speed up your body’s ability to heal.
Heat Treatments with Moxa or a TDP Lamp
These methods are used to warm areas of the body to promote health.
Electro Acupuncture
A mild electric micro-current similar to a TENS treatment may be used to stimulate the acupuncture points. A mild tingling or tapping sensation will be felt during treatments. This extra stimulation can speed up the healing process.
TuiNa
Therapeutic manipulation by fingertips of certain acupoints, muscles, and tendons.
Gua Sha
Light scraping on the skin in a small area using a smooth-edged instrument. This often results in bruising of the treated area. The bruising, which is not painful, usually resolves in 3-7 days.
Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture
Extra fine needles inserted on the face and surrounding areas promote detoxification and improve circulation and blood flow to the face. The improved flow allows the facial muscles to be nourished and to relax, smoothing out any wrinkles or lines. Facial acupuncture also stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity.
