Ear Acupuncture: Auriculotherapy is a clinically effective treatment modality

utilized for the relief of chronic pain and the alleviation of substance abuse. 

Detection of electrical conductance and tenderness palpation can reveal specific

auricular reflex points which can be stimulated to alter pathological reflex patterns

in  the brain, in internal organs, and in different peripheral regions of the

musculoskeletal body.

Moxibustion:   Moxibustion, also known as "moxa", is a heat application treatment 

on the acupuncture points using the herb called Mugwort. The application of moxa

is used to strengthen blood, stimulate the flow of energy or "Qi" and to maintain 

general well-being.

Cupping: Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which

a cup is applied   to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced

(by using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the skin

and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and  held in the cup. In

some cases, the cup may be moved while the suction of skin is active, causing a

regional pulling of the skin and muscle (the technique is called gliding  cupping).

Electro Acupuncture:  Electro-acupuncture, the application of a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles as a means of stimulating the acupoints, was

developed in China as an extension of hand manipulation of acupuncture needles

around 1934. The procedure for electro-acupuncture is to insert the acupuncture

needle as would normally be done, attain the qi reaction by hand manipulation, and

then attach an electrode to the needle to provide continued stimulation.  Especially

good results are expected from electro-acupuncture treatment of neurological diseases, including chronic pain, spasm, and paralysis.

Tui Na: Tui Na is an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been used in China for

2,000 years. Tui Na uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi

through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application

of massage and manipulation techniques Tui Na seeks to establish a more

harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the 

body to heal itself naturally.

Reiki: Thought to have originated thousands of years ago, Reiki (ray-key) is a

                       nonintrusive technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also                                     promotes healing of body, mind and spirit.  Reiki complements                                             medical treatments including acupressure and acupuncture.  It does

                       not conflict with any health care, but rather enhances the results and                                  facilitates benefits.

CranioSacral Therapy:  CST focuses on reducing tension and stress in the

meningeal membrane and its fascial connections to enhance the functioning of the

CranioSacral system, a fluid circulatory system that surrounds and protects the

brain and spinal cord. The use of subtle manipulation to the bones of the face,

head, vertebral column and the membranes beneath the skull allows free

movement by the cerebrospinal fluid and balances energy fields.  CST can treat a

wide array of ailments and imbalances.
