Sports Medicine + Orthopedic Acupuncture can be a cornerstone in a recovery or training plan. It addresses muscle imbalances, scar tissue, fascial adhesions, and injury. Our practitioners are skilled in orthopedic assessment that can help identify root causes of pain and movement dysfunction and avoid future injuries.

Cupping therapy has been used for millennia by cultures around the world. It feels like a reverse massage, with a pulling sensation instead of pressure. Cupping increases blood flow, releases muscle tension, and breaks up fascial adhesions. We use it frequently on its own, or combined with acupuncture or massage therapy to treat persistent tightness and pain.

Gua Sha brings blood and lymph from deep in the tissue to the surface, delivering fresh oxygenated blood to muscle and fascial tissue & improving circulation. It is a particularly useful addition to acupuncture in treating back and neck pain, tension headaches, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff pain, and helping to release chronically stubborn areas.

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a powerful tool for addressing many conditions. This approach has been used for thousands of years for everything from the common cold to upset stomach to menstrual irregularities and can be a very supportive addition to any treatment plan.

In our community style sessions, you are treated in a group setting with up to four other folks while you rest comfortably in a reclining chair. This setting not only provides a more affordable style of treatment, making acupuncture available to a broader range of people, but also fosters a sense of community and collective well-being. Community acupuncture is especially effective for addressing issues like stress, chronic pain, and anxiety, as the group dynamic can enhance relaxation and the communal aspect fosters a sense of connection with others on a similar healing journey. 

Community acupuncture is offered on the third Monday of the month,10:00am-12:45pm, on a $20-$40 self-determined sliding scale. New Patient Appointments must be booked online. Follow-ups can be booked online (encouraged to secure your spot) or feel free to drop-in!

Our Clear Pointes Facial Treatment in an effective, multifaceted treatment designed to address conditions like headaches, allergies, jaw pain, and overall tension by targeting key areas of the face, head, and neck. The session typically begins with facial acupuncture, where fine needles are delicately placed at specific points that encourage tension relief, improve circulation, and alleviate discomfort. Facial cupping is used to enhance blood flow and reduce inflammation, working to ease sinus pressure or jaw tension associated with conditions like TMJ. Gentle gua sha, using a smooth tool, is performed to the face to release tight muscles and reduce facial tension. A soothing facial massage further helps to relax muscles, reduce congestion, and promote lymphatic drainage, which can address sinus issues or swelling. Together, these techniques work to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to the facial and head areas, providing relief for those suffering from headaches, allergies, jaw pain, or general body stress and tension.
