Cupping is a therapeutic practice that involves creating suction on the skin using a glass or plastic cup. Cupping can be applied stationary on dry skin or as sliding cups with an emollient that allows the cups to glide along the skin. We love to use cupping for pain and recovery of energy.
Cupping leaves temporary marks on the skin that can look like bruising. In cases of wet cupping, where lancets are used to puncture the skin along with cupping, the marks may be darker. The marks themselves typically do not hurt and will resolve within days of treatment.
Gua sha is a therapeutic technique in which the surface of the skin is stroked using a round-edged tool. This is typically performed along the neck and back, but can also be used on the arms, legs, and even the face
As the gua sha tool moves over the body, small capillaries may break and create bruise-like markings. These markings will diminish in the days following treatment. In Chinese medicine, we refer to those markings as "sha" or sand, as it resembles grains of sand coming to the surface of the skin.
Electro-acupuncture uses two needles in each meridian point, or acupuncture point, and then connects to a machine that passes a small electric current through the needle.
When you get electro-acupuncture, it activates your sympathetic nerve fibers. By activating these fibers, your body releases endogenous opioids such as endorphins, which help to reduce inflammation. The activated nerve fibers may also help to reduce feelings of persistent pain. This makes it a good treatment for chronic pain and stress.
FAR-infrared energy is absorbed very easily by the human body and helps in all aspects of bodily growth and development. The body has its own mechanism for producing FIR which stimulates healing and cellular repair. When the body is exposed to FAR-infrared rays our healing processes are stimulated and our body’s own repair responses are activated, restoring function and detoxifying. FAR-infrared thermal treatment detoxifies the body of heavy metals, pesticides and other toxins. Our treatment tables and therapy lamps are all FIR, using natural amethyst, full spectrum warmth and healing.
Acupuncture is one of the longest, sustained medical practices in the history of the world. It is over 5000 years old and is still thriving! The power of this medicine begins with the insertion of very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to therapeutically balance the patient's body, mind & feeling. It has proven to be a safe, reliable, drug free way to spark the body's natural healing response for many days after the treatment.
Acupuncture needles are sterile, single-use, stainless steel and are about the thickness of a shaft of human hair. When when placed into the a salty, bio-electric medium like the body, natural currents of electricity are created, amplifying energy and dispersing stasis.
When done correctly by a professional acupuncturist, most people find it does not hurt. Depending on your energy and the point being treated, you may or may not feel the insertion of the needle. In general, our patients are surprised how comfortable and deeply restorative each treatment is.
Needles are most commonly inserted into the arms, legs, back and often at the site of pain or focus. Depending on a person’s condition, acupuncture points are typically retained for about 20-30 minutes. After they are placed, we dim the lights, leave the room and let you relax into health on our far infrared heated therapy tables.
Acupuncture treats the body and not the disease, and as such is an effective healing tool for everything from the common cold to pain management to addiction. The World Health Organization has published an official report on the effectiveness of acupuncture based on evidence from clinical trials. This list includes conditions such as fibromyalgia, allergic rhinitis, headache, dysentery, blood pressure regulation, stroke, adverse affects in the treatment of oncology, and various types of pain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists acupuncture as an effective treatment tool for chronic diseases and pain in lieu of pharmaceutical interventions. Since acupuncture stimulates and guides the body’s innate healing response, it can be used for just about any thing the body experiences.
In this official report, Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials, the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed the following symptoms, diseases and conditions that have been shown through controlled trials to be treated effectively by acupuncture. Here is a short list of conditions.
