What to Expect

All initial treatments at Inner Gate Health & Wellness include both a thorough health history and a treatment.

We ask that patients come to the clinic 15 minutes before their initial treatment so that they have time to fill out all the necessary paper work.

We always do our best to verify insurance benefits before your initial appointment. We do our best to know your financial obligation. However, the info we receive from insurance companies is not always accurate.

We ask that you wear or bring loose fitting clothing such as shorts and camisoles. These make evaluation, stretching, and treatment easier. We always have gowns and towels available as well.

You are invited to bring a sheet or towel to increase your comfort on the treatment table.

Chiropractic Medicine

Chiropractic medicine is a safe and natural health care option offering a holistic approach that incorporates sound medical knowledge to treat a multitude of acute and chronic conditions. Our chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive treatments that manually adjust the spine, other joints, and soft tissues to restore proper alignment of the body’s structures. These chiropractic adjustments improve the mobility of bodies structures restricted by injury and reduce pain.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is an important component of Chinese medicine. It has been practiced safely for over two millennia. Chinese herbalists were proficient observers who recorded much of the healing and pain relief they achieved, passing the best formulas on to future generations. Chinese herbal medicine is used effectively to treat a wide variety of diseases, ranging from the common cold to menstrual pain to extreme trauma. For best results, Chinese herbal formulas are often prescribed to reinforce acupuncture treatments and help build strength and vitality in the body. We can either build custom, granule formulas or prescribe classic formulas that are in easy-to-take pill form.

Massage

Our licensed massage therapists use a variety of massage techniques including, cranio-sacral, deep tissue, and myofascial. They are all licensed and very experienced.

Tuina massage is a Chinese style of massage that is used alongside acupuncture to treat a wide variety of health complaints. Our acupuncturists have all been trained to use tuina massage techniques to speed healing and quickly reduce pain.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, artemesia vulgaris, above the skin. Moxibustion has been used for thousands of years to strengthen the immune system and stimulate blood flow to initiate healing and maintain general health. The heat easily penetrates joints providing relief for arthritis and joint related pain.

Cupping

Cupping therapy is a method of using suction to pull or move stagnant fluids and blood out of an injured area. Either glass or plastic cups are placed on the skin for up to 15 minutes to create the desired affects. In this simple way cupping reduces pain and relaxes tight painful muscles. Cups are also regularly placed over the lungs to stimulate and improve lung function. In this way, cupping works to combat the early symptoms of a cold, stimulate expectoration of phlegm later in a cold and reduce the frequency of asthma attacks.
