Injuries and Pain

Get back to active, pain-free living with tools for healing.

Acupuncture is an effective tool when dealing with acute and chronic pain. Acupuncture increases circulation and releases pain relieving chemicals in the body. Direct needling of specific muscles and fascia causes postural changes in the body and this has a direct impact on pain.  Massage Therapy and Acupuncture are very effective when used together in the treatment of myofascial issues.
