If you're new to acupuncture it probably seems a little out there, but acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years because it works! The use of certain acupuncture points can be used to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain.
Thermography uses infrared imaging to generate highly detailed digital pictures. The military began using infrared imaging in the 1950's. Valued for its ability to detect and pinpoint areas of heat and movement, this technology provided a way for the military to "see' what and where the eye or other surveillance techniques couldn't -it is also known as "night vision".
Reiki energy healing is both an art and a science. Reiki translates from the Japanese to mean "Universal Life Force Energy." It is this energy, that is all around us that aids in the client's relaxation and self-healing. Reiki is administered either as a seated treatment or a table treatment on a fully clothed recipient. The practitioner's gentle hands are placed in several different positions around and over the client.
For most patients, this is a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation. Once suctioned, the cups are generally left in place for about ten minutes while the patient relaxes. This is similar to the practice of Tui Na, a traditional Chinese medicine massage technique that targets acupuncture points as well as painful body parts, and is well known to provide relief through pressure. The suction created by the cup encourages blood flow-and this increased circulation promotes healing and reduces pain.

Complete relaxation! I had a session with Tory, it was just what I needed. Tory is calm, kind and professional making my first session with her completely comfortable- I definitely booked another appointment. Walking in to this office is like stepping into another world. It's clean and beautiful. What a gift to find this clinic, and thank you so much Tory!

If you are looking for an acupuncturist you need to see David Carter! I was a bit nervous going for the first time, not knowing what to expect. The first impression you get walking in is a warm calming atmosphere. Deb was at the counter to greet me, she made me feel welcomed and right at home. The treatment rooms have a serene relaxing feeling to them.
When I first met David I didn't know what to expect. Ultimately he blew my expectations away. He is kind, caring and gentle, and he really listened to me. I mean REALLY listened. I have been struggling for many years with back pain and hip pain. He sat down with me, asked me a lot of questions to gain an understanding of what I was hoping to get out of acupuncture, and how it might help. Having a slew of physical health issues I dumped a lot on him all at once.
He never made me feel rushed, and I felt heard, unlike most doctors I have seen over the years. His whole vibe instantly brought me to a calm place. Each visit we discussed how things were going and what his plan was for that days treatment. I can't say enough about David, if you are considering acupuncture he is your go to. I highly recommend David Carter!

I had Bell's Palsy about 5 years ago. this fall some of the system recurred. I was not a patient of Davied at this time. I called the office and David saw me that afternoon. I have had acupuncture over many years with Arlene Myers. I am very familiar with acupuncture. I was extremely impressed with the fantastic treatment I received. My Bell's Palsy systems are completely gone. David is a top-notch Acupuncturist! I highly recommend him.

Can't say enough about acupuncturist David Carter! Helping me get back on my feet and back to some type of a normal life. I was hospitalized for 3 days with vertigo. When the western doctors can't give a proper diagnosis you look to the east. Always look east. David is knowledgeable, understanding, a professional. His staff is friendly & welcoming. The rooms are kept nice & neat. Very calming office space. Highly recommended.
