Therapies

Acupuncture is the core treatment offered, where thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing. A session may include body acupuncture, cupping, ear acupuncture, and/or electrostimulation (estim), depending on individual needs. Scientific studies have shown that acupuncture can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being by balancing the body’s energy (Qi). It is widely used for conditions like migraines, chronic pain, and digestive issues, offering a holistic approach to wellness.

Cupping therapy involves placing suction cups on the skin to promote blood circulation and relieve muscle tension. This ancient technique can be a stand-alone session, although the therapist will decide if it’s safe and appropriate based on your individual needs. Cupping has been scientifically linked to pain relief, improved mobility, and the reduction of inflammation, making it an excellent option for musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain and tight muscles.

Ear acupuncture (also known as auriculotherapy) can be offered in group sessions when there is enough demand. Small needles are placed on specific points on the ear, which are connected to different areas of the body. Group sessions are especially effective for stress relief, addiction recovery, and anxiety. Research supports the benefits of ear acupuncture for calming the nervous system, promoting relaxation, and enhancing mental well-being.

Electro-acupuncture involves the gentle application of electrical currents through acupuncture needles, enhancing the effects of traditional acupuncture. This method is always incorporated within a regular acupuncture session and is used only when needed. Studies show that electro-acupuncture can increase pain relief, improve circulation, and stimulate nerve function, making it particularly useful for treating chronic pain, muscle injuries, and nerve-related issues.
