• Acupuncture

  • Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body to stimulate energy points

• Auricular (also known as ear acupuncture)

  • Auricular is the stimulation of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body

  • Some patients feel immediate results and others take several days to notice

• Diathermy

  • Diathermy helps to detox the affected areas with electromagnetic currents
  • It increases the blood flow to these areas to assist in the healing process

• Infrared Sauna

  • Because infrared rays can penetrate deeply into the skin, the muscles and internal organs are heated, and the body responds with a hypothalamic-induced increase in heart volume and rate.
  • This increases the blood flow to muscles, joints, and connective tissues which can help with healing and reduce pain in injuries, arthritis, muscle spasms, and much more
