Our Specialized Acupuncture Approaches
Title | Purpose | Details |
|---|---|---|
Traditional Acupuncture | Nervous System, Pain, Healing & Immunity | Gently shifts you into the "Rest and Digest" state. It improves circulation, manages pain and eases inflammation, allowing your body to focus on repair rather than stress. |
Electro-Acupuncture | Nerve, Muscle & Connective Tissue | Uses a soft, pulsing current to improve nerve conduction and accelerate the repair of tendons and ligaments. It helps restore elasticity to "stuck" or immobile muscles. |
Tissue Regeneration | Fascia & Muscle Restoration | Creates intentional "micro-traumas" (similar to microneedling) to stimulate the body’s natural renewal process, clearing away old tension and building fresh, healthy tissue. |
My Modality Toolkit
Every session is an opportunity to listen to your body’s unique needs. To ensure you receive the most effective care possible, I draw from a wide range of specialized styles:
-
Orthopedic & Dry Needling: Highly effective for addressing structural injuries and specific muscle "trigger points" from the accident.
-
Japanese & Distal Acupuncture: Exceptionally gentle styles that often treat the area of pain by placing needles elsewhere on the body—perfect for when an injury is too sensitive for direct touch.
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): A time-tested, holistic approach that balances your body’s internal systems and overall energy.
-
Master Tung: A specialized system known for its profound and immediate effects on chronic or severe pain.
By blending these diverse techniques, we ensure that your treatment plan is as multifaceted and resilient as you are.
Why the "Rest and Digest" State Matters
When we are stuck in a state of high alert, our bodies are focused entirely on survival and protection. While that response is helpful in an emergency, it doesn't leave much room for repair.
By helping your body transition into a state of deep calm, acupuncture unlocks your natural ability to heal. It is in this quiet, grounded space that true restoration happens, allowing your body to shift its energy away from defense and toward renewal.
