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 the healing process.

​

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

 

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

​

 

 

 

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

and  normalize the body’s physiological functions.

 

 

 

Gua Sha is a scraping technique that lightly bruises the skin in order to release

unhealthy elements 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, 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, better results than stretching alone.
