ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a highly effective system of medical care based on natural laws, which govern the movement of vital energy (also called “Qi”) in the body. This energy moves through the body in channels called meridians, supporting functions of the body, mind and spirit. When the Qi becomes imbalanced, physical and emotional symptoms can appear. The Acupuncturist identifies the underlying causes of symptoms, viewing them as pieces of the puzzle that represent a small portion of the whole person. The gentle insertions of very thin needles at Acupuncture points along the channels of energy help restore balance to the body, mind and spirit at a very deep and meaningful level. In the presence of this subtle yet profound intervention, symptoms often resolve and patients frequently report personal transformation that serves their continued growth and healing.

Sports Medicine Acupuncture ®

Sports injuries are some of the most common reasons that many people seek acupuncture treatment.  Acupuncture has been proven to help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with localized trauma and injury, and can also facilitate healing.  There are three key issues that an Certified Sports Medicine Acupuncturist considers, not only to help the body to heal from an existing injury, but also to prevent future strain and injury.  These include:  accurately assessing the posture and the alignment of legs, hips, back, shoulders and head; testing and treating muscles that are imbalanced (excessively weak or tight); and prescribing corrective exercises to achieve muscular balance and good body mechanics.

Women’s Health and Fertility

Women are born with unique biological gifts that require special care and attention. Energetic and hormonal imbalances in women, whether fostered by genetic makeup or lifestyle, often manifest in the reproductive system. From puberty through adulthood, and on through menopause, acupuncture optimizes the health of the reproductive system.

HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal Medicine is perhaps the oldest form of medicine used by all cultures. Jars with herbal residues have been found and are carbon-dated back to Neolithic times. Today, the World Health Organization estimates that 80% of the world’s population uses Herbal Medicine for part of their primary healthcare. Our modern word drug comes from the ancient word drugere, which means “dried herb”.

Herbal Medicines can be taken as tinctures, powders, capsules, teas and syrups. They can be used externally as salves, lotions, oils, poultices, compresses, and in baths.

REIKI & MASSAGE

Reiki

Reiki is an ancient system of healing that involves the laying of the hands to transmit healing energy to the body. Everything in the universe has its own unique energy vibration: people, plants, animals, the earth, the sun, etc. Reiki is a form of universal life force energy that can be used for healing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It is a very powerful, gentle, non-invasive technique that is safe for adults, children, and animals.

During a Reiki session the practitioner, acting as a conduit, transmits the Reiki energy to you by placing their hands in your energy field and in various positions on your body. There is no danger of receiving too much Reiki energy. The energy goes where it is needed. You are ultimately in control and the healing comes from within.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy has become an important part of general health care for many people today. Traditional healthcare systems throughout the world recognize that therapeutic massage can play an important role in treating illness or chronic ailments, and contribute to a higher sense of general well-being. 

The beneficial affects of Massage Therapy are abundant. NIH research has shown that massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, increases white blood cell and natural killer cell activity, relaxes muscles, decreases anxiety and respiratory rate, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins.

Massage can help:

    • Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
    • Increase joint and limb flexibility and range of motion
    • Improve ease of movement
    • Decrease tension and overall stress
    • Reduce  pain and swelling due to injury
    • Reduce scar tissue formation
    • Promote faster healing of soft tissue injury, such as pulled muscle or strained ligament
    • Increase mind/ body awareness
    • Reduce emotional and physical stress and anxiety
    • Promote deeper and easier breathing

ZERO BALANCING

Zero Balancing is a hands-on body-mind system of therapy that balances the relationship of energy and structure within the bones and tissues of the body. Zero Balancing integrates Western medical science with Eastern energy healing traditions to move energy and promote internal balance and harmony through the use of skilled touch and gentle acupressure on the joints and bones. A Zero Balancing session is done with the patient fully clothed and lying on a bodywork table. The session takes 30-40 minutes. 

Zero Balancing provides clients the possibility of health and healing at the deepest level of energy flow in the body – the skeletal system. By working with bone energy, Zero Balancing corrects imbalances providing relief from pain, anxiety and stress while facilitating a profound experience of wellness and integration. Aligning energy with structure enhances the body’s natural healing processes and supports optimum health. Many people initially seek Zero Balancing to relieve symptoms but continue receiving sessions as their quality of life improves.
