Acupuncture

Denise has studied a variety of acupuncture styles with some of the most internationally respected Doctors of Chinese Medicine. Because each person responds differently to treatment, Denise uses different styles individually tailored to meet your health care needs.

The Kinetic Clinic

The Kinetic Clinic is a group acupuncture setting that fosters an encouraging community healing environment. We use scalp acupuncture primarily. Specific zones on the scalp are directly related to different areas of the body. Stimulation of these zones while the patient moves, rapidly increases and restores mobility. The same techniques can be used to improve balance and alleviate pain. Once maximum effect has been achieved other points may be added while the patient rests comfortably in a chair.

Because patients are treated in small groups of four the cost of treatment is less than for a private session. The Kinetic Clinic is ideal for stroke patients and is also very effective for patients who are experiencing pain. Call us at 480-832-0966 for days and times.

Tuina (Chinese Massage)

Tuina or Chinese style massage is an important part of treatment for patients with orthopedic conditions. Tuina combines massage techniques with gentle stretching and mobilization. It can be used to further alleviate pain, swelling and muscular spasm and to increase range of motion. It also corrects postural imbalances that are often the root cause of pain and loss of mobility.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is a wonderful complement to acupuncture treatment. Herbal formulas provide vital nutrients that have specific healing actions for muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and our internal organs. At In Motion Orthopedic and Sports Acupuncture we use both internal and external herbal formulas. Internal formulas work from the inside of the body to decrease inflammation and pain and provide the necessary nutrients to heal injured tissue. These formulas also strengthen the body, increase energy, and optimize the function of our internal organs. External formulas are applied to the surface of the skin. They work from the outside to reduce pain and swelling and to speed the healing of injured tissues.

We use only the highest quality certified good manufacturing practices (GMP) herbs.

Nutritional Counseling

The role of food as medicine is very important in Chinese medicine. Certain foods help us heal, while other foods hinder our progress. Patients suffering from chronic pain benefit immensely from an anti-inflammatory diet. We work together to help you learn which foods to choose and which foods to avoid for your constitution.
