Acupuncture

Acupuncture as physical therapy is a new approach to orthopedic injuries and stress related diseases which combines traditional oriental acupuncture practice with knowledge of western anatomy and physiology.

Evaluation of problem areas is performed from a western perspective to identify specific structures such as tendons, ligaments, and myofascial trigger points, which are the sources of pain. Acupuncture is then performed in order to alleviate symptoms arising from the affected structures. Underlying energy “deficiencies” in the acupuncture meridians are also noted and treated in order to restore the body to energetic balance. Treating underlying deficiencies and releasing blockages helps promote healing and prevent the reoccurance of injury.

Massage Therapy

Massage is a popular therapy used to relieve muscle tension, spasms, inflammation, fluid retention, aches, stiffness, and pain. Other benefits include improved circulation (blood and lymph), general flexibility, range of motion, and increased tissue elasticity (e.g. scar tissue).
