TREATMENT TECHNIQUES AND THERAPIES
acupuncture
Acupuncture needles are inserted at strategic points and encourage blood flow to the area of insertion. Points are selected depending on the patients symptoms and underlying patterns.
When treating muscular skeletal pain, the points are selected to target physical structures to help relax muscles treat pain.
ELECTRO - acupuncture
A device that sends electric current is connected to the needles. This current helps to better stimulate the acupuncture points and is particularly beneficial in treating muscular skeletal pain and injury.
The strength of the current is adjusted incrementally to find a setting that is effective while still comfortable for the patient.
FIRE Cupping
Glass cups are held over a flame and then quickly placed on the body to create suction with the skin. The suction achieved from cupping activates the lymphatic system, promotes blood circulation and encourages deep tissue repair.
Acutonics® Tuning Forks
Calibrated tuning forks use sound wave frequencies to stimulate acupuncture points.
These instruments are beneficial in activating the parasympathetic nervous system and have a calming effect on the body.
