Acupuncture
Experience renewal with this gentle, yet powerful therapy. Start with a health consultation followed by treatment in a serene, contemplative space.

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body — most often by inserting thin needles through the skin. It is one of the practices used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy uses plastic cups that are placed on areas of tightness. A pump is used to create a vacuum inside the cup which pulls the tight muscle into the cup and gives it a good stretch. This releases the tight muscle and increases circulation to the area and further relaxes the muscle. Cupping can loosen muscles, increase blood flow, and relax the nervous system. Cupping can be used to relieve back pain, neck pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, and migraines.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that is used to break down tight muscles, trigger points and sources of pain. With the use of an acupuncture needle, dry needling causes the muscle to contract slightly and then release, relieving the pain the trigger point was causing. The goal of dry needling is to relieve pain, and/ or improve range of motion.
Dry Needling may also treat:
-
Joint problems
-
Disk problems
-
Tendinitis
-
Migraine and tension-type headaches
-
Jaw and mouth problems (such as TMD)
-
Repetitive motion disorders (like carpal tunnel syndrome)
-
Spinal problems
-
Pelvic pain
-
Night cramps
-
Phantom pain
-
Post-herpetic neuralgia (pain left behind by shingles)
This place has something for everyone. I started going the minute I found out I was pregnant because I stand long hours on my feet. I knew if I didn’t address previous issues that I had experienced it would only get worse. I have worked with both doctor Josh and Sarah throughout my pregnancy. Good thing I did. They have helped me so much with my carpal tunnel syndrome and my sciatica which was caused by my pregnancy. They were very knowledgeable with both issues I was experiencing. They took the time to talk about what I could do at home to help and we scheduled just the right amount of appointments to keep the pain and numbness at bay. Now for the swelling…… every woman experiences this at some point in their pregnancy. I started acupuncture with Margaret Marsh. I originally went for my carpal tunnel and she did work wonders on that. I did not expect her to work miracles on my swelling. I did need to go once a week to keep the swelling down. All of the appointments were worth keeping me totally comfortable during my pregnancy.
