Acupuncture
Acupuncture Care & Maintenance
Pain Management: Our injury recovery programs are designed to accelerate healing, manage pain, and restore optimal function. We offer safe and effective treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions, helping you regain strength and mobility.
Acupotomy
Acupotomy is an advanced acupuncture-based treatment using a specialized, minimally invasive flat-tip needle to release adhesions, scar tissue, and restricted fascia. By restoring soft-tissue mobility, it may help reduce chronic pain and improve movement as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
Spectrum of Therapy
Acupuncture treatments may also feature additional therapies, as prescribed for your condition. Dr. Oh has studied a variety of different styles. He believes each style has a benefit for certain patients and is determined to discover the right combination for each patient. He may suggest using cupping, infrared heat therapy, or moxibustion during treatment as he sees fit.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is like a therapeutic incense. The fire never makes direct contact with the skin, rather the therapeutic smoke penetrates the body directly at the scene of problematic areas. It’s often prescribed as a treatment for old sports injuries (ankle sprains that never fully healed, for example) and stomach aches/digestive issues.
Cupping Therapy
Made internationally famous by the marks on Michael Phelps’ back during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, cupping feels much better than it looks in aftermath. Cupping is prescribed for pain management, to relieve fever and cold, and to improve blood circulation. If you’re interested, ask a practitioner at our Clinic to see if it could help you.
Herbal Medicine
Natural Remedies
Discover the power of herbal medicine and natural remedies in promoting healing and well-being. Our practitioner provides personalized herbal treatments to address a variety of individual health concerns and support your overall wellness.
Physical Therapy
Manual Therapy
At our physical therapy clinic, manual therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment approach, offering patients hands-on care that targets pain, stiffness, and movement limitations. This specialized technique involves skilled manipulation of muscles, joints, and soft tissues to improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall function. Our licensed physical therapists use manual therapy in combination with therapeutic exercise and patient education to address both the symptoms and root causes of musculoskeletal conditions. Whether recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or rehabilitating an injury, patients benefit from a personalized treatment plan that includes manual therapy to support faster, more effective recovery.
Tailoring Treatments
At our physical therapy clinic, we believe that every patient is unique, which is why we provide individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s specific needs, goals, and condition. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists conduct thorough evaluations to understand the root cause of pain or dysfunction and consider factors such as lifestyle, activity level, and medical history. This personalized care ensures that each patient receives the most effective therapies—whether manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, or other modalities—designed to promote optimal healing, restore function, and improve quality of life. By focusing on the whole person, we help our patients achieve lasting results and return to the activities they love.
