is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones and joints). Doctors of Chiropractic spend 3-4 years in University followed by an additional 4 years of chiropractic college. They provide a diagnosis, treatment and preventative care for many conditions and ailments related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints.

Our chiropractors are evidence-based practitioners, relying on the current research to guide their treatment plans. They use Active Release Therapy, acupuncture, Graston and manipulation as well as Activator, ultrasound, cold laser therapy, tens/IFC and custom orthotics when necessary. 

is a comprehensive intervention that involves a variety of techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and associated structures of the body in order to prevent and relieve pain and restore function. Massage can help with muscle tightness resulting from stress, overuse injuries, chronic pain syndrome and acute muscle strains in a natural, non-invasive way.

Our RMTs focus on trigger points, tightness and the overall movement patterns of the body. With experience in pre and post-natal massage and rehabilitative injury care, they are available to treat a multitude of problems.

Acupuncture is used as a method to prevent disease as it re-balances energy within the body. Modern research has shown that by stimulating acupuncture points along the meridian channels affect the central and peripheral nervous system causing physiological responses in the body. This increase of endorphins aids in pain management while the immune & endocrine system response combats disease.
Acupuncture can be relaxing, offer immediate improvement from a single treatment and dramatic results with on-going follow up treatments.

During your initial acupuncture treatment with our Acupuncturist, a thorough health history is taken addressing current and past health concerns.  In addition to acupuncture, your treatment may include:
cupping, Chinese herbal prescriptions, tu-ina massage, gua-sha, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.  A treatment plan follow up and recommendations may also be included.

:::SKIN DEEP + BEYOND::: Cosmetic Acupuncture: Also known as facial rejuvenation, cosmetic or facial acupuncture – this specialty treatment is derived from ancient needling techniques to further enhance your skin’s appearance and slow down the effects of aging.

Combining the Mei Zen technique, micro-needling and her own Skin Deep + Beyond personalized method, Kriss has been helping client’s compliment their own beauty naturally using the benefits of acupuncture for over 9 years. See fine lines soften and skin tone firm by increasing the body’s own production of collagen and elastin.
Cosmetic acupuncture can also help minimize dark circles, puffy eyes and tighten loose skin.
The fine-needles create ‘micro-traumas’ in the dermis (superficial layer of skin) which increase the collagen that is produced in that area.  The cosmetic treatments also increase the qi (chee) and blood circulation in the face helping complexion and skin tone.

Treatments also include a health history intake ensuring each treatment is customized so that clients benefit from specifically chosen supportive acupuncture body points. These are based on each person’s individual diagnosis including Chinese tongue and pulse evaluation. This acupuncture treatment is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and is covered by most extended health care plans.
