Massage

 

Massage therapy can improve muscle and joint function by relieving tension, spasm, or other restrictions to proper motion.  It may be used for relaxing or stimulating muscles in order to prevent injury or for rehabilitation of a patient after an injury has occurred. One of our technicians, Sharon Jones- Gilmore, is a registered human and animal massage therapist. Sharon offers pet massage, Reiki and other energy healing modalities. 

 

Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture is the treatment of conditions or symptoms by the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body in order to produce a response.  It can be used to treat a variety of ailments, including arthritis, diabetes and allergies.
