Acupuncture, Modalities Used

Deep Tissue Massage & Acupressure Therapy

Purpose: A foundational modality in our practice, deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Combined with acupressure, this hands-on therapy works on meridian lines and trigger points to release tension and restore balance.

Benefits:

  • Alleviates whiplash and muscular strain
  • Increases local and systemic blood circulation
  • Reduces deep nerve irritation and compression
  • Decreases muscular guarding and chronic holding patterns

This technique is especially effective when used to prepare the body for acupuncture or electro-acupuncture by relaxing overly tight areas and activating sluggish ones.

Orthopedic Acupuncture

Orthopedic Acupuncture integrates TCM with modern anatomical understanding. It focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues—joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles—using a blend of manual assessment and electro-acupuncture stimulation.

We use range of motion testing, palpation, and anatomical landmarks to target:

  • Joint dysfunctions
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Tendonitis and ligament pain
  • Chronic injuries

This is ideal for active individuals, athletes, or those recovering from injury.
