Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of alternative medicine by the gentle insertion of a sterile needle on specific points of the body. This is used to promote the flow of Qi through the body. Acupuncture promotes the body's natural healing energy and improves functioning of the muscles and organs. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) restores the flow of energy and balances the organ systems. Chris can help you heal musculo-skeletal and systemic disease by first assessing your individual needs and then providing you with a blend of acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and Tui Na massage. Additionally, supplementation may be recommended. Read more
LED Light Therapy
Low Level Light Therapy or LED Light Therapy is one of the newest holistic treatments which combines state of the art technology with ancient healing methods. Essentially, a laser is used to stimulate acupuncture points using the same rules of point selection as needle acupuncture. Low Level Light Therapy may be used on its own or in combination with needles over a course of treatment.
How does it work?
Low Level Laser (Light) Therapy uses red and infrared light for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. When the light source is placed against the skin, the photons penetrate several centimetres and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of a cell. This promotes tissue repair and accelerates wound and tissue healing. This Low Level Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non toxic and often provides a treatment alternative for patients that have not responded to other therapies or may be uncomfortable with needles. LLLT has been successfully used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, headaches and dermatological conditions.
