Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the use of very thin needles placed in different areas of the body to relieve pain, improve circulation, and regulate the nervous system. This works by stimulating sensory nerves in the body as well as releasing tight muscles and activating the immune system. Acupuncture can treat muscle and joint pain, headaches, anxiety, depression, digestive complaints, menstrual issues, and much more!
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a very effective form of pain management. It is soft tissue manipulation via a variety of techniques in order to reduce muscle tension and adhesions, improve mobility and decrease pain. Massage also aids with improving circulation and promotes deep relaxation.

and drug-free practice that safely and effectively helps relieve pain and improve the body’s overall function; uses various treatments depending on your needs, from manual ‘hands-on' adjustment techniques, soft tissue therapy, electrical therapy (TENS), exercise prescriptions and lifestyle modifications.

Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial stretch therapy (FST) is a kind of assisted stretching that’s done on a table. It focuses on the connective tissue system instead of isolated muscle treatments. Therapy begins at the joint capsule and progresses through levels of fascia, which is the thin layer of connective tissue that holds organs, blood vessels, and muscles in place. To break that down, fascial stretch therapy involves hands-on therapy between you and a therapist where the therapist manipulates your muscles to stretch your connective muscle tissue, rather than focusing on one muscle at a time. FST can be used to treat pain, improve mobility, improve posture and much more!
​
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative
medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping is an add on to a massage or acupuncture treatment (no extra charge).

Gua Sha
Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). According to the principles of TCM, your qi (pronounced “chi”), or energy, must flow throughout your body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant in certain areas, it’s believed that health problems can occur. An acupuncturist will use a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where there is inflammation or stagnant qi to help improve circulation and promote healing. Gua sha is an add on to an acupuncture appointment (no extra charge).
