Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles into specific points on the body (acupuncture points) to treat a variety of different conditions. Points are chosen based on traditional Chinese medical diagnoses.
Orthopaedic Acupuncture
Orthopaedic acupuncture utilizes modern medical knowledge as well as traditional Chinese knowledge. Orthopaedic acupuncture incorporates the use of motor points and trigger points in combination with traditional acupuncture points. Other therapeutic modalities, such as cupping therapy and PNF stretching, can be incorporated into the treatment protocols to increase the efficacy of the treatment.
Chinese Fire Cupping
Fire cupping is a therapy using glass cups that are attached to the body using a vacuum created by using the heat from a flame. Cupping is excellent at releasing myofascial tension that can cause pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility.
