Did you know? Today is World Sleep Day. An important habit that gets overlooked often is getting enough sleep each night. Sleep time is when your body heals and rejuvenates from the physical and emotional stressors of your day. Not getting enough sleep can raise your risk for a long list of health issues and negative consequences, including increased stress and anxiety, poor memory, hypertension, diabetes, and even weight gain. At BodaHealth, our goal is to help you achieve quality sleep naturally. Read on to learn about how our practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathic medicine, and massage therapists can work with you to identify the source of your sleep issues and provide safe, natural ways to promote good sleep.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! From Chewy and the rest of the BodaHealth team.

Let's talk about acupuncture! Studies have shown that acupuncture stimulates the brain to release chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins help relieve the body from different kinds of pain, one of the primary uses of acupuncture is for the relief of chronic and acute pain. Acupuncture is also known to help with fertility, autoimmune disease, digestive problems, skin conditions, anxiety, depression, and much more. At BodaHealth, we have a team of registered acupuncturists each educated and focused in unique areas of this practice. Learn more about our acupuncture services, and book a free consultation below.

Sound has the power to heal in so many ways... And at BodaHealth, we offer another way that the power of sound can be therapeutic: Shockwave Therapy! While it may sound a little scary... it's really not. Shockwave therapy is actually pulsed acoustic (sound) waves that are transmitted into an area to be treated. It consists of a high-pressure wave followed by negative pressure. Shockwave therapy works by speeding up the healing process because it stimulates your metabolism, br...eaks down scar tissue, and promotes circulation in the treated area to regenerate healthy tissue. It can help patients who have stubborn trigger points, muscles that won’t release, fascial adhesions, painful knots, tendinopathies, joint pain, osteoarthritis, and more. Learn all about shockwave therapy below.
