Treatment Methods
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle and effective medical treatment with a long history. Tiny sterile single-use needles are placed in specific areas of the body to stimulate the nervous and immune systems to speed up healing, reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation and promote feelings of relaxation. Acupuncture works seamlessly in conjunction with physical therapy, chiropractic, and massage. It has minimal side effects and no prescription drug interactions so it is perfect for those who are undergoing medical treatments. Acupuncture helps the body heal naturally and our patients love how it makes them feel!

Bodywork & Cupping
Cupping is a traditional therapy that has been described by our patients as better than a massage. Sterilized glass cups are heated gently with fire and quickly applied to the skin, creating a vacuum. Negative pressure melts muscle tension and connective tissue adhesions. We most often use cupping on the back, neck, and shoulders, but also apply cupping to hamstrings, biceps, or wherever muscles are tight and painful. Cupping is used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal complaints, improve circulation, and reduce tension. It is helpful for correcting postural imbalances from computer work or scoliosis, and helps improve athletic performance.
