OUR SERVICES
ACUPUNCTURE
CUPPING
Acupuncture is the use of very fine, sterile, stainless-steel needles inserted at various points around the body. Modern research has shown that acupuncture has wide reaching effects throughout the body. It promotes local and systemic blood circulation, influences the central nervous system, stimulates dopamine production, speeds the healing process from traumatic injury, can restore hormone balance, and helps bring the body back to a state of rest and balance by impacting the parasympathetic nervous system. This makes acupuncture a versatile method of healing that can treat a wide range of disease states in the body.
Cupping is an ancient healing modality that dates back millennia, and it is a key healing tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cupping is a technique that uses plastic, ceramic, or class cups to create suction on the skin, thereby lifting the muscle and fascia to help increase blood circulation, release tension in tight muscles, and detoxify the body. So, by using cupping to release the tension and allow fresh, oxygenated blood flow to the area, the muscles are able to recoup more quickly. That’s why this therapy is so well-received and used by top athletes. The results are nearly always immediate. After cupping, the patient feels much more relaxed, with less tension and pain. The cupping marks last about 2-5 days, depending on how dark they are. The darker the marks, the longer they are to fade.
SPINAL ALIGNMENT
TUI NA (ACUPRESSURE)
Spinal Alignment is a combination of high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusting techniques as well as body area-specific stretches, performed in a competent and safe manner. Spinal Alignment is commonly used for musculoskeletal pain syndromes on all parts of the spinal regions. This can be caused by prior injuries, stress-induced pain and tension, and general wear and tear on the body.
Acupressure uses rhythmic compression along energy channels of the body, as well as a variety of techniques such as rolling and plucking to manipulate and lubricate the joints. Acupressure directly affects the flow of energy by holding and pressing the body at acupressure points. Acupressure is commonly used for musculoskeletal pain syndromes on all parts of the body. These can be caused by arthritis, prior injuries and even stress induced pain and tension. Acupressure can also be used to treat internal conditions such as digestive disorders, asthma and Women's health.
