Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and best-known treatments within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture involves inserting ultra-thin needles into acupuncture points to promote health or treat illness; its aim is believed to be balancing out energy flow or Qi (pronounced “chee”).
Acupuncture has long been used to treat back and neck pain, digestive disorders and sleep issues as well as stress and emotional imbalances.
Neuropathy treatment often includes acupuncture in combination with other complementary therapies such as movement and breathing therapies and nutritional recommendations, or herbal medicine to promote healing and wellness. Neuropathy symptoms range in severity from mild tingling or numbness to painful burning sensations and trouble with balance; its causes could range from blood sugar imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, nerve compression or medication side effects – your acupuncturist will work with you to identify these root causes so they can address them and help alleviate symptoms.
Therapy Plus’ team of acupuncturists specialize in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture using the modern Balance Method, providing a clear framework for individualised care that results in long-term improvements for musculoskeletal conditions where muscle tension or spinal mechanics disrupt normal bodily processes. This approach offers lasting solutions.
Acupuncture has proven highly effective at treating chronic pain, such as headaches and abdominal discomfort, while also treating emotional imbalances like anxiety and depression. When used alongside other holistic therapies like massage and cupping, its efficacy increases significantly. Massage and cupping both stimulate the skin to promote blood circulation, reduce muscle tension and relieve pain. Moxibustion – which involves burning dried mugwort near specific acupuncture points to warm their meridians and enhance Qi flow – further combines these therapies. Acupuncture can treat a range of issues, ranging from emotional stress to hormonal imbalance. Acupuncture can assist women experiencing menstrual issues or menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats as well as combat insomnia by targeting its causes.
Massage
Massage has long been recognized as an ancient healing art form and modernized over time to become an effective form of pain management, stress reduction and overall wellness. Trained massage therapists employ gentle pressure on skin layers, muscles, tendons and ligaments ranging from light stroking to deep pressure; licensed Massage Therapists utilize light pressure techniques to manipulate them effectively.
Our massage therapists are also skilled in energy healing techniques that use gentle touch to balance energy flows and promote wellness. They can tune into your spiritual body and guide a meditation for emotional or spiritual challenges that need addressing.
Cranial sacral massage employs light touch to assess and gently release restrictions in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord, relieving any restrictions within its protective membranes or fluid. Cranial sacral massage has proven highly successful for relieving headaches, migraines, neck & back pain as well as stress-related disorders.
