Acupuncture
Rooted in ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is the practice of using fine needles at points on the body, to re-balance energy known as “qi.” Once inserted into the acupuncture points, the needles promote better circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance one’s immune system and strengthen the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Acupuncture can support the treatment of illnesses, pain, anxiety, depression, addiction, reproductive health, pre/post natal needs, oncology, hypertension, digestive disorders, fatigue syndromes, allergies, insomnia, and more. We also offer electro-acupuncture which is particularly good for treating chronic pain, muscle spasms, removing blood stasis, balancing nerve activity, and neurological issues. Holistic sports medicine commonly uses electro-acupuncture for injuries. Acupuncture supports the general flow, and wellbeing of the body and mind, healing you from the inside out.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic treatment is an alternative medicine approach to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Misalignment in the skeletal system can create an impingement at the nerve root, which leads to localized pain with stiffness, as well as tension headaches, digestive issues and can radiate abnormal sensations into the upper and lower limbs. Our Licensed professionals use manual therapy, stretching and spinal manipulation, to restore your body’s ability to heal itself.
Cupping
Recently made popular in the USA by Olympic Athletes showing off their cupping spots, this ancient therapy promotes blood circulation to ease pain and facilitate healing. Cupping helps relieve sore muscles, break up scar tissue, smooth connective tissue, reduce swelling and inflammation, reduce muscle knots, remove toxins from the body and promote relaxation. Like a deep tissue massage, cupping can even aid in the relief of fevers, colds and coughs!

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage has been used since the 1930s as a system of physiotherapy for general health, detoxification, treating diseases and rehabilitating injuries. Massages are known to improve blood and lymph circulation, promote relaxation, and release tissue in spasm. Massage therapy increases the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses. Regular lymph detoxification can benefit overall energy, decrease levels of cortisol and increase immunity. We even have specialized massages for pre and post natal needs.

Pilates
Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility, as well as muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation to put you in a deeply relaxed state and hypnotic trance, where the mind becomes highly focused and suggestibility increases. During this time positive suggestions and guided imagery are used to help you overcome a variety of concerns and issues, so that you can accomplish your goals. Hypnosis is the epitome of mind-body medicine and can be used to counter nausea, anxiety, pain, fear, phobias, traumas, anger management, addictions and other issues.

CranioSacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a form of alternative therapy that uses gentle touch to palpate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium to relieve compression in the head, neck, and back. This can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension. It can also help restore cranial mobility and ease restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves, removing “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal. It is helpful for TMJ, vertigo, headaches, scoliosis and post-concussion syndrome as well as other disorders.

Treatment can also assist with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic symptoms.
