Orthopedic acupuncture combines western knowledge of Orthopedic testing and acupuncture along with electro stimulation, heat therapy and cupping. Local trigger and motor points are stimulated in order to release inflammation and increase blood and nerve circulation. It is most useful when treating pain and serious injuries associated with your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. It addresses more significant structural problems or physical performance issues by blending modern Sports Medicine with the traditional techniques of classical Acupuncture.
Treatments are normally held on massage tables, in a dimly lit room as ambient music plays in the background. Clients undress to their level of comfort or need. Draping sheets are available to maximize privacy. Our acupuncturists may gently test your range of motion and strength in order to determine which muscle or muscle group is injured. They will also gently press around the painful area as well as adjacent areas in order to target specific points to maximize the treatments potential.
