Acupuncture/Dry-Needling & Laser Therapy

Acupuncture/Dry-Needling

Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin, fine needles into the body to decrease pain and promote healing. By stimulating the acupuncture needles, either manually or through electrical stimulation, a neurological response is produced. This stimulation encourages the body to release higher levels of natural circulating painkillers (such as endorphins), helping to alleviate discomfort and support the body's natural healing processes.

​

Studies have shown that the effects of acupuncture can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being. Acupuncture also stimulates healing in the area where it is applied by increasing blood flow to the affected structures, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair.

​

This ancient practice is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including back pain and sciatica, neck pain and radiating pain, headaches, migraines, shoulder and knee pain, osteoarthritis, and even stress-related tension. Many patients also find acupuncture beneficial for improving sleep quality, boosting energy levels, and supporting overall relaxation. Whether you're managing chronic pain or seeking preventative care, acupuncture offers a natural and effective way to restore balance and enhance your health.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is an effective, non-invasive, drug-free pain management solution that has minimal side effects. It has been widely used for over 30 years to reduce pain, accelerate tissue repair, and promote overall healing. This advanced treatment is a safe and well-researched option for individuals seeking relief from both acute and chronic conditions.

​

Laser therapy works by exposing cells of the body to light, with specific wavelengths triggering photo-chemical reactions. These reactions stimulate the cells, encouraging them to produce more energy, which enhances cellular function and promotes faster recovery. This process improves the efficiency of the body’s natural healing capabilities, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring function.

​

The result is that the body can heal itself in a shorter period of time, making laser therapy an excellent option for conditions such as muscle strains, joint pain, arthritis, and sports injuries. Additionally, it can improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support long-term pain management, offering patients a gentle yet highly effective treatment alternative.
