Below are some of the techniques that may be part of your healing experience at Heritage Acupuncture:
Acupuncture
The use of sterile, disposable, hair-thin needles that allow the body to naturally and gently relieve pain and correct health imbalances. Many patients feel deeply relaxed during treatment.
Electro-Acupuncture
Needles are attached to a battery-powered device sending a mild micro-current to acupuncture points. This technique is frequently used for pain relief.
Gua Sha
This technique involves cutaneous stimulation with a round-edged instrument. Gua Sha helps to improve circulation and to relieve chronic pain, stiffness and chest congestion.
Moxibustion
The burning of prepared mugwort leaves, which are held over specific acupuncture points or areas of the body to promote warmth, circulation, and general vitality.
Cupping
The application of suction cups, typically used on the upper back, to relieve muscle tension, clear chest congestion and expel pathogens.
Chinese Nutritional Evaluation
Your individual symptoms and general health are taken into consideration to devise customized dietary recommendations for the alleviation of symptoms and enhancement of general health.
Postural Evaluation
A look at the alignment of your major joints, along with the position of the spine, pelvis and other observations to understand the root cause of pain.
Customized Stretching
Recommendations based on the results of your postural evaluation.
