Acupuncture is a holistic approach to health based on over 2,000 years of development and refinement in the Far East. Chinese medicine sees the body as a whole, being unable to separate Mind, Body and Spirit. Traditional Chinese philosophy views our health as dependent on the body's energy - known as Qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by many factors, physical, mental and emotional: anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons and trauma.
The tradition is as much about the maintenance of health as the management of disease, although patients seek treatment with a wide range of illnesses. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist aims to stimulate the body's own healing response and help to restore its natural balance. Most patients find the treatments relaxing.

Bio Feedback
Bio Feedback can show you “energetically” what stressors are impacting the wellness of your body so that you can take proactive steps towards optimal health.
The Human body is comprised of a series of interacting, multidimensional subtle energy systems that are greatly affected by all other energies in the environment.
The main premise of a quantum biofeedback session is that the body is electrical in nature, extremely intelligent and has the ability to heal itself when the right conditions or stimuli are provided.
With the help of the Indigo Quantum Biofeedback system, we can painlessly and non-invasively look at over 10,000 reactions to common stressors and begin to piece the picture together as to where your body requires additional support.
The positive side effects of biofeedback may include:
-
Greater Insight as to what is going on in your body
-
Improved overall health and wellness
-
Improvement with relaxation and sleep patterns
-
Reduction of stress, anxiety and hypertension
-
Improvements with Digestive issues
-
Improvements with bloating and constipation issues
-
Improvement in weight fluctuations
-
Increase in amount of calmness and peacefulness
-
Reduction of anger and less fearfulness
-
Fewer anxiety attacks
- Amelioration of sorrow and reduction of the depth of depression
- Improved focus and enhanced mental clarity

Chiropractic is a primary health care profession and thus, a referral is not required for you to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are specialists in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractic is based on the premise that joint dysfunction and poor biomechanics cause inflammation and nerve irritation resulting in a wide variety of symptoms including pain, numbness, stiffness and weakness. A chiropractic doctor identifies the dysfunction, and, using gentle manual therapy techniques, restores the normal joint mobility. This addresses the cause of the problem and works with the body’s natural ability to heal itself, without the use of drugs or surgery
People often seek chiropractic care for:
Back pain
Neck pain
Headache
Whiplash
Strains and sprains
Repetitive strain injuries
Sports injuries
Arthritis
Restricted movement of the back, shoulders, neck or limbs
Some of the many benefits of receiving chiropractic care include:
Improved mobility in your neck shoulders or back
Better posture
Relief from headaches, neck and back pain
Enhanced athletic performance
Improved flexibility

Low Level Laser Therapy is a safe, painless, non-invasive modality. The laser photons penetrate the skin and stimulate cell regeneration. This stimulates wound healing and nerve regeneration while decreasing pain and inflammation. Laser therapy is effective in the treatment of sprains, strains, back pain, neck pain, neuralgia, bursitis, tendonitis, sciatica, TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many other conditions. Low level laser therapy truly is healing on a cellular level.
Massage a form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of the body or successively to the whole body, to aid the process of injury healing, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation.
Swedish Massage is a widely accepted technique to gently treat muscles and soft tissues of the body to relieve tension, decrease pain, increase circulation and range of motion, and create a general feeling of calm and relaxation.
Massage can be beneficial to persons of all ages to improve general health by reducing the effects of stress, physical strain and injury. A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is a highly trained health care practitioner who uses a variety of manual techniques to improve the health of muscles and joints. Treatments result in increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and improved digestion and sleep.
Massage benefits the whole body at a very deep level. Studies have shown that a good massage can reduce cortisol, which is a stress hormone, and can strengthen the immune system by increasing white blood cells called lymphocytes that combat infection.
Swedish massage is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy, chiropractic and Matrix Repatterning treatments to accelerate healing and reduce pain. Most extended health care programs cover the cost of massage therapy, but some require a recommendation from a family doctor.
Even if only for the relaxing effect of a massage, consider trying a session. It might turn into one of your best choices for maintaining your health on a regular basis.
Matrix Repatterning ® is a treatment that is safe and effective in relieving a wide variety of conditions in people of all ages. It offers lasting and drug-free relief, and has been successful in treating diverse conditions such as headaches, back pain, joint pain, sports injuries, head injuries, fibromyalgia, and nerve pain, among others. Matrix Repatterning is a revolutionary physical therapy, because it treats the body’s cellular matrix, or the network of interconnected cells throughout the human body.
Events in everyday life, from birth onward–such as falls, bumps, or trauma–can cause subtle but deep structural changes in the body. While the body is designed to do a remarkable job of compensating for these changes, symptoms may begin when it can no longer do so effectively.
Matrix Repatterning finds and addresses the major locations of injury in the body. Often the problem area is not where the root of the problem is, which is why traditional treatments applied to a symptomatic area seldom bring lasting relief.
A Matrix Repatterning Practitioner applies gentle but precisely focused pressure to normalize the electrical properties of deep tissues where the injury is held. This helps to restore flexibility and function to the injured cells, which facilitates deeper healing. Most people who undergo Matrix treatments notice a difference within a few treatments, and many achieve lasting relief with only a few more. These corrections are typically permanent; only new injuries would warrant your need to receive more treatment. We offer an initial half-hour consultation at absolutely no charge, and with no obligation. Your body has the ability to heal itself, regardless of the age of the injury (chronic or new), with the right help. If you currently require ongoing maintenance treatments for recurring symptoms, or if you wish to reduce your dependence on pain medication, come in and find out how Matrix Repatterning can help you.
Myofacial Release refers to the manual massage technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia and integument, muscles, and bones, with the goal of eliminating pain,increasing range of motion and balancing the body
Powerplate Pro5
What is Power Plate?
Power Plate® equipment is the premium vibration device powering a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities. It uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
Acceleration Training™ on Power Plate® equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery. Our three-dimensional vibration technology continues to lead the industry, and its benefits are grounded in extensive academic and independent scientific medical research.
How Does It Work?
Acceleration Training™ with Power Plate® machines creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, 25 to 50 times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions as the Power Plate® machines actually oscillate in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.
The principle by which Power Plate® machines work lies in the law of motion, stated by Sir Isaac Newton: that the force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by acceleration, or f = m x a. What this means is that one can improve functional force (stability, strength or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and conditioning use mass - as seen in methods with weight machines, free weights, etc. Power Plate® machines, instead, use the second half of this equation, by applying acceleration to the body, while keeping mass, i.e. your body weight, the same.
This is a real breakthrough in training and conditioning as we can now optimally “load” the human frame while minimizing high impact, high load, and high stress factors. Gravity is the force that adds load to the human body every second of every day for every movement we perform. Through Acceleration Training™ exercise, Power Plate® machines make the body feel as though it “weighs” more every time acceleration forces increase.
The result is that you work against a far greater influence or “load” of gravity in every movement you perform. This is the essence of all strength and conditioning programs and Power Plate® machines simply use a different part of the same equation to achieve this! In fact, the amazing outcomes seen with Acceleration Training™ exercise respect the same biological and physiological laws of the body as witnessed in other forms of training. The difference is merely the nature of the stimulus applied (i.e. acceleration), and not the human response.
Scientific Support
A growing body of scientific research demonstrates how the technology behind the Power Plate® machines provides widespread therapeutic applications and health benefits. Listed below are just a few of the numerous studies detailing positive results from using Power Plate® machines as part of your exercise regime.
