Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles at specific points on a patient's body to help facilitate the process of healing or provide symptomatic relief. Additional techniques include Microcurrent Point Stimulation applied to acupuncture points, and Electroacupuncture.
Acupuncture is known to treat or alleviate symptoms of a wide variety of illnesses and ailments such as but not limited to:
- Chronic and acute pain (injury, degenerative diseases, etc.)
- Neurological challenges (migraine, vertigo)
- Fertility (natural fertility, miscarriage, ART, IUI, IVF, labor induction)
- Gynecological challenges (amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, pms, pain)
- Digestive complaints (IBS , nausea, vomiting, constipation, etc.)
- Emotional disorders (anxiety and depression)
- Respiratory challenges (asthma and allergies)
- Improved energy
- General well being (stress management, common colds, influenza)
Now offering SAAT allergy treatments, including Alpha-gal
Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT), as it is known, is a simple technique using only one needle and requires only one treatment. This technique has proven to provide the strongest relief from alpha-gal allergy symptoms among all known acupuncture techniques.
Scar therapy
Acupuncture can be used to help improve the appearance of scars as well as improve mobility and lack of sensation around the scar. Acupuncture makes scars softer and more flexible by breaking up fibrous tissue and promoting energy flow. If you are in the process of healing from recent surgery, scar therapy using acupuncture can be utilized as a prophylactic against major scar tissue formation.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient Chinese treatment method used to drain excess fluids and toxins, stimulate the nervous system, boost the immune system, clear respiratory congestion, bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and loosen adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn "knots".

Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell). This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but at an enhanced rate.
Why choose laser therapy?
- Treatment is painless and easily applied
- Highly effective for various conditions
- Eliminates pain
- Reduces the need for pharmaceuticals
- Restores normal range of motion & physical function
- Non-Invasive & Non-Toxic
- No known adverse effects
- Provides alternative for patients who have tried other modalities
- Unlike many other treatments that mask pain or only address your symptoms, laser therapy treats the underlying condition to promote healing. This means that treatments are effective & long-lasting.
Positive Effects and Benefits of Laser Therapy
Anti-Inflammation
Laser therapy has an anti-edemic effect as it causes vasodilatation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
Anti-Pain (Analgesic)
Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to less inflammation, there is less edema and less pain.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products.
Improved Vascular Activity
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue.
Increased Metabolic Activity
Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
