PERCUSSION THERAPY (MASSAGE GUN)

Feel Your Aches and Pains Melt Away in Minutes

Deep tissue massage percussion (vibration) therapy by massage guns can help push out waste, improve blood circulation and release tension, and reduce pain. They do this by producing a vibration that penetrates deep into the muscle, where standard massage alone can't reach. Another potential effect of percussive therapy is the stimulation of the release of the feel-good neurotransmitters, serotonin, and dopamine, which may boost mood and mental focus. Feel your aches and pains melt away in minutes.

$120 One hour

ASP NEEDLES

THIS TINY ASP NEEDLE COULD END YEARS OF PAIN IN MOMENTS

ASP needles are shaped like tiny darts that are inserted into auricular (ear) acupuncture points. The ASP needles are designed to stay in the ear for 2-7 days for continued results. ASP needles either fall out on their own or are removed by the patient. 


ASP ear needles (Aiguille Semi-Permanente) or semi-permanent needles are made in Lyon, France. They were designed by a French physician to stay in the ear for a length of time. Here in the USA, they tend to stay in for several days to a week or more. In France, it is not uncommon for a doctor to leave them in for a month or more at a time.


ASP ear needles come in three different types of metal: Gold (pictured above), Stainless Steel and Titanium. The different metals are used to treat a wide variety of conditions. The titanium needles are safe to leave in during an MRI or PET scan and can be used for pain relief and to promote recovery after surgery (with permission from your doctor). 


East Lake Acupuncture in Saint Cloud, Florida, has been using these needles with great success to reduce pain, anxiety and relieve PTSD symptoms in veterans, for many years. 


ASP needles work best went used as an add-on to standard acupuncture. It has been our experience, that they do not work as well as traditional acupuncture, or as a stand-alone treatment, but they make a phenomenal "booster" and work well to help get you through until you can get a full acupuncture treatment.   Most popular conditions treated with ASP needles: 


  • Travel/flight anxiety - Frequently used to help soothe anxiety when traveling.
  • PTSD and general anxiety - ASP needles may help calm frazzled nerves, and provide enough relief from anxiety, to allow you to enjoy an outing, or help calm the mind to promote a more peaceful night's sleep.
  • Digestive issues - A patient favorite add-on for chronic constipation or diarrhea triggered by emotional upset
  • Pain (any type of pain)


ASP needles get “reactivated” every time you get up or move

BONUS - $2 Per ASP needle when already here for another serivce (with an acupuncturist)

Advanced Urinary Hormone Testing

The Answer May Lie In Your Hormones

Why Standard Blood Tests Aren't Enough

Why Standard Blood Tests Aren't Enough

The only way to know if hormones are in balance is to test them. Therefore, it’s vital to use a lab that understands subtle differences between testing mediums, and has both the experience and technology to deliver the most accurate results, which is why we use ZRT and Physician's Labs.

care and removal of ear needles or ear seeds/beads

Continue normal activities and avoid over exertion for the initial 6-12 hours after a treatment.  You may bathe or shower with ASP needles, Press needles ("sticky needles") or ear seeds/beads in place.


Be careful not to pull the needles when cleaning or drying the ear.  ASP needles often get caught in the loops of towels when drying hair and will pop out, so uses extra care when towel-drying. 


Using a warm blow dryer about 6 inches from the ear will re-activate the needles. If you remove the needles, or find them when they fall out, dispose of them in a container with a lid. An empty water bottle works great. Press neeldes can be folded in half to seal the needle into the tape, then trown away in the trash. Ear seeds/beads can be taken off and thrown away in the trash. 


You may take notes about how you feel, sleep, and your pain level to report back at your next visit.  The ASP or Press needles can remain in your ear for up to seven days, or if they fall out then they are “done.”


It is normal to expereince some slight, but temporary redness and discomfort during the first 2-3 days of wearing ASP and Press needles and ear seeds/beads. And while infections or allegic reactions are rare, they are possible and it's important you monitor your ears for any signs of infections or allergic reactions. 


Monitoring and removal: Once a day, check the needles or ear seeds/beads.  If any swelling, accompanied by redness and pain develops at the site of the needle or ear seed/bead, remove it by twisting clockwise and counter clockwise, while pulling gently.  Removing during/after a warm shower can facilitate needle removal. Please call the office immediately to let us know, or better yet, some in and have us look at your ear. Remember, some redness and discomfort is to be expected, and infection or allergic reactions are rare.

APPOINTMENT DEPOSITS

Additional Information

Due to the high-demand and limited availablity of new patient appointments, we now require a $75 refundable deposit to hold a new patient appointment. Deposits must be paid within 24-hours of making the appointment, or it will be cancelled. Your deposit will be applied to the cost of your visit, or held on account to cover your copays, co-insurance, or purchases. If you have a $0 copay on your insurance, this deposit will be refunded back to your credit card once your claim is paid by your insuance. We do not require a new patient deposit for veterans booked thorugh the VA.


We require two business days' (48-hours) notice to cancel or reschedule the visit. This will allow us to rebook the appointment and prefent a lost booking. A new patient appointment requires the same amount of time as 3-6 established patient appointments, so cancelling or rescheduling far enough ahead of your appointment, will alow up to six other patients to be seen. If you fail to show up for your appointment or cancel outside of the required notice, the amount will be forfeited to offset the lost booking.


We realize that sometimes life puts obstacles in our way and there are times a person simply can't make it and aren't able to provide two business days' advance notice to cancel or reschedule. That's okay! We understand and there are no hard feelings. That's what the deposit is for. Though it won't cover the full cost of your visit, it will help reduce the hardship of the lost bookingto the clinic. We are small, woman-owned, Native America-owned, small business, and like many small businesses, we too, were hit hard by the pandemic. We allow two canceled or rescheduled new patient appointments. 


Making an appointment on behalf of someone else - Appointments made on behalf of family member have the highest frequency of no-shows. We can't tell you how many times someone has booked a visit for a spouse, parent, or friend because they wanted them to experience the joy of acupuncture, or a massage by Maria, only to have that person not show for the visit becaue they really didn't want to come, but didn't want to cause hurt feelngs by saying "no."


If you are making an appointment for a family member, friend, etc., you will be responsible for the the full amount of the visit in advance and seek reimbursement from the patient. This is due to the higher liklihood of a no-show. We recommend purchasing a gift certificate and having your family-member or friend book their own appointment. This way, your feelings aren't hurt if they don't show and your lose your depoisit. 

Ultrasound Therapy

An often overlooked therapy that delivers

 

Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used to provide deep heating to sore or injured soft tissues ( muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments).


Most commonly treated conditions:

  • Bursitis (inflammation in the fluid-filled sacs along joints)
  • Tendonitis 
  • Muscle sprains, strains, and tears
  • Frozen shoulder
  • General muscle pain and soreness
  • Joint contracture or tightness

Great for low back, neck, knee, wrist, shoulder, ankle and elbow pain. 


Healing At The Speed of Sound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a deep-heating modality that helps heal with the use of sound waves. Ultrasound can have dramatic effects on soft tissue. It is an ideal modality for increasing mobility and flexibility in restricted joints.

Therapeutic blood draw an on-ear to reduce pain.

Therapeutic blood draw (bloodletting)

An Ancient Remedy For Pain Yields Surprising Results

Bloodletting is a specialized technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine that aims to reduce symptoms such as pain, and neuralgia/neuropathy, and increase circulation by taking a very small quantity of blood (sometimes just a few drops)  from specific locations, with a tiny, diabetic lancet. It's surprisingly painless and we've found it to be highly effective in treating stubborn nerve pain, knee pain, and low back pain.
