Acupuncture is a time-honored approach to maintaining health and vitality of the body and mind. In addition to being extremely effective at treating pain and injury, acupuncture treatments have been shown to help alleviate seasonal allergies, gastrointestinal distress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, menstrual cycle issues, and more.
Sports Medicine + Orthopedic Acupuncture can be a cornerstone in a recovery or training plan. It addresses muscle imbalances, scar tissue, fascial adhesions, and injury. Our practitioners are skilled in orthopedic assessment that can help identify root causes of pain and movement dysfunction and avoid future injuries.
Massage & Manual Therapy help the body heal from both acute and chronic pain — and are also preventative in nature. Our tailored sessions use techniques such as sports massage, deep tissue, integrative bodywork, myofascial release, craniosacral, and pin and stretch among others.
Cupping therapy has been used for millennia by cultures around the world. It feels like a reverse massage, with a pulling sensation instead of pressure. Cupping increases blood flow, releases muscle tension, and breaks up fascial adhesions. We use it frequently on its own, or combined with acupuncture or massage therapy to treat persistent tightness and pain.
Gua Sha brings blood and lymph from deep in the tissue to the surface, delivering fresh oxygenated blood to muscle and fascial tissue & improving circulation. It is a particularly useful addition to acupuncture in treating back and neck pain, tension headaches, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff pain, and helping to release chronically stubborn areas.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a powerful tool for addressing many conditions. This approach has been used for thousands of years for everything from the common cold to upset stomach to menstrual irregularities and can be a very supportive addition to any treatment plan.
