Acupuncture – Acupuncture is given once or twice a week during the initial stages of therapy and as the issues improve the treatments become less often till the healing is complete. Usually a series of 12 treatments given consecutively is recommended and then the issue is reevaluated to confirm that progress is being made.
Massage – Massage is used as an adjunct therapy when a particular issue needs it.
Cupping – Cupping is diagnostic as well as therapeutic and can tell us three basic things. Cupping will tell us three things – where the problem is, whether the issue is due to toxin, muscle or nerve, and the severity of the issue. An area slightly larger than the painful area is usually what is cupped to ensure that the area of pain is completely covered.
Herbs – Herbs are sometimes given to enhance the treatment and to support the healing process.
Stress Relief Clinic – The stress relief clinic is a more relaxed informal group treatment with no more than 10 others at the same time. Each patient sits in a comfortable chair while they receive a treatment. The stress clinic is only for established patients and is recommended to enhance healing or as a preventive measure for stress and to support well being. It lasts 1 hour with the needles left in for 30-40 minutes.
Micro-needling – Based on the 2,000-year-old Chinese Medical practice of moving the qi and blood and engendering the flesh, micro-needling is used for facial rejuvenation, wrinkles, swelling or sagging skin, age spots, scars and acne and hair loss. Micro-needling creates micro channels in the skin. When those channels are created, the skins own repair response is to start producing more collagen and elastin, this is to heal that controlled injury that was just created. That in turn makes our skin tighter and smoother, encourages healing and hair growth.
