Acupuncture

According to our resident acupuncturist, Katerina Pozzi Baratta, MSOM, Acupuncture is a treatment method in which a practitioner uses tiny sterile needles on specific points in order to influence the Qi dynamic throughout the body.

Qi (pronounced “chee”) is a word used to described the life force that flows through every living thing.

Acupuncture is based on the theory that there are meridians, or energetic channels, all over the body which act as pathways for Qi to flow. Qi should be fairly balanced in a healthy person, but in reality everyone has areas in which Qi is relatively stronger and others in which it is weaker.

Acupuncture treatments aim to restore balance in the channels to bring the person as a whole into a healthier and more vibrant state of being.

A classic Chinese principle is that when Qi flows, there is no pain, when Qi is stuck, it causes pain. This pain can be both physical or emotional.

Through the stimulation of specific points and channels on the body, acupuncture boosts deficiencies, reduces excess, and removes blockages in the channels so Qi can flow better and the body can heal itself naturally.

When administered by a licensed acupuncturist, acupuncture is very safe and a highly effective treatment choice for a variety of conditions, including:

Fertility Menstrual irregularities and pain Morning sickness Dermatological conditions Musculoskeletal pain Digestive issues Respiratory conditions Addiction Emotional problems and more But while acupuncture may be the most famous form of Chinese medicine, it is far from the only one!

Chinese medicine treatments often include a lot of other modalities as well, including herbal medicine, bodywork, cupping, moxabustion, qigong, nutrition & lifestyle counseling, and more.

IV Medicine Therapy

Intravenous (IV) medicine therapy is micronutrients found in healthy foods delivered right to your cells. IV nutrient therapy can be an effective treatment alone or in addition to a comprehensive health plan. Vitamin and mineral infusions directly into the blood strengthen the immune system, enhance the body’s response to stress and fatigue, support cognitive function, and improve energy levels.

IV therapy is one of the most effective treatments to reduce the duration and severity of colds and the flu. And ask us how IV nutrient therapy can improve your athletic performance and give you an extra edge, whether beginning a new exercise routine to improve your health or undergoing intense physical training.

Injection Therapies

Intramuscular micronutrient injections deliver nutrients directly to targeted cells by slowly releasing the medicine into your bloodstream over time. These are great options for people with symptomatic nutritional deficiencies or for people with compromised bowel absorption.

PRP: Orthopedic + Joint Pain

Orthopedic / Joint Injections for Pain

A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment begins with a simple blood draw and the application of either a numbing cream or injectable anesthetic so that the procedure is quick and painless. Most procedures can be completed in less than an hour and have no down time!

PRP: Aesthetic

PRP therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. It can also be used aesthetically via injection techniques and/or microneedling to improve the appearence of scars, fine lines/wrinkle, skin texture and loss of volume. We also use PRP for hair regeneration, vaginal rejuvenation and breast augmentation. PRP therapy has no side effects since we're using the patient's own platelets, stem cells, growth factors. It's a safe and natural way to enhance the body's own collagen building processes!

Comprehensive Allergy and Sensitivity

We use a form of electro-acupuncture testing to measure an individual’s change in skin resistance when exposed to potential allergens or sensitivities. She believes it to be more clinically accurate than other types of testing and recommends it for patients who have been diagnosed with autoimmune diseases like fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, and Cushing’s syndrome as well as for patients who have more obvious allergy symptoms. It is often very useful in identifying food sensitivities in people with skin and gastrointestinal disorders. It is non-invasive and painless, which makes it very useful in the testing of children, especially infants with colic and eczema.

Our treatment approach will vary based on individual’s needs but we do focuses on diet, stress reduction, sleep and herbs as main components of treatment plans.

Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC)

Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) is an intravaginal massage that utilizes myofascial trigger point release and breath work with the goal of balancing the muscle tone of the pelvic floor and reconnecting the woman with her center. It is helpful for physical complaints like incontinence, pain with intercourse, prolapse, general discomfort, sense of fullness, diastasis, back pain, inability to connect to the muscles, among others. It also helps to restore core balance by tapping into the mental emotional aspects of one’s sense of self.

Cardiovascular Disease Screening

Have you ever wondered how old your blood vessels are? Getting your Vascular Age results is one of the best ways to know if you are at risk today so that you can prevent heart disease in the future. Thickening of the walls of our blood vessels is a normal process of aging. Premature thickening is one of the first signs of cardiovascular disease and is an independent risk factor to predict the lifetime occurrence of a heart attack or stroke. As part of your cardiovascular work up, we run over 50 independent blood makers that assess a lipid standard panel as well as lipid particle size and count, cholesterol production and absorption, general and specific inflammation, genetic risk factors, diabetes risk, liver function, kidney function and hormone balance.

What is CIMT Testing?

Carotid IM Thickness (CIMT) testing is a completely non-invasive, simple ultrasound performed by Dr. Seth Burrell. Your health history may indicate the need for a full cardiac auscultation (assessment of heart sounds) and a measurement of jugular venous pressure at the time of the procedure.

After the test, you will receive a full report including:

• Your “Vascular Age” and cardiovascular risk profile
• Reporting of carotid plaques, if present
• Report of pathology of the thyroid gland if present
• Recommendations on how to reduce your risk

Why is it so useful?

• Prevention: a new cardiovascular test to effectively and efficiently identify asymptomatic cardiovascular disease.
• Prediction: predicts the lifetime risk of heart attack and stroke better than traditional risk factors such as cholesterol.
• Visualization: you can actually see the plaque! This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to actually see plaque in the body.

Who should get a vascular age test?

If you have one or more of the following, testing is highly recommended:

• Family history of heart disease and/or stroke
• Overweight, obesity and/or a sedentary lifestyle
• Tobacco user or a history of tobacco use
• High blood pressure
• High LDL cholesterol
• Low HDL cholesterol
• Elevated triglycerides
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Diabetes
• The carotid arteries are like “windows” into the coronary arteries: vascular age testing can predict the the future incidence of stroke or heart attack. But remember: carotid arterial wall thickness is reversible!
