Acupuncture

Acupuncture is recognized by leading national and international health organizations to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems. Some of the common health concerns that acupuncture can help with include:

• Allergic symptoms
• Fatigue, stress and anxiety
• Insomnia
• Migraine/tension headaches
• Pain management
• Skin conditions and inflammation

An acupuncturist will start with the initial exam where a full health history is taken. Questions are asked regarding health, symptoms and lifestyle. An appropriate physical exam may be conducted, which may include a pulse and tongue evaluation. Gathering of information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances that may have contributed to a person’s health problems.

The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan. After the interview process, you may receive an acupuncture treatment, which may include additional modalities such as cupping, massage, exercise and relaxation techniques. The first session with your acupuncturist may last for 60 – 90 minutes.

Sports Performance and Recovery Acupuncture

This session is designed for athletes interested in improving performance and/or recovering from a specific sports injury or activity. Each session begins with a short assessment followed by a treatment session which may include a combination of acupuncture, cupping, micro-current therapy and soft tissue manipulation.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is combined with acupuncture in one treatment, but it can also be used alone. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve pain in the neck, back, shoulders, elbows, knees and other joints, as well as to relieve stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines and rheumatism. Cups are retained on acupuncture meridians for 10-15 minutes.

Ear Acupressure Therapy

This non-needling treatment involves placing herbal seeds on specific ear acupuncture points to address many ailments. This treatment complements acupuncture therapy between regular visits.
