Listed below are a number of the techniques employed at this clinic - you'll see it's range reaches much farther than simply acupuncture.

• Moxibustion is the stimulation of energy by the use of burning herbs. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture and is a powerful form of medicine for treating a wide range of diseases such as arthritis, energy deficiency, joint problems, tissue inflammation, chronic pains, lack of energy and general fatigue. Generally it is applied 1-3 inches above the skin. It is non- invasive and safe.
• Chinese Massage may be performed before Acupuncture treatments to promote circulation, assess muscular problems and help ease any anxiety. It also helps to enhance the healing power of Acupuncture.
• Acupressure is applied by itself or combined with Chinese Massage. Digital pressure stimulates pressure points to yield effects similar to that of Acupuncture. Since this is not as strong or invasive, it often appeals to first-time clients, children & anxious patients. Clients are taught to apply this at home.
• Acu-tapping is a newly designed therapy based on Acupuncture, Kinesiology, Energy fields, Psychology and Self-healing theories. It is a powerful and non-invasive technique that promotes psychological and physical healing. Clients practice at home in order to conquer illnesses, anxiety, fears, insomnia, pain, etc.
• Dermal Scrapping is an ancient Chinese healing technique used to treat muscle tension and Cold/Flu symptoms. Using oil and a special tool to scrape the skin surface at specific sites will de-congest tensed muscle, unblock congested "Qi", increase peripheral circulation, and return the Body's functions to normal.
• Hot/Cold Compresses - Many illnesses cause intense aches & pains. Patients are instructed to apply either hot or cold compresses, depending on their situation. The 'Wonderful egg' technique offers excellent results. For different techniques, please check http://www.holisticmasters.com.
• Cupping - When tissue is injured and becomes chronically inflamed, there is pain. Pain is a message that usually activates the Body's self-healing mechanisms, but the Body may ignore these pain messages. Cupping reactivates the Body's healing system by creating a strong stimulation via a vacuum within a glass cup. This may cause superficial redness or bruising, which is painless and will disappear in a few days. Cupping is also effective for fibromyalgia, muscle pain, whiplash, lower back pain, and flu-like symptoms.
• Qi-kung Therapy is a type of exercise that strengthens the "Qi" of our body. "Qi" is the internal life-energy that keeps us alive. When we have strong and balanced "Qi", all organs will be healthy, and the Body's cells remain healthy and active. This exercise is well known in preventative medicine. A Qi-kung practitioner can become a healer. Simple, easy to learn, Qi-kung exercises are sometimes taught to help patients maintain their flexibility and health.
• Exercise, Diet and Supplements - Stretching muscles and ligaments will help increase tissue strength, especially for clients with whiplash and lower back pain. Eating sensibly nourishes the Body's cells, and foods provide are energy sources. Some conditions limit the foods we intake, such as table salt in kidney and high blood pressure diseases. Antioxidant effects of a balanced, high quality vitamin and mineral supplement may help promote better health against "Free Radicals".
