Our clinic utilizes both traditional and bio-mechanical acupuncture approaches in order to help alleviate your musculoskeletal complaints. Traditional acupuncture uses the insertion of fine needles along meridians (natural channels in the body) to stimulate the balance and flow of Qi energy and Blood. This balance is considered essential for good health and the cause of illness in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Bio-mechanical approaches used in our office include intra-muscular stimulation(IMS) or dry needling, is the direct application of acupuncture to release trigger points and spasms in the muscles. IMS can often help accelerate recovery from numerous musculoskeletal conditions. Please call and see if acupuncture or IMS is right for you
