Other Modalities

 

Electro-Acupuncture is the application of a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles as a means of stimulating the acupoints, which may enhance and speed up the healing process.

Cosmetic Acupuncture creates tiny "micro-traumas" to the tissue in order to stimulate the body's own natural production of collagen and elastin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles. As opposed to injecting synthetic fillers into the skin.

 

Cupping creates local suction on the skin in order to stimulate blood flow and dispel stagnation to promote healing. The suction is created by using heat (fire) or mechanical devices (hand pump).

 

 

 

Tui Na is a massage technique that is used to modify or prevent pain perception

and  normalize the body’s physiological functions. Just like a typical therapeutic massage. 

 


 

 

Gua Sha is a 'scraping' technique that may lightly bruise the skin in order to release

unhealthy elements/toxins from injured areas to stimulate blood flow and healing.

TDP Lamp (Infrared Heat) is used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, promote blood circulation, improve microcirculation, strengthen immunity against disease, improve metabolism, promote healthy cell growth, stimulate collagen and elastin, and MUCH more!

Manual Stretching I often use - Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, or, PNF stretching. It produces deeper stretches which increase flexibility and range of motion and tends to produce faster, longer lasting, and better results than typical stretching alone.
