At our clinic, Monica utilizes both ancient and modern styles of Acupuncture. For pain relief and sports injuries, she may choose the technique of Trigger Point needling – which quickly releases tension in sore muscles. 
For complaints that are of a more internal medicine nature, Traditional meridian style Acupuncture may be chosen.
Ultimately, blood circulation and healing is the goal. Acupuncture excels at creating a lasting change in the body and restoring balance to muscles, organs, and nerves.

Manual Osteopaths utilize joint mobilization techniques. A chiropractor uses a high velocity manipulation to accomplish this. Alternatively, in Osteopathy, we use a medium to low velocity mobilization. The result is an increase in range of motion in painful or dysfunctional joints.

Visceral Manipulation (Organ)

Visceral Manipulation involves restoring movement to the internal organs by using gentle techniques that follow the breath to release fascia, sphincters, and the organ tissue.

MyoFascial Release

Fascia is the 3D matrix of the body that gives us all form. Through injuries, poor posture, and muscle dysfunction – fascia can respond by adhering to muscles, forming “adhesions”. These adhesions only worsen over time, as they pull on muscles and wreak havoc, eventually leading to body wide tightness and pain. Myofascial release is a necessary treatment modality to promote proper muscle function.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy is similar to Cranial Sacral therapy, with a focus on movement of the cranial bones. This technique is excellent for concussions, headaches, sinus or eye ailments, and neck pain.
