Orthopedic acupuncture includes acupuncture neurology, trigger point, motor point and dry needling. Orthopedic acupuncture helps to rehabilitate injuries and manage persistent pain conditions of the musculoskeletal system as well as improving movement impairment. The musculoskeletal system includes joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves and the structures that support the neck, back and limbs. Orthopedic acupuncture is a valuable treatment for muscle tightness, spasm, muscle spasticity, swelling, and painful trigger points. Orthopedic acupuncture is based on both modern physiology, neurology and biomechanics and clinically effective evidence based traditional Eastern medicine.

This is where East meets West ~ the best of both medical systems combined.
​
How it works:
​Orthopedic acupuncture reprograms the body via neural reprogramming. Neural reprograming happens at the soft tissue level that communicates via the neural network. This process encourages muscle and tendon systems to unwind, relax and allow for lengthening of tight bands of muscle. This process reduces and eliminates pain.
This therapeutic treatment does not require uncomfortable manual therapy or painful needling. Orthopedic acupuncture is very effective without the discomfort associated with other types of therapies or needling.
During and after treatment, patients feel a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Relaxation has an important role in healing. When the nervous system is free from tension and stress the body can begin the healing process.​​ Until the nervous system gets the signal that it is safe to relax it wont allow for full healing to begin.
A reduction of pain should be noticed within the first 24-48 hours after treatment lasting 3 days to a week after the initial visit and each visit builds on the previous treatment providing long lasting results.

Naturopathic Medicine W/ Dawn Flynn

Naturopathic medicine, also called “naturopathy” is a system of health care – an art, science, philosophy and practice of medicine that follows principles found in nature.

Naturopathic medicine, also called “naturopathy” is a system of health care – an art, science, philosophy and practice of medicine that follows principles found in nature. These principles are based upon the observation and experience of the natural environment, the human organism, and the relationship between the two. Therapies to support good health and prevent illness are continually reexamined in the light of scientific advances. In addition, traditional, folk and indigenous healing knowledge passed down over time is greatly respected and used with enthusiasm.

Botanical medicines, one such therapy used in Dr. Flynn’s practice, contain hundreds to thousands of interrelated compounds such as aromatic oils, minerals, enzymes, nutrients, etc. as well as energetic properties which work together to produce a whole therapeutic medicine with minimal risk of side effects. Botanical medicines that address the body on levels are used in the form of capsules, tinctures, and flower essences.

Foot Reflexology W/ Amy Goetz

Reflexology is a scientific art based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears, which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques result in stress reduction that causes a physiological change in the body.

Amy Goetz LMP, CR

For 25 years I have been helping people put their best foot forward.

To me, the power of reflexology is that it works on a structural level to help open and relax the feet so you want to move more. This grounding and movement helps the body circulate nutrients and remove waste, making your body work better and you feel better. Reflexology provides layers of deep, deep relaxation and a recalibration of the nervous system making your mind clearer and your body more rested. 

Some Primary Benefits of Reflexology: *Relieves pain from Plantar Fasciitis and Bunions *Helps manage hormones, migraines and insomnia *Improves circulation and reduces edema, and lowers high blood pressure *Gentle relief of symptoms associated with many autoimmune complications and cancer treatments

Dawn earned her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA, in 1999. She continues learning and teaching the vitalistic tradition of Naturopathic Medicine, which recognizes that life is more than biochemical and physiological reactions; it is a dynamic, intelligent, animating force constantly changing, growing, developing, and supporting health and healing. In her practice, Dawn uses therapies that help remove obstacles to this intelligent force and stimulate, support, assist, and enhance the natural healing process. Dawn earned her Master’s in Acupuncture from Tri-State College in New York, NY, in 2008. There, she learned Acupuncture Physical Medicine (APM) assessment and treatment, trigger point acupuncture, and dry needling from the school’s director, Mark Seem, PhD. Since then, Dawn has extensively studied the connection between trauma, illness, and health recovery. She completed Lonny Jarret’s two-year program in Five Element acupuncture and continues to study classical Chinese medicine and pulse diagnosis developed by the late psychiatrist and Chinese medicine practitioner Leon Hammer, MD, LAc. She holds two certifications as a trainer in the bodymind practice of Focusing developed by Eugene Gendlin, PhD. Dawn enjoys teaching virtual courses to the public on the gut-brain axis, a wholebody approach to addiction treatment, decreasing inflammation through diet, mindful practices for pain management, and optimizing mental health through nutrition. She regularly leads in-person workshops and retreats and teaches continuing education courses on the practice of Focusing at Bastyr University. She has had articles on addiction, mental health, trauma, and healing through Chinese and naturopathic medicine published in books and journals. She enjoys writing monthly articles for physicians, students, and the Naturopathic Medicine Institute members. Dawn has been actively engaging with her new community since her recent move from the Seattle area to the Skagit Valley, enjoying the abundance of farm-fresh food, numerous trails for walking, high mountain peaks for climbing, and cool water for swimming. She loves crossing the water by ferry to meet with friends and family in the nearby forests and coastal towns.
