Afraid of needles? Our needles are tiny compared to the hypodermic needles used for shots. We can use extra-tiny needles, so fear will not get in the way of reaping all the benefits acupuncture has to offer.
Pulse taking
is an important diagnostic tool in Chinese medicine. Taking the pulse helps us gain a deeper understanding of our patients’ symptoms, constitutions, and emotions.
Most of the time, patients lie down for needles.
Side needling
is done when patients have physical restrictions such as pregnancy or low back pain.
Seated needling
is another needling option when a patient cannot lie down.
Cupping therapy
creates a local suction on the skin to increase circulation in order to promote healing. Cupping is great for invigorating energy, relieving muscle tension, and supporting injury recovery.
Cupping
suction is made using heat (fire) or mechanical devices (hand pumps). It can leave temporary bruised marks on the skin, but the marks will disappear on their own.
Gua Sha
is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising. Gua Sha relieves heat & blood stagnation from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.
Gua Sha
close up. Gua Sha involves repeated pressured strokes over lubricated skin with a smooth edge.
Yin Tang
point needling. A lot of our patients tell us that this acupuncture point between the eyebrows is one of the most calming and relaxing points in their treatment.
