We love treating kids! In our practice we cater to the needs of the specific child and also use non-insertive needling techniques that are extremely gentle and relaxing known as shonishin. Acupuncture can be used to address pain, allergies, coughs/colds, anxiety, digestive concerns and more as it works on recalibrating your own body so that it can function optimally ... Thanks for such a great introduction to our practice, Monica Leggatt!

Pleased to announce that I will now be offering a high grade system (Bioflex) of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)/ photobiomodulation treatments in my clinic (laser array and probe), which can be used as a stand alone procedure or in conjunction with your regular acupuncture sessions for common skin concerns as well as pain conditions including single or multiple joint pain, migraines, concussions, and sciatica. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. As a therapi...st trained in the use of laser acupuncture (we use laser array and probe) and also speaking from personal experience, this method is safe for adults and kids, non-invasive and works very well in conjunction with your regular treatment regimen. "The lasers used in LLLT are typically small (often handheld) units, and unlike surgical and aesthetic lasers, do not heat the targeted tissue. Instead, LLLT emits low levels of light that are absorbed by your mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles in many of your cells), which then can increase cellular energy production and ultimately help heal surrounding tissue. This process is comparable to plant photosynthesis, during which sunlight is absorbed by plants and converted to energy for the plants to grow. Healing Benefits of LLLT" "Low-level laser therapy may sometimes provide an effective alternative to surgery or medicationswithout accompanying side effects. It can help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and increase immunity, and research has shown its efficacy in treating many conditions, including": Plantar fasciitis Rheumatoid arthritis Temporomandibular joint disorder Exercise-induced muscle fatigue and injury prevention Skin conditions Traumatic brain injury Stroke - Valerie Sjoberg, L.Ac https://chopra.com//low-level-laser-therapy-healing-benefi

Cupping done right! Art of Acupuncture

With cupping being in the news as several US Olympians take their medals and cupping marks into the spotlight, thought I'd share some of my best acupuncture colleagues and their work! Thanks for representing, Jill Blakeway! #cupping

Great post by my colleague, Cara Frank, L.Ac of Six Fishes Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs & Massage on cupping!

Cupping for the win! This stuff is the bomb for tight, sore muscles. ***NB: While the beauty of this method is that it can be done by anyone with some training and common sense, if you find a licensed acupuncturist to do this, you are guaranteed a safe and effective treatment by a health professional who has spent many clinical hours trained to provide this particular modality of care.

Great post by a fellow acupuncturist, Eddie Vernon, L.Ac. "Have you tried acupuncture? This 2 minute video explains traditional acupuncture in modern scientific terms." Read more here: http://acupuncturefredericksburg.com/page/acupuncture/
