Dry Needling
Dry needling is a modern, Western medicine–based technique where very thin filiform needles (similar to acupuncture needles) are inserted into muscle trigger points (tight, painful knots in muscle).
Called “dry” because no medication is injected.
How it works:
- Trigger Point Release: Needling directly stimulates the contracted muscle fibers, causing a brief twitch and then relaxation.
- Neuromodulation: It affects the nervous system, reducing pain signals from the brain and spinal cord.
- Improved Circulation: Micro-trauma from the needle improves blood flow and healing in the area.
- Chemical Reset: It decreases pain chemicals (like substance P) and increases endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers).
What it’s used for:
Muscle pain, tension headaches, sports injuries, joint stiffness, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Dry-needling: $85/20 min session
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture is a form of traditional acupuncture where a gentle electrical current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles.
How it works:
- Enhanced Stimulation: The electrical current continuously stimulates acupuncture points, stronger than manual needling alone.
- Pain Control: It promotes the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dynorphins, which modulate pain.
- Muscle and Nerve Activation: Can activate motor points, reduce spasms, and improve nerve conduction.
- Circulation & Healing: Improves local blood flow and tissue repair.
Frequency Matters:
- Low frequency (1–4 Hz) → good for chronic pain (endorphin release).
- High frequency (50–100 Hz) → better for acute pain and stimulating nerves.
What it’s used for:
Pain management, nerve injuries, arthritis, post-stroke recovery, muscle atrophy
Electro-Acupuncture: $85/20 min session
Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, safe, and effective way to restore normal motion and alignment to your spine and joints. When joints get “stuck” or misaligned, it can cause pain, stiffness, and stress on your nerves and muscles.
Benefits:
- Restores proper joint movement
- Reduces pressure on nerves
- Relaxes tight muscles
- Helps your body heal naturally
- Most people feel relief, better movement, and sometimes even improved energy or sleep after an adjustment.
Chiropractic adjustment: $65/a session
Cupping
Cupping is a gentle therapy where we use special cups with light suction on the skin.
Think of it like a reverse massage — instead of pressing down, the cups lift the skin and muscles upward.
This suction increases blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and helps your body flush out built-up waste products. That’s why it’s great for muscle pain, stiffness, stress, and circulation.
You may see round marks after the session — these aren’t bruises. They’re simply signs that blood and oxygen have been pulled to the surface to help healing. The marks usually fade within a few days.
Cupping: $20/10 min session
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
IASTM is a treatment that uses specialized tools to help your muscles, tendons, and ligaments heal and move better. These tools are usually made of stainless steel and are shaped to fit different areas of your body. The therapy is commonly used for conditions like:
- Muscle tightness or knots
- Tendonitis (like tennis elbow or Achilles tendon pain)
- Scar tissue from injuries or surgery
- Chronic pain from overuse
How does it work?
- Detection: The therapist glides the instrument over your skin to find areas of tension or scar tissue. You might feel a slight pulling or scratching sensation, which is normal.
- Stimulation: The instrument applies gentle pressure to the soft tissue, which:
- Breaks down scar tissue or adhesions
- Increases blood flow to the area
- Stimulates your body’s healing response
- Mobilization: As tissue becomes more flexible, your range of motion improves, pain decreases, and muscles move more efficiently.
- Reduces pain and stiffness
- Improves flexibility and range of motion
- Speeds up healing of soft tissue injuries
- Helps prevent future injuries
What does it feel like?
- You may feel mild discomfort or pressure, but it should not be sharp pain.
- Some people experience slight bruising or redness afterward, which usually goes away in a few days.
Benefits:
- Reduces pain and stiffness
- Improves flexibility and range of motion
- Speeds up healing of soft tissue injuries
- Helps prevent future injuries

Kinesiology Tape
Kinesiology tape (often called “KT tape”) is a special elastic tape that can be applied to the skin to help support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It’s different from regular athletic tape because it’s stretchy and flexible, allowing you to move freely while it works. KT tape is safe for most people and can be worn for several days.
How Does It Work?
- Supports muscles and joints: KT tape can help reduce strain on injured muscles or joints, giving them extra support during movement.
- Reduces pain: The tape lifts the skin slightly, which may reduce pressure on pain receptors and improve blood flow to the area. This can help relieve discomfort and promote faster recovery.
- Improves circulation and lymph flow: By lifting the skin, KT tape helps improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which can reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Enhances body awareness (proprioception): KT tape can help your brain “sense” the position of your muscles and joints better, which may improve movement and prevent further injury.
