Our Acupuncture Treatments

  • Sports Acupuncture

    Sports Acupuncture

    Sports, or orthopedic acupuncture, is an acupuncture speciality within the realm of TCM. We utilize orthopedic or dry needling techniques in combination with traditional Chinese meridian acupuncture and neuro-acupuncture approaches for chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions, sports or overuse injuries, nerve impingement, complications from motor vehicle accidents, muscle sprains, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and the list goes on.

  • Dry Needling

    Dry needling is orthopedic acupuncture and is very effective at resolving myofascial pain and preventing and speeding recovery from injuries. Acupuncture needles are used to release trigger points or knots in muscles that develop with overuse, repetitive motion or injuries. This technique is very effective in reducing pain, improving muscle strength, condition and performance. There will be some sensation with this procedure, but most people say the benefits far outweigh any discomfort felt during treatment. I always work with the patient and adjust my technique to ensure you are most comfortable during the treatment.

  • Micro Current Therapy

    Micro Current Therapy

    Frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) therapy is a non-invasive (no needles) technique utilizing low level electrical microcurrent (one millionth of an ampere). Specific frequencies are used depending on the condition and tissue effected to reduce inflammation, repair tissue and reduce pain. FSM is used to treat nerve pain, muscle pain, inflammation, scar tissue, sports injuries, shingles, fibromyalgia, arthritis, IBS, bone fractures, and more. FSM is non-invasive and virtually painless.
