Massage Therapy

Massage is the treatment and practice of manipulation of the soft body tissues with physical, functional, i.e. mechanical, medical/therapeutic, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals.  Massage involves acting on and manipulating the patient's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, and/or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet. There are over eighty different massage modalities.

Acupuncture

 Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body with the aim of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes.   According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow.  

Physical Therapy

 Physical therapy provides services to individuals and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors. Functional movement is central to what it means to be healthy.

Orthopedic / Neurosurgeon Consultation

Unfortunately for some, the complexity and severity of their condition may not respond to our initial conservative treatment methods.  Our team has an orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon available for a consultation and examination.  Their surgical tecniques for disc herniations are minimally invasive and are performed in same day surgical care facilities.  The clinical outcomes for this type of minimally invasive spine surgery is very promising.  Please speak to me directly about this type of procedure if you have any questions or think you might be a candidate.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being.  Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
