It involves the insertion of fine needles to specific points of the body to stimulate the free flow of qi and blood releasing the body’s natural painkillers, regulating hormones, and aiding the immune and nervous system.
Physical Therapy
By evaluating the functional interdependence of each part of the musculoskeletal system and utilizing a variety of methods including exercise, massage, heat, cold, and electricity to work the muscle groups, reducing the swelling of muscles, and aid in flexibility/mobility, physical therapy specializes in healing the patient and restoring them to optimum health.
Chiropractic Care
Using either Manual Adjustment, spinal manipulation through the chiropractor’s hands, or the Activator Method, which uses an adjustment tool to provide low-force adjustments, subluxations are detected and addressed for the purpose of increasing motion in joints, assuring the proper alignment of the spine, stimulating the nervous system, and stretching the muscles surrounding the joints for treating back pain.
Auriculotherapy / Ear Seed Acupuncture
Ear seeding involves using small beads, attached to an adhesive material, and applied to acupuncture points located on the surface of the ear to promote the release of natural endorphins. It is used for several common conditions which includes stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain such as migraines, and can also be used to help with weight loss.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Acupuncture for facial rejuvenation is a classic technique used in Asia for health and beauty to improve the oxygenation and detoxification of the skin, stimulating fibroblast cells, and encouraging collagen and elastin production that aid in reducing the properties of premature aging or acne-prone skin. It serves as a natural alternative to Botox treatments or cosmetic surgery.
Electro Acupuncture

Cupping therapy increases blood flow and stretches underlying muscle tissue to remove toxins by stimulating lymphatic systems to prevent uric acid buildup in the blood and urine.

It is effective in relieving inflammation, reducing aches and pains, and aiding in digestive or skin issues.

Gua Sha involves scraping and pressing against the skin with a flat-edged smoothing stone to improve circulation. In addition to pain relief, it has recently seen a surge in popularity in health and beauty treatments by reducing puffiness under the eyes and lifting cheekbones and brows.

Commonly asked questions related to our services
Many of our patients have indicated that the treatments are painless. Since acupuncture does involve the use of fine needles, the most you may feel is a slight pinch or a tingling sensation.
This tends to vary from case to case and depends on the severity of the issue. We will recommend a treatment plan based on our evaluation for best results but it is left to the patient on how often you wish to receive treatments.
We start with an initial comprehensive intake and treatment. There is also a telehealth option where the initial consultation can be handled through online conferencing.

There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing pain and resolving joint inflammation.
When vertebrae shift out of place, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow, our nerves, our immune system, and our minds cannot function at their highest peak.
Overall, spinal adjustments and manipulations are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level without any discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it becomes able to respond and perform as it was built to do.
