Acupuncture can be useful in helping to treat neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, reproductive and gynecological conditions, mental emotional problems, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disorders, circulatory disorder, and many more. 


Electro Acupuncture

Electroacpuncture is a form of acupuncture in which a small amount of electric current is ran between the acupuncture needles via tiny clips.  This can increase the efficacy of the treatment.  The electroacupuncture creates a small vibration similar to what it would feel like if the practioner was stimulating the needles by hand and can be used as a technique to more quickly improve both acute and chronic conditions.


Class IV Laser Therapy

If you have chronic or acute pain caused by disease or injury, Deep Tissue Laser Therapy could eliminate your pain and substantially improve your healing process. Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy offers advanced pain relief and promotes rapid healing through a process known as photobiostimulation, where tissues absorb light energy. Laser therapy is ideal for enhanced relief of neck, lower back, wrist, knee, elbow and joint pain, muscle spasms, foot and ankle pain, inflammation and muscle tears, post-operative recovery, scar tissue, and sports injuries.


Neurological Acupuncture

Neurological Acupuncture is a specific type of acupuncture focused on treating acupuncture points located on the scalp to influence circulation and healing to specific cranial nerves and parts of the brain.  It helps to reconnect the Central Nervous system to your peripheral nervous system and help them work together.   This type of acupuncture can help to speed up the healing of concussions, stroke, spinal cord injuries, bell's palsy, anxiety, depression, tinnitus, apraxia, Menierre's disease, vertigo and many more conditions.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine has been used for thousand of years to naturally treat conditions systemically through the entire body.   I only use herbal medicines that are GMP certified (Good Manufactuers Process), which means there are no heavy metals, fillers or aditives in it.   The herbal medicine I prescribe has NPN number from the Canadian Government certifying that the medicine is a safe product to use.    Herbal Medicine can be used to treat everything from viral infections and the common cold to long term and chronic conditions.  


Cupping

Cupping is a treatment that uses glass cups with a heat source or silicone cups.  The cups both detoxify the body and bring circulation to stubborn muscle problems to promote healing.  The act of cupping widens the blood vessels, and promotes circulation.   Cupping can also be used to move and stretch the fascial tissues and can be great to relieve pain in chronic IT bands in runners and tight muscles that are being stubborn or overworked.  It can be useful for helping treat stubborn cellutlite.   Cupping is something I like to use to promote fertility treatments.  Cupping helps to promote circulation to the uterus or in people with late menstrual cycles.  


Ear Seeds

Ear seeds or press needles can be used to directly have a connection between your brain and nervous system.  It can help to reinforce treatments in breaking strong patterns.  Ear needles can help assist in creating better sleep, breaking addicitons ie. quitting smoking or drinking, it can help with headache prevention and overall stress reduction.
