Acupuncture

Acupuncture dates back thousands of years and involves inserting and manipulating extremely thin needles at specific points on your body. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is at these points that the energy that keeps us healthy flows close to the skin. A customized acupuncture session stimulates and restores your body's natural energetic flow using tiny, single-use needles to reduce pain and illness and promote vitality.


All acu-therapies require an completing comprehensive health history form, consultation, and treatment. Treatments vary from 45-60 minutes, according to need and therapy protocols.

Healing Foundations offers fully-customized, individual acupuncture sessions following a comprehensive consultation. To best accommodate your needs at every visit, each session may include acupuncture alone, or combine additional therapies, and/or lifestyle and nutritional guidance. Your first visit includes intake protocols in addition to your initial treatment and may take up to 90-minutes. Follow-up treatments are 45 minutes each.

Please arrive a few minutes early for your session and wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be pushed or rolled up to expose the elbows and knees.

Some people find relief from their symptoms right away after an acupuncture treatment, while others may see a difference in hours or even days after. Just as with pharmaceuticals, a single treatment is often not enough to alleviate chronic conditions. Your therapist will work with you to devise a treatment plan to suit your needs and schedule, while most greatly benefiting you.

Electro-Acupuncture
Gentle electric current is applied to acupuncture needles to further stimulate the acupuncture points. The use of electro acupuncture provides controlled stimulation to the acupuncture points without causing tissue damage. Particularly useful in treating pain exacerbated by muscle imbalances.

The National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization recommend acupuncture for many disorders, which include: Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Headaches and Migraines, Back pain, Menstrual cramps, Pain and Nausea after surgery, Tendonitis, including tennis elbow and frozen shoulder, Stroke and Brain Injury Recovery, Digestive issues, Anxiety and Stress-Related Disorders

Cupping & Gua sha

These two Oriental medicine modalities increase micro profusion or micro circulation on the surface of muscles that are tight or in areas where there is congestion or stiffness.  Increased blood flow to muscles and surrounding tissue brings in oxygenated blood and fluids to carry out metabolic waste and deliver the components that are needed for tissue repair and break up any superficial adhesions in the tissue that might be contributing to muscle tension and pain.  These modalities are offered as stand-alone services, though in some instances they may be incorporated into your acupuncture/acu-therapy treatment at the discretion of your practitioner.

Cupping and Gua sha are often used in conjunction with acupuncture and bodywork therapies, but at Healing Foundations they can also be scheduled as a stand-alone treatment.

  • Decrease stiffness

  • Increase blood flow

Bodywork

Bodywork at Healing Foundations is rooted in Asian  techniques that utilize energetic points on the body, similar to acupuncture.  The practitioner uses their fingers, thumbs, and palms to apply pressure to specific points along pathways related to the fascial, central, and autonomic nervous systems. Rocking, stretching, and joint rotation techniques may also be used. Your practitioner will customize a treatment for your session by combining various techniques to suit your needs to release stress or help address structural and postural issues as part of a balanced wellness program.

Unlike some massage methods, you will remain partially or fully clothed for your bodywork session.  We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you can move easily in.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral therapy involves applying very gentle touch to the external structures of the CranioSacral system, which includes the bones, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By restoring integrity to the entire nervous system, this method supports healing in all areas, and is especially effective for migraines, chronic neck and back pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia and other connective tissue disorders and issues related to oral surgery. In addition to nurturing the body's innate healing ability, CranioSacral work is increasingly used as a preventative measure to bolster resistance to imbalance, illness and disease.

Crystal Energy Therapy
Crystal energy therapy is a holistic, non-invasive, vibrational energy-based system of healing. It is therapeutic and deeply relaxing, as it treats the whole person and their integrated energy system. 

Working with crystalline energy helps the body to find its natural rhythm. Crystals have the ability to hold and emit balanced energy and vibrations. Crystals affect our electro-magnetic energy fields or subtle bodies that surround and permeate the physical body. The technique uses precisely placed crystals on and/or around the physical body. Crystals may also be laid in precise geometric patterns (grids) on and/or around the body. The benefits occur at different levels. The deep relaxation that is created is an effective antidote to stress, anxiety or depression, and is helpful in maintaining general wellbeing.
