​
In the relaxed and peaceful environment of our healing arts center we provide hands-on therapies and movement practices to assist your healing and relaxation process. Therapies including chiropractic, acupuncture, cranial facial release and various massage styles, are all tailored and administered to your specific needs, whether recovering from injury, dealing with pain or de-stressing after a challenging day. In the absence of trauma, pain occurs when the body is unable to adapt to the challenges imposed on it, be it physical or emotional. Though hands-on treatment may be very effective in controlling and reducing pain, ideally, treatment should be given prior to the occurrence of pain eliminating undue suffering. Wellness visits allow for more freedom of activity with less emotional and physical pain and stress, and also help to strengthen the immune system.
​
Our therapeutic philosophy blends classical and modern disciplines of Eastern and Western origins tailored to the underlying issues of each individual. Your needs are optimally addressed through the experience of each practitioner in concert with the resources of the group. Whether you are dealing with a new injury, chronic pain or you require a new way to manage the many demands of life, our objective is to build long-term relationships based on your wellness goals.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is best known for its effectiveness in treating back and neck pain, but it can also have positive and balancing effects on a much wider variety of problems. The nervous system is the main pathway to the whole body’s ability to function, and chiropractic works with all of the nerves as well as the muscles and bones in the body to provide comfort and restore balance to the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Chiropractic can have positive effects on organ systems and hormone balance, can relieve discomfort associated with strains, sprains, headaches, carpal and tarsal tunnel syndromes, sciatica, and general body aches, pains and stiffness.

Cranial Facial Release (CFR)
Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal “balloon assisted” cranial adjusting technique that has been used quite successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders. To understand how CFR works it is important to realize that the skull is not one solid bone. It is made up of 22 individual bones that actually move every time you breathe - or at least they're supposed to. CFR's objective is to mobilize the bones in the face and cranium and to open up the breathing passageways with the purpose of mobilizing the cranial bones and facilitating normal cranial function. It is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose then quickly inflating them to mobilize the bones of the face and cranium. It feels very similar to having water shoot up your nose and the procedure takes about to 2 to 3 seconds. The treatment consists of 4-5 treatments ideally done over a 7-10 day period. Conditions that respond favorably to CFR include:
Breating Disorders
Sinus Conditions
Snoring
Sleep Apnea
Migraine Headaches
Head Trauma
Post Concussion Syndrome
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Facial Paralysis
Bell's Palsy
Tinnitus
Vertigo
Seizures
Strokes
Insomnia
TMJ Disorders
Learning Disorders
Attention Deficit Disorders
Neurologica Disorders
Emotional Disorders
Hearing Impairments
Vision, Stigmatism
Glaucoma
Autism
Depression
Neurosis
Epilepsy
Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Multiple Sclerosis
Muscular Dystrophy
Parkinson's Tremors
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used since the third century to promote health and alleviate pain. It continues to thrive as a healing art because it addresses a wide range of ailments and disorders, and in recent years scientific studies have shown the same results people have observed for centuries. Acupuncture beneficially stimulates a number of influential bodily functions -- primarily the nervous system, the immune system, and the endocrine system. Using ultra-thin needles, painlessly inserted into specific acupuncture points, we are balancing the ancient meridian system and promoting overall health. During your initial treatment we will review your whole health history, and devise a treatment plan that includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, and movement. (Back to Top)
Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure that uses many small needles that repeatedly prick the skin in order to generate new collagen for smoother, firmer, more toned skin tissue. Plump and tighten naturally! These treatments will decrease wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, sagging skin, and stretch marks. Primarily used on the face and neck, but may be used to treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores almost anywhere on the body.
For best results we highly recommend a series of 6 sessions. Most patients begin to see results within 10 days after the first session. Long term, results can last 3-5 years, though we recommend twice annual maintenance sessions.
​
Why choose this over any other facial tightening, toning, or lifting procedure?
-
Minimal risk, minimal side effects, non-toxic. Microneedling is the safest option compared to standard facial rejuvenation techniques.
-
Full Body treatments. Every treatment includes points to address your overall health, and any underlying causes that may be affecting your face.
-
Decreased long-term expenses. After your initial series of treatments, minimal maintenance is required.
-
Natural looking beauty. Some cosmetic procedures can leave people looking overdone and unnatural; too plump, too tight, and expressionless. Microneedling gives you a very natural final result.
Why would you want to see an acupuncturist for this over anyone else?
-
Holistic care. We are not just treating your face, but your entire self, inside and out.
-
We are experts. Licensed Acupuncturists spend over 3000 hours learning these techniques, and we are highly trained to be able to provide you the best care and consideration, as well as certified in Clean Needle Technique.
-

