Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. Acupuncture is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an acupuncture treatmentalternative to medications or even surgery. Relief is often obtained when traditional medical therapy has failed.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and tissues at specific points on the body. There is no injection of any substance and the treatment itself causes minimal discomfort.

How does it work?

Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called "endorphins." These chemicals mimic morphine by attaching to opiate receptor sites found throughout the nervous system. Endorphins help to block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the brain, resulting in relief of pain, general relaxation and biochemical restoration of the body's own internal regulation systems.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing abilities, reducing inflammation, and promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Does it hurt?

People experience differing sensations with acupuncture. Most patients feel only minimal discomfort as the needles are inserted. Some feel no pain at all. Once the needles are in place, there should be no significant discomfort.

Massage Therapy

Many of today's health problems arise from stress. Because stress upsets the delicate integral balance of all your body's functions, regaining this balance requires a holistic approach.

therepeutic massageMassage therapy not only treats those parts of you which are a problem, but also affects the whole of your metabolism through normalizing your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems and their interdependent functioning.

Massage therapy provides an alternative health option to help alleviate the soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain syndromes. It can also greatly reduce the development of painful muscular patterning if employed early enough after accidents involving trauma and injury.

 

What to expect at the clinic...

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to gain a therapeutic response. Soft tissue includes muscles, skin and connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and membranes. Swedish massage is currently the most common form of therapy practised; however, massage therapists may use a variety of therapies and techniques, depending on your needs and their specialties, including hydrotherapy (hot and cold packs, ice, baths, etc.), heat lamps and remedian and postural exercise recommendations.

On your first visit, you will be asked for a confidential medical history, which will help your therapist form your assessment and treatment plan. Massage therapy should take place in an atmosphere of safety and confidence. It is a partnership between you and your therapist, who will help you to understand the processes behind your pain and how you can work together to alleviate it. Your therapist will help you understand that ultimately your body has the capacity to heal itself, and will work with you to learn how you can become part of this process.
