Acupuncture
In addition to traditional dry needling acupuncture, we use soft tissue therapies including cupping and Gua Sha to relieve pain, increase flexibility and mobility, and enhance daily and athletic performance. We begin with a thorough assessment and combine manual muscle testing and orthopedic testing to create a treatment plan that is tailor-made to your specific
condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Acupuncture painful?
If you want to try acupuncture but are nervous, just let me know and I will work with you to keep needle size and retention time to a minimum.
Do I need a doctor to refer me to LOVA Health?
What insurance carriers do you accept?
How many sessions do I need?
As a general rule of thumb, the following holds true:
– For more minor, non-chronic injuries or movement challenges, we can see dramatic improvement within 4-6 sessions.
– For more major or chronic injuries or movement issues, we ballpark around 10-12 sessions.
– For severe or long-term chronic issues, it may take up to 20 sessions to see a significant resolution of your symptoms.
What should I wear?
What should I do after treatment?
I usually recommend drinking additional water to flush out the fluid we release. It is not uncommon to have slight post-workout soreness for 24 hours following treatment, and I find that this is lessened by rest, water and Epsom salt baths. The magnesium in Epsom salt is great for muscle relaxation, and the heat of a bath helps increase blood flow.
