Acupuncture

Acupuncture focuses on treating the root or cause of the symptom and on bringing the body back into harmony and balance. This eliminates unwanted ailments and diseases. Being in a state of health helps you thrive in the face of environmental, physical, emotional and mental stresses. Health is an inner resiliency that allows you to meet the demands of everyday life. When this balance is found the body’s natural self-healing abilities are activated, enabling internal stability and harmony to occur. Acupuncture effectively eliminates the blockages from the body and restores balance promoting overall health and vitality.

Bach used the healing power of plants to treat emotional problems in his patients. By intuiting the healing power of plants, he formulated Bach Flower Remedies, which is the basis for most modern flower essence systems.

Cupping

Glass cups are placed on the skin after the air has been removed from within. This creates a vacuum on the skin which brings circulation to an affected area which stimulates the flow of blood, balances and realigns the flow of qi, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body. Cupping is used primarily to treat certain types of pain, arthritis and respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and congestion. Although this technique does not hurt, the vacuum may cause small, circular bruises where the cups were applied. These bruises disappear within a few days of treatment.

Ear Candling

The small end of the cloth is inserted into the ear and the larger end of the cone is lit.  Heat from the top causes a rising column of herbal smoke that warms the pores of the ear canal, softens earwax, and soothes the eardrum while regulating ear pressure.  The vacuum pulls debris, fungus, bacteria and earwax into the cone.  There is no heat or pain involved, and users often describe a soothing sensation.

Electromagnetic Therapy

Uses broad frequency spectrum of positively stimulating pulses to create a healing response. Electromagnetic therapy promotes the increase of circulation to an area to allow better exchange of cellular debris, decrease inflammation, and increases tissue regeneration.

Ionic Footbath Detoxification

An ionic footbath helps the body eliminate toxins such as heavy metals, herbicides, insecticides, colorings, additives and preservatives that we acquire from water, food and air.  These toxins and chemicals get stored in the body’s joints as well as the organs, arteries, nerves and tissues, disrupting their ability to function that creates an environment for disease, allergies, and immune system dysfunction.   An ionic footbath cleanse draws these toxins out from the body enhancing the body’s immune system and the energy of the cells. The baths are also credited for balancing blood sugar, assists with weight loss, beautifying the skin, and overall rejuvenation.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. www.myofascialrelease.com 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.) – John Barnes

Percussor Therapy

The Erchonia VP3 percussor is a specific fascia-releasing tool designed to break up scar tissue and re-pattern muscle memory. This vibrating tool gets deep into the tissue. It targets adhesions or stubborn muscles to surrender old holding patterns, and creates a new and corrected way to hold the muscle or tissue. We understand that fascial restrictions are the root cause of many persistent misalignments of the spine, chronic pain syndromes, and scar tissue. There are unlimited uses for the percussor technique.

Reflexology

Although foot massage was a healing technique used in ancient China and Egypt, it was not until the early 1900s that American doctors first developed the idea that all parts of the body (including glands and organs) could be treated via pressing specific reflex points on the feet or hands.  By stimulating energy flow of the body from these pressure points, Reflexologists are then able to relieve stress, improve functioning of all systems of the body and encourage overall health.

Reiki

Reiki (ray-kee) is the Japanese word for “universal life energy.”  The Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for transmitting the universal healing energy through gently placing his or her hands in specific positions on or above the recipient’s body.  This system was developed in the 1800s by Master Usui, a monk living in Japan, and was first bought to the United States in the 1930s.  Reiki treatments are designed to relieve pain, bring deep relaxation and healing to the body, and aid in spiritual growth.

Soft Tissue Release

Unlike general relaxation massage, Soft Tissue Release focuses more specifically on muscular imbalance.  Practitioners apply pressure to a muscle at the same time that muscle is being stretched.  This technique is designed to engage the nervous system, encouraging it to reprogram muscle memory so that muscles return to their normal tone and length. In addition, this also has a correcting effect on other muscular imbalances. Soft tissue release is especially helpful for back problems, car accidents, repetitive strain injuries, and sports injuries.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound makes high frequency sound waves. These sound waves vibrate the tissue deep inside injured area. This creates heat that draws more blood into the tissues. The tissues then respond to healing nutrients brought in by the blood and the repair process begins. It is best used for soft tissue injuries like: muscle sprains, bursitis, and tendonitis.

Visceral Manipulation

Often used as an effective complement to other forms of medicine and bodywork, Visceral Manipulation focuses on the interrelationship of the internal organs to the body as a whole.  Practitioners follow a simple set of gentle procedures to free restrictions of the organs, thereby increasing health and vitality.
