Naturopathic sports medicine involves hands-on therapies designed to treat orthopedic (joints, muscle, and bones) complaints. Treatments are tailored to aid in injury recovery and provide pain relief. Sports Medicine services provided here include:

Dry Needling

A technique where a very fine, short, stainless steel needle is inserted into a "trigger point", or an area of knotted muscle. This helps release the knot and relieve pain and muscle spasms which can lead to greater range of motion and flexibility. 

Kinesio Taping- coming soon 

A therapeutic taping procedure that supports muscles, tendons, and ligaments while promoting movement of lymph fluid. This results in decreased swelling and inflammation, decreased bruising, and decreased pain. Kinesio taping supports the bodies natural healing ability.   

Muscle Energy Technique

A soothing methodology to decrease muscle tension and stiffness. A hydrocolator pack is applied and allowed to warm the muscle followed by a series of gentle stretching alternating with mild resistance to activate the muscle and release tightness. 

Cupping

An ancient technique where cups are applied to the skin to create suction. This suction lifts the skin, promoting blood circulation and helps to break-up entangled fascia tissues. This relieves muscle tension and can promote cellular repair. *Note: bruising is a common and expected side effect of cupping, especially in areas where there has been circulatory congestion.
