Other modalities used at Jade Spring to support your healing

Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbs will accelerate your healing and is essential for creating long lasting improvement. Formulas are tailored to treat specific patterns and symptoms of imbalance and will enhance the work we do with acupuncture.

Trigger Point Injection Therapy

This natural alternative to cortisone injections uses a homeopathic saline solution to treat muscular trigger points. It reduces pain and inflammation, accelerates recovery, improves circulation, and hydrates tissue.

Cupping

Glass or plastic cups create suction on the skin and underlying tissue to soften muscular tension and separate the fascial and muscle layers. This promotes blood flow into the treated area and eliminates pain and stiffness.

IgG Food Sensitivity Testing

This test detects food sensitivities and the presence of candida. Both factors can contribute to systemic inflammation and many chronic health conditions. Read the blog post about The Importance of Recognizing Food Sensitivities.

B-12 Injections

Most of us get all the B-12 we need from food, but people with inflammatory digestive issues (such as Crohn’s), vegetarians and vegans, and those with low levels of hydrochloric (stomach) acid are at risk of Vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Guasha

This 'rubbing' therapy uses the edge of a hard instrument to vigorously work over the skin's surface and increase local blood flow. It is used to treat muscular tension and ease pain, or can be used to fight off colds and flu’s.

Auricular Therapy

Points on the ear offer a direct way to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and enhance relaxation. Auricular therapy is used to treat anxiety, addictions, cravings and can support weight loss.

Moxibustion

The herb Chinese Wormwood is burned near the the skin to stimulate acupuncture points and introduce warmth into the body. It can be used for digestive or gynecological problems, fatigue, tissue regeneration, scar healing and pain. 

Electrical Stimulation

A gentle electrical pulse is directed into acupuncture or trigger points by connecting a TENS unit to acupuncture needles. This is an effective way to reduce trigger points, treat pain and support healthy nerve activity.
