CUPPING

Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.

DRY NEEDLING

During and acupuncture session, needles are inserted into points in the body along what is known as meridian lines.  Based on ancient Chinese medicine, these lines represent the body organs and functions.  Dry needling treatment was developed in the 1980’s more associated with modern Western medicine where needles are inserted into trigger points or band of muscle tissue that are taught and tender.  When the needles are inserted into the trigger points they cause a response to release the trigger point which allows normal function of the muscle and tissues.
