"My doctor told me I needed surgery to fix a labral tear in my shoulder. I decided to see Allison first with the hope of healing my shoulder as much as possible pre-surgery. She did even better than that! With acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and body work my shoulder was healed to the point where surgery was no longer required. Thank you Allison I am extremely grateful."- Christine Loeber
SPORTS MEDICINE ACUPUNCTURE® is an advanced training in the assessment and treatment of sports, work and orthopedic injuries.
MOTOR POINT or TRIGGER POINT ACUPUNCTURE- the insertion of an acupuncture needle into the motor point or trigger point of a muscle causing a fasciculation, which is a spontaneous involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers.
ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE - Two needles in the muscle belly or fascia hooked to low level electric stimulation. Electro acupuncture causes muscle fasciculation inducing relaxation, increased blood flow, anti-inflammatory, and revitalizing the effected area.
CUPPING- decompression of the fascia of the effected area to increase blood and lymph flow & reduce pain and inflammation. Usually causes bruising.
GUA SHA- scrapping the effected area in order to break the blood supply to scar tissue. Increases range of motion and overall function of the effected area. This causes red petechiae of the area scraped.
