Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of traditional Chinese Medicine. According to recent research, acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system, causing a release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These changes may induce the body to create a healing response and promote emotional and physical well being
My approach to acupuncture incorporates traditional based techniques and theories combined with modern scientific anatomy, physiology and diagnostic methods, including sports medicine.
During treatment I may use moxabustion (the application of heat), muscle release techniques, therapeutic massage and joint mobilizations or cupping, depending on the presenting condition.
I use painless techniques that enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
