Dry Needling
RELEASING DEEP TENSION TO RESTORE MOTION
Though the name might sound intimidating, dry needling is a safe, minimally invasive technique for treating musculoskeletal pain. By using a thin needle to stimulate specific trigger points, dry needling helps relieve pain, improve movement, and reduce nerve sensitivity.
​
Think of a trigger point as a stubborn knot in your muscle that refuses to release. It doesn’t just hurt where it lives — it can send pain radiating to completely different parts of your body. The constant tension squeezes nearby nerves and blood vessels, and keeps feeding pain signals to your brain, which only amplifies the problem over time. With the use of dry needling, we can treat muscle tissue with the goal to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points, and restore function.

Dry Needling has been shown to benefit the following:

Massage Therapy
RELAX. REJUVINATE. RESTORE.
In massage therapy, a trained, certified medical professional (massage therapist) manipulates the soft tissues of your body — muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin. The term 'massage therapy’ is used to describe a wide variety of techniques that vary in the manner in which touch, pressure and the intensity of the treatments is applied. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.
​​​
Massage benefits can include:
-
Reducing stress and increasing relaxation
-
Reducing pain and muscle soreness and tension
-
Improving circulation, energy and alertness
-
Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
-
May boost immune system
-
Help with fibromyalgia pain
-
Reduced anxiety and depression​​
Prenatal Massages
SUPPORT YOUR CHANGING BODY.
Prenatal massages are adapted for the anatomical changes you go through during pregnancy. As your shape and posture changes, a trained massage therapist will make accommodations with special cushioning systems that allow you to lie face down safely, all while providing room for your growing belly and breasts. Or you might lie on your side with the support of pillows and cushions. This non-invasive and gentle form of therapeutic bodywork can also ease the discomforts of pregnancy while nurturing the emotional needs of the pregnant mother and helping her get ready for labor and delivery.
Craniosacral Therapy
WHERE LIGHT TOUCH CREATES DEEP CHANGE.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that uses light touch to support the body’s natural balance by working with the cranial system—the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain, spinal cord, and skull. By addressing imbalances in these delicate tissues, CST helps normalize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, reduce stress, and relieve chronic pain.
​
Practitioners apply very light pressure—no more than the weight of a nickel—to release tension in the connective tissues (fascia). By restoring balance in the nervous system, CST can help release restrictions and support your body’s own ability to heal and restore harmony.
Here are some of the main things we support with craniosacral therapy:
​​​
-
Chronic pain patterns like neck pain, back pain, sciatica, and general muscle tension.
-
Headaches, migraines, and lingering symptoms from concussions or head injuries.
-
Nervous system stress—things like anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue, and emotional tension.
-
Jaw and head-related issues such as TMJ, sinus pressure, and even vertigo.
-
Support for kids and infants with things like colic, ADHD, and learning challenges.
​
It’s a really gentle approach, but it can make a big impact on how the body feels and functions overall.
Cupping
UNLOCK YOUR FASCIA
Cupping (a.k.a. myofascial decompression) is a safe, traditional treatment that helps resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain by creating negative pressure underneath the cup, therefore lifting multiple layers of skin and fascia. This suction of tissue creates space for underlying tight muscles to lay down and relax, as well as brings blood flow and healing nutrients to the area. The basic philosophy behind this ancient alternative healing practice is “to strengthen or activate the body’s natural self-healing powers, at times when they are not able to do so, on their own.” Cupping increases blood flow and enables your body to dispose of toxins, restores lymphatic circulation, and helps remove edema or swelling.
It’s becoming more common for people to request cupping to relieve chronic muscle soreness & pain. Add cupping into your massage or chiropractic session for increased benefits!
Benefits of cupping include:
​
-
Increases circulation
-
Encourages tissues to release toxins
-
Improve fibromyalgia pains
-
Reduces anxiety
-
Reduce stretch marks and scars
-
Improve varicose veins and spider veins
-
Headaches/Migraines
-
Musculoskeletal pain
-
Clear congestion and help treat asthma
IASTM: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
BREAK DOWN SCAR TISSUE & RELEASE TENSION
Add IASTM therapy into your massage or chiropractic session for increased benefits like below:
​
-
Faster injury rehabilitation/ recovery time
-
Resolving chronic conditions
-
Medial/Lateral epicondylitis (Golfer's/Tennis Elbow)
-
Patellofemoral disorders (Knee pain)
-
Cervical sprain/strains (Neck Pain)
-
Lumbar sprain/ strains (Back Pain)
-
Shin Splints
-
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
-
Trigger Finger
-
Achilles Tendonitis
-
Plantar Fasciitis
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques are used with the goal of reducing the patient's pain and increasing function of the area by breaking down scar tissue adhesions and fascia restrictions. The reduction of restrictions is accomplished by stretching the connective tissue in an attempt to rearrange the structure of the soft tissue being treated: muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments. The scraping technique promotes an overall better healing environment for the damaged tissues due to collagen stimulation and by producing an inflammatory process to promote healing and recovery. Literature also suggests that there are neurological benefits of IASTM therapy, as certain nerve fibers are activated and mechanoreceptors + proprioceptors respond to the treatment.
