Acupuncture is an scientifically-backed traditional Chinese medicine practice in which thin, sterile needles are inserted into the skin to manipulate the body’s tissues and nervous system, triggering the body’s natural healing response and release of pain killing neurochemicals. This is our primary approach for healing patients with many different conditions as it has such a powerful effect on the body causing no adverse side-effects besides an occasional bruise. We also offer electroacupuncture, acupuncture with electrical stimulation. In electroacupuncture, a small electrode from an acupuncture needle stimulator machine will be attached to the needles. An electrical current will run through the electrode into the needles to more effectively stimulate the nerves and heal the area. This can be helpful for healing more stubborn injuries, muscle spasms, and relieving pain.

Acupressure is an ancient form of massage that involves using a metal vibrational tool called a “tuning fork” on pressure points to simulate the same effect acupuncture needles would have on the body. A small hammer is tapped on the end of the tuning fork to cause a vibration that stimulates the acupoint like a needle would. This service is a great alternative for those who have a fear of needles and want to experience the benefits of acupuncture.

Cupping is another traditional Chinese medicine healing therapy in which suction cups are placed on the body to draw blood to an affected area and promote faster healing, relieve muscle tension, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and increase blood circulation. Provides a similar sensation to a deep tissue massage. Our clinic offers fire or ventosa cupping, vacuum cupping and wet or hijama cupping.

Craniosacral therapy is a noninvasive, gentle hands-on approach to healing in which the practitioner examines the membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system to find where the body is holding tension. Using a gentle massage technique, the practitioner manipulates the tissues and joints to promote the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, relieving pain, stress and dysfunction.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing in which the practitioner guides the gentle flow of energy throughout the body using slow hand movements to facilitate a healing process. The practitioner channels some of their own energy from their palms to the patient and by doing so, the body can be brought back to a state of equilibrium and tranquility.

This is another form of energy healing that originated in India in which the practitioner restores balance to the body’s energy centers by clearing blockages or imbalances in the 7 chakras using a combination of gentle massage techniques, energy guiding hand movements, breathing exercises, essential oils, and healing crystals. This practice leaves the patient feeling reinvigorated, peaceful, and grounded.

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medicine practice in which a practitioner uses a smooth edged tool made of minerals such as jade, obsidian, quartz or bian stone to massage the inflamed area to open up the fascia, break up stagnant qi and promote circulation and lymphatic drainage. This is done by using downward scraping motions over the area and gradually increasing pressure with each repetition. Traditional body gua sha is most commonly done on areas like the back, legs, and arms. You may have seen people in the cosmetic community using gua sha or jade rollers for facial massage, however it’s much more gentle when used on the face. It’s popularity for cosmetic benefits is quickly increasing as it can create a more sculpted, skin tightening look by draining excess fluid from the face and neck and reducing puffiness.

Tui Na, or tuina, is a type of traditional Chinese massage that involves kneading, gliding, pulling, and pressing the area to loosen stiff muscles, increase circulation, and release the build up of lactic acid in the muscles. The practitioner may use certain pressure points to strategically release tension in the body. Pressure may vary based on the patient’s comfortability. Patients experiencing tightness, soreness, stiffness, muscle spasms, joint pain and muscle knots would benefit from this therapeutic massage.