quality, herbal ingredients in all our serums. (Back to Top)
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Also known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, Cosmetic Acupuncture has been used historically in China as an essential beauty practice. It is a gentle, effective way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or expense of surgery and injections. Ultra-thin needles are inserted in the body and face, stimulating your innate healing processes, and increasing circulation and collagen production. Gentle facial cupping and gua sha are also used to increase lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation and redness, and sculpt the face. This treatment can significantly reduce visible wrinkles, and helps prevent new wrinkles from forming, as well as plump lips, diminish scars, and help with facial muscle problems, particularly in patients who suffer from Bell’s Palsy, or post-stroke paralysis.

Cupping
Cupping Therapy is a technique that has been practiced in traditional medicine all over the world. Your practitioner uses cups to create a vacuum on the patient's skin with a strong suction. This action increases circulation and lymphatic flow, which is used to relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation. Cupping is frequently used on the back and shoulders for pain and musculoskeletal conditions, and can be used to treat respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis. Cupping is increasing in popularity in recent years - you’ve probably seen your favorite athlete with cupping marks! (Back to Top)
Assisted Table Stretching
​
Assisted Table Stretching is a one-on-one bodywork practice where a certified personal trainer and registered yoga teacher helps you stretch deeper and more effectively than you might on your own. A typical session includes Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), a technique that utilizes dynamic and static stretching to maximize the depth and benefits of each stretch. This treatment is for clients looking to improve mobility and reduce pain and tension; continuing care leads to more freedom of movement and a wider range of motion.
A session will begin with a discussion of goals and any areas of tension or discomfort that require attention, and stretches are tailored to the client's specific needs. The end result is improved flexibility and enhanced overall bodily movement. Afterward, you might feel more open, limber, and relaxed, with a deeper sense of mobility for everyday activities or athletic performance. Sessions are available in both one-off and package options which can be combined with both chiropractic and bodywork care. Call the office for details. (Back to Top)

Myofascial Release (MFR)
If you have ever tried to pull a loose thread back into a woven sweater, you know that brute force (otherwise known as contemporary physical therapy) will more than likely ruin your sweater rather than fix it. You have to be gentle and coax the thread back into place, often working with parts of the sweater that are not immediately related to the section that is broken. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)
MFR aims to realign, open and untangle restrictions in your fascial web through gentle sustained compression or elongation for restoration of motion and elimination of pain. It also allows the therapist to approach each patient differently, intuitively treating the person, not the condition, with a hands-on customized treatment. Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia. (Back to Top)

Pregnancy
Massage is a wonderful way to relieve the discomforts of pregnancy, relax and increase energy. It increases circulation, bringing energy-producing nutrients to cells and carrying away metabolic waste products that can cause listlessness. It also can reduce excess fluid retention.
Massage can help prepare for the birthing process in several ways. Regular massage to the lower back, abdomen and inner thighs can release chronic tension in these areas for minimal resistance during labor.
Postpartum massage reduces pain and stress from the delivery experience as well as enhances healing of the perineum or abdominal incision. It also can ease the physical and emotional demands of caring for a newborn. (Back to Top)
​
Scar Tissue Therapy
Whether a surgery is elective (Plastic surgery) or from an injury, scar tissue has an impact on the whole body. Scar tissue is like an ice berg (the majority of the scar is below the surface), and a spider web (scar tissue goes out like a spider web and pulls other tissues to it). The impact of scar tissue can be experienced at a location completely different from the actual incision. Scar Tissue Therapy releases the adhesions of the connective tissue on one side of the scar allowing the tissue to once again move freely. (Back to Top)
