How I Support You

Acupuncture Treatments

 
 

Is a system of integrative medicine that involves inserting very small needles into the skin or tissues. It’s used to alleviate pain and help with various physical, mental and emotional conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force known as Qi. It’s believed to flow through pathways or meridians in your body and by inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, your energy flow will be re-balanced and the body will heal and return to its healthy state. Western practitioners view acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. As a result of this stimulation, your body boosts natural painkillers and endorphins to alleviate pain and calm the nervous system.

What Is 5 Element Acupuncture?

5E Acupuncture treats the root cause of disease. If focuses on diagnosing a person’s causative factor or the element which is most aligned with a person’s emotional and physical orientation. The 5 elements are Wood, Water, Fire, Earth and Metal. Each represents an aspect of self and each has a role to play in health, growth and a fully lived life. They interact seamlessly in a healthy person, supporting and controlling each other. Stress or injury can disrupt the balance between the elements and symptoms result. 5 Element Acupuncture can restore balance and harmony, it can remove any blocks to the flow of energy and enhance well being on all levels. 5E is constitutional medicine, supporting a person at the deepest, most vulnerable level. But also the most healing, nourishing and supportive level as well.

Myofascial Release Treatment

 
 

Myofascial Release treatment is a form of bodywork that focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that supports all body tissues including muscle, bone, organs, blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic structures, and brain tissue. Over time and especailly with trauma, the fascia can become stuck and restricted, causing crushing pressure that results in pain, and altered function of the underlying tissue. Myofascial Release treatment involves applying gentle sustained pressure to the affected areas to release restriction and improve circulation, lymphatic flow, and nerve conduction, allowing the body to heal itself.

 
 

Benefits of Combining Myofascial Release and Acupuncture

Enhanced Pain Relief
When used together, myofascial release treatment and acupuncture can provide enhanced pain relief. Myofascial release treatment helps release restrictions and improve circulation in the affected areas, while acupuncture can stimulate the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms. Combining the two can lead to greater pain relief and faster healing.

Greater Mobility
Restricted fascia can limit mobility and cause discomfort, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. Myofascial release treatment allows the fascia to move and glide freely to improve mobility, while acupuncture will bring further attention to these areas to reduce any muscle guarding and lower inflammation, leading to improved movement.

Addresses Emotional Trauma and Supports the Nervous System
Both myofascial release treatment and acupuncture supports the body’s natural ability to regulate the nervous system, which can be dysregulated by trauma. MFT and Acupuncture can help release the stored emotions the body holds onto after trauma. By releasing this stored trauma, your nervous system can better regulate. This can induce a state of relaxation, less anxiety, improved sleep and reduced impact of past traumas.

Improved Circulation
Myofascial release treatment improves circulation in the affected areas by releasing restriction, while acupuncture stimulates the body to send blood flow to the affected area. Improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the affected areas, promoting healing, reducing inflammation and pain.

Improved Digestive Function
Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s hormonal and biochemical aspects of digestion that keep things running smoothly. Similarly, Myofascial Release treatment relieves restriction in the connective tissue of these organs and the way they interact with each other, This results in the organs operating optimally both biomechanically as well as biochemically. In this combined approach Myofascial Release treatment and Acupuncture can help to resolve symptoms of IBS, chronic constipation, indigestion, reflux and more.

Improved Reproductive Function
Just like how the organs of digestion can exhibit dysfunction due to restriction of the connective tissue, so too can the reproductive organs. When they are constricted physically, it can create issues with menstrual cycles, hormone balance and fertility in women. As well as difficulties with voiding and pain during sex in both men and women. Combined with Acupuncture which regulates the hormone pathways and blood flow to these organs, these two treatments together can help support reproductive function. Combining Myofascial Release treatment and acupuncture provides a holistic approach to healing, addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of the body. This approach can help to promote overall health and well-being, providing long-term benefits beyond pain relief.

Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises

 
 

TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist in the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this neurogenic shaking mechanism is activated in a sage and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. These reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. Afterwards people report feelings of peace and well being. TRE is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness.

 
 

What Makes It Unique

  • It’s a body based (somatic) process which, when done properly, can allow the individual to discharge tension from the body which often does not require “revisiting the story.”

  • It’s designed to be a self help tool that once learned, can be used as needed.

  • Can be taught as either a simple self help, tension reduction technique or can be used as an effective complementary practice when integrated with other treatment modalities 

  • Promotes cohesiveness and openness between participants and can be a helpful tool for dispute resolution.

  • It is safe and effective but should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery procedures of a medical or psychological nature.

Homeopathic Injections

 
 

This therapy encompasses both trigger point injections and intramuscular injections. Trigger point injections are used for pain relief. I stimulate and release painful areas by injecting homeopathics or vitamins into tender and tight areas. For a more systemic treatment, I use vitamin injections and homeopathics to maximize your results.

 
 

Why Injection Therapy?

  • Fast results. Reduced pain and correct nutrient deficiencies in a fraction of the time it takes oral supplements

  • Targeted medicine where your body needs it. There’s no need to wait for digestion and circulation to process and carry oral medications. 

  • Rapid Results. Reduce pain quickly, stop a cold from coming on and treat fine lines and wrinkles with fast results 

  • Micronutrient injections bypass digestion and the liver. Perfect for those who can’t take supplements

  • Long lasting effects
