We love treating kids!

In our practice we cater to the needs of the specific child and also use non-insertive needling techniques that are extremely gentle and relaxing known as shonishin.

Acupuncture can be used to address pain, allergies, coughs/colds, anxiety, digestive concerns and more as it works on recalibrating your own body so that it can function optimally 😉

Thanks for such a great introduction to our practice, Monica Leggatt!

Pleased to announce that I will now be offering a high grade system (Bioflex) of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)/ photobiomodulation treatments in my clinic (laser array and probe), which can be used as a stand alone procedure or in conjunction with your regular acupuncture sessions for common skin concerns as well as pain conditions including single or multiple joint pain, migraines, concussions, and sciatica.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. As a therapist trained in the use of laser acupuncture (we use laser array and probe) and also speaking from personal experience, this method is safe for adults and kids, non-invasive and works very well in conjunction with your regular treatment regimen.

"The lasers used in LLLT are typically small (often handheld) units, and unlike surgical and aesthetic lasers, do not heat the targeted tissue. Instead, LLLT emits low levels of light that are absorbed by your mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles in many of your cells), which then can increase cellular energy production and ultimately help heal surrounding tissue. This process is comparable to plant photosynthesis, during which sunlight is absorbed by plants and converted to energy for the plants to grow.
Healing Benefits of LLLT"

"Low-level laser therapy may sometimes provide an effective alternative to surgery or medications—without accompanying side effects. It can help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and increase immunity, and research has shown its efficacy in treating many conditions, including":
Plantar fasciitis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Temporomandibular joint disorder
Exercise-induced muscle fatigue and injury prevention
Skin conditions
Traumatic brain injury
Stroke

Low-level laser therapy uses the healing power of light to provide a potential therapy alternative to medications and surgery. Here's the low-down on how laser therapy works, what it can treat, its potential risks, and how you can track down a laser therapist or a home-use laser unit in your area.
