Acupuncture Treatments

Our 50 or 80 minute Acupuncture Sessions include a customized combination of the following modalities and methods:

  • Balance Method

    Balance Method Acupuncture is a powerful, results-driven system rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine and refined for modern clinical use. By stimulating distal points—areas away from the site of pain—we promote immediate relief and systemic balance. This technique is particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and stress-related symptoms. Patients often feel significant changes within minutes of treatment, making it ideal for both acute and chronic conditions.

    Method: This system uses distal acupuncture points—areas of the body far from the affected site—to treat the root cause and symptoms simultaneously. Dr. Jeff applies diagnostic mapping and channel theory to select precise point combinations that “mirror” or “image” the area of concern. Most treatments yield noticeable results in the first session, making this a favorite approach for patients with stubborn pain or chronic conditions.

Benefits

  • Provides immediate pain relief in many cases

  • Treats both physical and emotional imbalances

  • Stimulates the body’s natural healing response

  • Effective for chronic and acute conditions alike

  • Supports systemic balance and internal organ function

  • Dry Needling

    Dry Needling is a precise technique that targets myofascial trigger points—tight bands in muscle tissue—to relieve pain and restore functional movement. Often used in sports medicine and physical therapy, it’s highly effective for muscle spasms, repetitive stress injuries, TMJ, and postural imbalances. Unlike traditional acupuncture, Dry Needling focuses on musculoskeletal anatomy and is commonly used for athletic performance and injury recovery. Expect improved range of motion, faster muscle recovery, and long-lasting relief.

    Method: Ultra-fine, sterile needles are inserted directly into myofascial trigger points—tight, irritable spots in the muscle—to release contraction and restore normal function. This technique does not involve traditional acupuncture meridians and is guided by an understanding of muscular anatomy. You may feel a twitch response or deep ache during needling, followed by improved mobility and reduced discomfort.

Benefits

  • Releases trigger points and muscle knots

  • Increases flexibility and range of motion

  • Reduces pain from repetitive strain and overuse

  • Speeds up recovery from injury and intense physical activity

  • Supports neuromuscular re-education and alignment

  • Electro Acupuncture

    Electro-Acupuncture enhances the benefits of traditional acupuncture by adding a gentle electric current to the needles. These low-frequency pulses stimulate muscle fibers, increase circulation, and encourage nerve regeneration. Electro-acupuncture is especially effective for conditions involving chronic pain, nerve damage, inflammation, and muscle weakness. It’s a go-to modality for patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries, dealing with sciatica, or seeking relief from repetitive strain.

    Method: After the insertion of acupuncture needles, small clips are attached and connected to a low-frequency electrical device. The mild pulses stimulate the nervous system and muscle tissue in rhythmic patterns. Patients often describe the sensation as a gentle tapping or buzzing, with effects that continue after the session ends. This technique is particularly useful for orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions, and rehabilitation needs.

Benefits

  • Enhances circulation and lymphatic flow

  • Promotes tissue regeneration and nerve repair

  • Helps manage chronic pain, sciatica, and inflammation

  • Increases the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments

  • Stimulates underactive muscles and calms overactive nerves
