ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture involves the strategic insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body for therapeutic effect. It has been used for thousands of years and has been shown to improve circulation, decrease swelling, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and promote tissue repair.
One way that acupuncture works is by stimulating the body’s central nervous system to increase the secretions of neurotransmitters like endorphins and serotonin. These chemicals naturally help relieve pain and regulate mood, thereby improving both physical and emotional well-being.
herbs
Chinese herbal medicine can offer powerful benefits for restoring, maintaining, and promoting health. When properly administered, herbal formulas can have strong therapeutic effects with minimal-to-no side effects. Herbal formulas can be used to help a wide variety of health conditions, including aches, pains, stress, indigestion, allergies, insomnia, depression, PMS, and infertility.
cupping
The practice of cupping therapy has deep historical roots and documentation of its usage has been found in ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and the Middle East. Many materials have been used for cupping including bamboo, animal horns, and metal, but glass and plastic are the most prevalent today.
The cups are applied to the skin with a vacuum-effect that acts to decompress the underlying tissue layers. This helps to bring blood flow to the area while stimulating lymphatic drainage to eliminate toxins. After treatment, muscles and nerves often feel more relaxed, and the treated area can feel lighter and enhanced with greater range-of-motion.
MOXibustion
Traditional moxibustion is the use of an herb from the artemisia family to treat symptoms of deficiency or "cold" in the body. Patients find immense benefit when moxibustion is used in conjunction with needling. Circulation is improved when certain points and meridians of the body are warmed with the moxa. If you suffer from arthritic pain aggravated by weather, have a stiff neck due to cold and flu, or are post-partum, you may be surprised at how effective moxibustion treatment alleviates pain.
