It's Not Voodoo, It's Science!
Acupuncture can have an effect on several systems of the body, including:
Many people experience a combination of symptoms, so you may receive a combination of therapies to most effectively treat your body and mind, such as:
Suction Cupping Cupping is form of therapy in which glass, plastic or silicone cups are applied on the skin and may be glided across areas of the body. Instead of pressing into the muscle, cupping gently pulls on the muscle, creating space between muscle fibers to allow blood and oxygen to flow through. This releases tension knots, relieves pain and stiffness, reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing. Cupping should not feel painful. Side effects may include skin discoloration, which should fade after a few days.
Gua Sha (similar to the Graston Technique)is performed with a smooth-edged tool in which the skin is stroked with light to medium pressure to release toxins, promote circulation and loosen tight or painful muscles. Skin may become red or discolored, which should fade shortly after treatment for up to a few days.
Electro-Acupuncture is a method of acupuncture in which acupuncture points are needled, and then a mild electrical charge at various therapeutic frequencies is added. Electro-acupuncture induces relaxation of the muscles, reduces inflammation, releases endorphins and relieves pain.
