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.
New Patients for Acussage
For New Patients only
Acussage
Acussage is a unique treatment designed to bring the best of two styles of treatment together. During this treatment a patient will receive an acupuncture treatment with needles then a massage that may include stretching, deep tissue work, and manual Chinese medicine techniques. While doing massage or bodywork, the practitioner will be looking for general tight muscle patterns or blocked areas of the body. The practitioner may use moxa, e-stim and/or cupping to complete the body’s natural state of being.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a systems biology approach to identify and address the root cause of disease by acknowledging the complex interconnected web that is the human body.
Diet & lifestyle modifications are the foundation of the pyramid when it comes to treatment options. Meaning, food comes before any other therapeutic modality.
We use nutritional therapy to address any concerns you may have, combined with nutraceuticals and lab work. (lab fee's vary in price)
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.

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.
Anyone who has received an organ transplant.
People who suffer from seizure Disorders.
