Each treatment is tailored specifically to your needs. Lijia will discuss your concerns and what you would like to get out of treatment. The following techniques may be utilized in combination with acupuncture to support your needs and achieve your wellness goals:
Myofascial Trigger Point Dry Needling: The release of chronic or acute musculature with acupuncture needles.
Cupping: A cup is placed on the skin and suction is applied to promote free flow of the body’s naturally occurring blood and lymph systems.
Gua Sha: Similar to cupping, smooth tools are used to stroke the skin in order to clear blockages and promote free flow of the body’s naturally occurring healing systems.
Electrical Stimulation: Gentle, pulsating electrical current added to acupuncture needles to increase stimulation or release tense musculature.
Moxibustion: The warming of acupuncture points with a dried medicinal herb, usually mugwort (artemesia).Moxibustion is usually applied to a needle or indirectly over the skin until a warming sensation is felt.
Herbs/Herbal Medicine: Plants (roots, rhizomes, twigs, bark, leaves, seeds, skin, flowers), animals/animal parts and minerals are used singly or most commonly in formulas to treat a condition. A typical formula consists of six to 12 herbs which create a balanced formula to reduce the possibility of side effects. Although historically herbs were to be cooked at home and taken like a tea or soup, now they are available pre-made in capsules, tablets, liquid extracts or powders that can be dissolved in hot water.
