Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses hair-thin, flexible needles, inserted into specific points on the body to activate the body's own healing powers. Learn More >

Dry Needling (IMS: Intramuscular Stimulation)

Dry needling is the use of needles for therapy of muscle pain, including pain related to myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling is sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS).

ElectroAcupuncture

Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. According to some acupuncturists, this practice augments the use of regular acupuncture, can restore health and well-being, and is particularly good for treating pain.

Tui Na (Acupressure Massage)

Based on the same Oriental medical principles as acupuncture, tui na seeks to improve the flow of qi through the meridian channels. Tui na is particularly effective for conditions involving muscles, tendons and joints, such as structural misalignment, orthopedic problems and sports injuries.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, external support that helps you remain active while recovering from injuries. Kinesio Tape creates neuromuscular feedback (called proprioception) that inhibits (relaxes) or facilitates stronger firing of muscles and tendons. This feedback creates support elements without the bulk and restriction commonly associated with wraps and heavy bracing. Kinesio Tape gives you confidence to perform your best.

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient technique, used in many cultures, in which a special cup is applied to the skin and held in place by suction. Cupping brings fresh blood to the area and helps improve circulation. In modern times, cups that use a small pump to create suction have also been introduced.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

A Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit is a device that generates electrical impulses sent through electrodes placed on the skin over nerve centers. The various pulses generated by TENS can block pain signals normally sent to the brain through nerve fibers, thereby interrupting the brain's awareness of pain. FDA approved TENS units are safe, non-invasive, drug free, and non-addictive.
