In contrast to traditional acupuncture, which typically focuses on stress reduction and improving blood circulation, orthopedic acupuncture targets specific areas of pain and discomfort in your bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues. By targeting these specific areas, it addresses the underlying causes of pain or performance issues.

Introducing a gentle electric current to select points on your body takes your treatments up a notch. This gentle stimulation prompts muscle contractions, gently coaxing tired muscles back to life, while also soothing inflammation and bolstering your body's natural healing processes. It's like a gentle massage for your muscles, helping them reset and restore.

Tradational acupuncture uses what we call “distal points” which are like secret helpers located away from your problem area. Found below your elbows and knees, on your ears, scalp, and abdomen, they team up with your nervous system, smoothing out stress, aiding digestion, balancing hormones, and boosting your immune system. Plus, they indirectly tackle pain, which is awesome if your pain tends to act up easily with direct orthopedic treatment approaches.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a gentle yet powerful treatment using focused light to kickstart your body's healing process. By enhancing cellular activity, it reduces inflammation, eases pain, and speeds up tissue repair, making it especially effective for acute injuries and post-surgical recovery.

Cupping uses suction to improve circulation, while Gua Sha involves gently scraping a rounded tool over the skin. Both techniques are effective for releasing tension and reducing pain, although they may result in temporary marks on the skin, which usually fade within a few days.

Various hands-on techniques like myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and visceral mobilization. These methods target different parts of your body to reduce tension and improve movement. Together, they help the whole body function better, promoting overall health and well-being.