KT tape $10/session
Class 4 KLaser Therapy
Class 4 Laser Therapy is a type of treatment that uses a safe, high-powered laser light to help your body heal naturally. It is non-invasive, painless, and does not require medications or surgery.
How Does It Work?
- The laser emits specific light energy that penetrates deep into your tissues.
- This energy stimulates your cells to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
- It helps the body produce more ATP, which is like fuel for your cells, allowing damaged tissue to heal faster.
- It can relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed up recovery from injuries.
What does it feel like?
- You may feel mild discomfort or pressure, but it should not be sharp pain.
- Some people experience slight bruising or redness afterward, which usually goes away in a few days.
What Conditions Can It Help?
Class 4 Laser Therapy is often used for:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Arthritis
- Sports injuries
- Back and neck pain
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Post-surgery recovery

PEMF Therapy
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electromagnetic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. Think of it as “recharging” your cells so they work better and heal faster.
How It Works:
- Cellular Energy Boost: Every cell in your body has an electrical charge. PEMF therapy sends pulses that help your cells produce more energy, making them stronger and more efficient.
- Improves Circulation: It encourages blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to tissues while helping remove waste products.
- Reduces Inflammation: PEMF can calm down inflammation, which is often the source of pain and stiffness.
- Supports Healing: By boosting cell function and circulation, PEMF helps tissues repair faster—whether it’s muscles, joints, or bones.
What Patients Feel:
- Some people feel a gentle tingling or warmth in the treated area.
- Most patients feel relaxed afterward, and many notice reduced pain or stiffness over time.
Who Can Benefit:
- Chronic pain (like back, neck, or joint pain)
- Injuries and post-surgery recovery
- Inflammation-related conditions
- Fatigue or slow-healing tissues
Safety:
PEMF is safe, drug-free, and generally has no side effects. It’s a great complement to chiropractic, acupuncture, and other therapies.
PEMF therapy $40/10 min session
Shockwave Therapy
Focus Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target specific areas of pain in your muscles, tendons, or joints. It’s often used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendon injuries, chronic shoulder or knee pain, and other musculoskeletal issues.
How does it work?
- Targeted energy – The therapy delivers focused acoustic waves directly to the injured or painful area.
- Stimulates healing – These waves promote increased blood flowand cellular repair, helping your body heal naturally.
- Breaks down problem tissue – Shockwaves can help break down calcium deposits or scar tissue that may be causing pain.
- Reduces pain and inflammation – By stimulating your body’s repair mechanisms, the therapy helps reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
What can you expect?
- Usually, treatments take 5–10 minutes per area.
- Some patients feel slight tingling or mild discomfort, but most tolerate it well.
- Results may appear gradually over several weeks as the tissue heals.
Why it’s helpful:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Can reduce the need for pain medications
- Speeds up recovery for chronic injuries
Focus Shockwave therapy $85/4,000 pulses session
Spinal Decompression / Traction Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs. These discs act like cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. Over time, discs can get compressed due to injury, aging, or poor posture, which may lead to back pain, neck pain, or sciatica (pain radiating down the leg).
How Does It Work?
- During the therapy, you lie on a special table that gently stretches your spine.
- The table uses a controlled, motorized system to create a pulling force that slightly separates the vertebrae.
- This separation reduces pressure inside the discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and relieving pressure on nerves.
- The reduced pressure also encourages more blood flow and nutrient exchange to the discs, which helps with healing.
What Can Patients Expect?
- Sessions are usually painless and take about 20 minutes.
- Most patients feel a gentle stretch rather than pain.
- Many notice improvement in pain, tingling, or numbness after a series of treatments, often combined with exercises or chiropractic care.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy:
- Reduces back and neck pain
- Helps with herniated or bulging discs
- Improves mobility and function
- Non-invasive alternative to surgery
Spinal Decompression / Traction Therapy $75/20 min session
Sports And Injury Rehabilitation
Therastim, also called ARP Wave Therapy, is an advanced treatment that helps your body recover faster from injuries, relieve pain, and improve muscle and joint function. It’s commonly used for sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgery rehabilitation.
How It Works:
- Targeted Electrical Stimulation: The Therastim device sends gentle, high-frequency electrical signals to the injured area. These signals stimulate nerves, muscles, and tissues to accelerate the healing process.
- Pain Relief: The stimulation helps reduce pain almost immediately by interrupting pain signals and relaxing tight muscles.
- Improved Blood Flow and Healing: The therapy increases circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues. This helps muscles, ligaments, and tendons heal faster.
