Types of Acupuncture Offered at evergreen wellness

General acupuncture used with ultra-fine needles. Sometimes an infrared light will be used depending on the project. 

Electroacupuncture enhances the acupuncture treatment by stimulating a larger area. When you get electroacupuncture, it activates your sympathetic nerves. By activating these fibers, your body releases endogenous opioids such as endorphins, which help to reduce inflammation. ‌

Cupping is used for acute conditions or as an alternative to acupuncture. Cupping stimulates the body's natural healing response which helps  relieve conditions that cause pain. 

 Moxibustion is a heat cupping therapy that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body. The term is derived from the Japanese ‘moxa’ meaning herb (mugwort) and the Latin ‘bustion’ meaning burning.  It is applied by lighting one end of a moxa stick and holding it a few inches away from the skin to increase blood flow and circulation to the area. 

We call this our natural face lift. Facial Acupuncture helps stimulate the skin's surface, muscles and nerves in the face sending fresh  oxygen and blood there which can result in a more rejuvenated fresh surface.  Can help make the skin smoother, stimulates the production of collagen, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. This is great before a special event, or for "Ozempic face." 

 Acupoint injection therapy (APIT) is the injection at an acupuncture point of a small amount of saline, a drug, an herb/plant extract, homeopathic, or vitamin (i.e. Vitamin B-12, Vitamin C) in the form of sterile substances into acupuncture points by means of hypodermic needles. This combines acupuncture and medicine.

 Auricular Therapy is a type of therapy where thin needles are inserted at specific points in the outer ear to control pain and other health projects.

This type of acupuncture is best for neurological projects such as stroke, Parkinson's or other. Needles are inserted into the scalp. 

Great for texters and gamers, this Acupuncture helps with people who are on the computer typing endlessly or using their hands for work and have aches. We insert about 20 special hand needles.
