New Patients for Acupuncture
For New Patients only.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a manual therapy that involves the insertion of thin, single-use pre-sterilized needles into specific locations of the body to achieve therapeutic results. Acupuncture activates the nervous system to release endorphins and opiates, increases blood circulation, and treats a variety of health conditions.
NAET (Allergy Elimination Technique)
NAET® was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in November of 1983. NAMBUDRIPAD Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET, are a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to alleviate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.
One allergen is treated at a time. If you are not severely immune deficient, you may need just one treatment to desensitize one allergen. A person with mild to moderate number of allergies may take about 15-20 office visits to desensitize 15-20 food and environmental allergens.
Basic essential nutrients are treated during the first few visits. Chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc. are treated after completing about fifteen basic essential nutrients. NAET can successfully alleviate adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, pathogens, heat, cold, other environmental agents if treated appropriately following the correct NAET treatment protocol. It may take several office visits to desensitize a severe allergen.

Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial release therapy is a gentle massage technique that treats pain and tightness in the body's myofascial tissues. It involves applying pressure to the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, to release trigger points and restrictions.
Here's what to expect during myofascial release therapy:
Trigger point identification: A therapist will locate trigger points, or knots, in the fascia.
Pressure application: The therapist will gently apply pressure to the trigger points until the tension releases.
Fascia release: The therapist will help release the fascia to increase mobility and decrease pain.
Myofascial release therapy can help with: Headaches, Neck pain, Face and TMJ pain, Numbness and tingling in the body, and Anxiety and depression, etc.
Myofascial release therapy can be combined with other physical therapy treatments to help patients return to their daily activities.
Facial Rejuvenation / Cosmetics
Facial rejuvenation is an all-natural, non-toxic modality that is used to help patients feel beautiful from the inside out. Facial rejuvenation is used to tighten and brighten the skin, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, enhance collagen production, and help you age radiantly.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is customized for each individual patient and carefully crafted to improve their current condition and help their body perform at its highest potential.

Sound Healing Vibro-Acoustic Therapy
If you suffer from acute pain from an injury, chronic pain, neurological issues, have suffered a stroke, are showing any signs of dementia or Alzheimer's or are dealing with progressive diseases like Parkinson’s Disease or COPD, vibroacoustic therapy can help.
This non-invasive, energy-based alternative health approach to wellness has been used for over 40 years to successfully treat clients who have suffered strokes, are dealing with the pain and stress of cancer treatments, have neurological issues or who are recovering from surgeries including knee and hip replacement.
Vibroacoustic therapy can be used in conjunction with any other therapy, whether it is Western allopathic medicine or alternative therapies.
Contraindications
Pacemakers-because there are magnets in the transducers
Recent surgery or open wound as VAT speeds up circulation and blood flow which aids in healing but if you have an open sore you want it to clot
Acute Inflammatory conditions
Hypotension
Deep Vein Thrombosis, DVT
Seizure Disorders
Caution with pregnancy
Specific frequencies are chosen to impact the area of concern for each client. For chronic conditions, the best long-term therapeutic benefits are often found in multiple sessions (up to 10 in some cases).
Detox Foot Spa Services
The Ion Cleanse Detox Machine is a high-tech water detoxification system that facilitates the body's ability to heal itself. It is a pleasure to use because of its simplicity and relaxing affect.
This machine is a water foot bath that utilizes both brass and stainless-steel electrodes, which clean, balance and enhances bio-energy, a vital force stored within the body and utilized by our cells.
While the Ion Cleanse Detox Machine is widely used to increase mental and physical energy, it also revitalizes, increases stamina while voiding the body of chemicals, pollution, radiation, synthetics, toxins, and numerous amounts of foreign substance trapped in layers of the skin, which, in face, either hinder or cause an inability to vacate the body. The machine's internal cleansing process includes parasite cleansing and liver detoxification that subsequently results in less fluid retention, reduction of inflammation, improved memory, improved bladder control, a more balanced pH, a stronger immune system and significant pain relief, inclusive of, but not limited to, arthritis, gout and headaches.
Reflexology teaches us that each foot is actually an outlet through which the body attempts to cleanse or rid itself of heavy metal and toxic waste built up in numerous areas of the body.
While using the Ion Cleanse Detox Machine, you will actually see the cleansing process as the water interacts with a compound electric current along with a magnetic field structure. Subsequently, this cleansing process attains the correct frequency required to restore cells to a healthy state, while releasing years of bonded waste.
The Ion Cleanse Detox Machine enhances the effects of other therapies. After a few sessions you will notice increased levels of energy, a better quality of sleep and improved mental clarity and alertness.
Not Recommended for:
People who have pacemakers-because there are magnets in the transducers.
