Along with acupressure or acupuncture needle treatments, your personalized plan may incorporate any of the following therapies during your sessions to support and enhance your recovery:
This treatment uses an herb called Mugwort. It may be burned on the needle's handle, above the skin, on salt, or a slice of ginger. This is used to “warm” acupuncture points to quicken the healing process. Many acupuncturists also commonly perform moxibustion with warming pads.
Also referred to as "Electro-Stim" or "E-Stim," this technique is where a low-level electrical current is applied to the acupuncture needles located at various points on the body. This is done to further stimulate the body’s qi and healing processes.
This therapy is used for sore muscles, tension, neck pain, and the common cold. In this therapy, Family Wellness Acupuncture will place small glass or plastic “cups” over specific areas on your body. A vacuum is created under the cup using heat or suction. The team may move the cup over an affected area or leave it in place. You may leave the office looking as though a large octopus gave you a big hug. There is no need for alarm. The slight redness will dissipate.
Herbal remedies have been around for centuries, long before modern medicine. They are used to heal illness and address psychological concerns. Herbal medicine can treat conditions such as asthma, eczema, premenstrual syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, menopausal symptoms, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.
