Acupuncture

Once a diagnosis is made, 5-10 appropriate acupuncture points will be chosen from hundreds of points in your body for the treatment. The point prescription is chosen depending on your body type and the diagnosis. 

Electrical Acupuncture

If medically needed, Electro-acupuncture may be utilized where acupuncture needles are connected to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) which distributes an electrical impulse and which then uses a mild electrical current to provide pain and muscle spasms relief. The electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which help relieve pain and relax muscles. They may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.

Infrared Therapy.

Infrared therapy is frequently applied during acupuncture treatments to increase the effectiveness of acupuncture. Infrared creates heat, making you feel warm and comfortable. It also alleviates muscle injuries, helps pain & inflammation, improves skin health, and promotes better sleep.
