Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient practice combining acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, and diet therapy.
After a TCM diagnosis has been made, the practitioner will use small needles to manipulate acupuncture points in an attempt to guide the body back to homeostasis and regain smooth flow and circulation throughout the body. Acupuncture can be used to prevent or overcome illnesses of both mind and body.
TCM / Acupuncture services offered:
DRY NEEDLING
Refers to inserting a fine needle into a painfully contracted muscle to create a local twitch response. Active trigger points create local or referred pain in the body, Dry needling decreases muscle contraction, improves flexibility, and decreases pain.
CUPPING
Cupping is used to decrease pain and increase tissue mobility. Oxygen is removed from the cup to create soft tissue decompression. This promotes blood flow, oxygen and nutrient delivery, and cellular repair. Metabolic by-products can be eliminated, restoring circulation and lymphatic flow.

Electrical impulses can be added to inserted needles at different frequencies in order to modulate pain or improve muscular activation.
