Most people, men and women, will experience musculoskeletal pain at some point in their life. Some will be acute and some will be chronic. Dr. Heather is trained in a style of acupuncture, APM, that goes beyond the typical acupuncture treatment to alleviate pain. She utilizes the body's immune system to decrease inflammation and increase blood flow. She also uses specific techniques to treat "knots" or trigger points in the muscles. Dr. Heather treats from a truly holistic point of view, looking at the underlying root of the pain, where the symptoms are, and how to prevent it from worsening or recurring.

The most common pains we see are those related to the back and spine. Whether it is the low back, the neck, or the sciatic nerve we look at how we can treat the inflammation at the spinal level as well as the pain at the muscle level. We often see that there is involvement of both, especially when the pain is recurring or chronic. Dr. Heather's specialized treatments allow for relief of these chronic pains. Every patient is different, so treatment plans can vary depending on the patients experience with their symptoms.
Headaches and migraines can be triggered by many different things. Each person is unique in their experience of their headaches/migraines. Dr. Heather takes time to understand your unique situation to development a treatment plan to treat and manage your symptoms, as well as help you with how to help yourself outside of acupuncture treatment.
Reiki is a Japanese Energy medicine. Similar to acupuncture, Reiki moves your energy or ki (qi) around. It can promote relaxation, remove emotional blocks, improve awareness and much more. We are offering it on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
