TREATMENT MODALITIES

Acupuncture The insertion of very fine, sterile and single-use needles placed in specific acupuncture points to assist rebalancing organ and biomedical disharmonies.

Herbal Therapy A prescription of herbs that is specifically designed to address an individual’s symptoms and constitution.  They may be dispensed in powders or pills.

Cupping A technique in which sterilized glass cups are heated to create a suction and then applied to the skin.  Not only is it pain-free but many people find it very relaxing.  It is used to increase circulation and release deep rooted lactic acid.

Moxibustion A technique that is used to stimulate acupuncture points.  An herb called mugwort, commonly known as moxa, is heated over particular areas of the body giving a warming sensation.  Moxibustion is commonly used to promote circulation and boost the immune system.

Electrical Stimulation A technique in which small alligator clips are placed on inserted acupuncture needles. A small 9-volt battery operated machine is then turned on and micro-current stimulates the acupuncture point. E-stim reduces inflammation and releases endorphins. This is similar to the TENS unit that physical therapists use.
