Acupuncture & Bodywork
I combine acupuncture, dry needling, electroacupuncture, and manual therapy to create a personalized treatment plan that promotes pain relief, injury recovery, and better movement.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture works by stimulating points on the body, triggering the release of endorphins and serotonin to reduce pain and improve mood. It may also reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and activate areas of the central nervous system to aid in healing and pain relief.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to release tight muscles and trigger points, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, restore function, and speed recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and chronic muscle tension
Electro-acupuncture
Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with gentle electrical stimulation to enhance pain relief and healing. It helps reduce pain, improve circulation, relax muscles, stimulate nerves, and support recovery from injuries, chronic pain, and nerve-related conditions.
Active Cupping
Active cupping combines gentle suction with guided movement to decompress soft tissues, improve the slide and glide of muscles and fascia, and enhance circulation and fluid exchange. This helps reduce restrictions, improve mobility, and support recovery from pain and injury.
Scraping/Graston/Gua Sha
Using specialized tools, scraping techniques like Gua Sha and Graston are employed to break down scar tissue, fascia restrictions, and muscle knots. This helps to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore movement, often used for chronic pain and mobility issues.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy includes deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, all of which target muscle tension, joint stiffness, and restricted movement. These hands-on techniques help to enhance flexibility, ease discomfort, and support faster recovery from injuries.
