Therapeutic Services

Silver Fern Clinic offers a wide range of therapeutic services designed to alleviate pain, improve health, and enhance overall wellness. Chief among these is acupuncture, a practice that has been utilized for centuries to restore balance to the body's energy flow. By gently inserting thin needles at specific points along the body's meridians, acupuncture can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

In addition to acupuncture, the clinic offers auricular acupuncture, a technique that focuses on points located on the ear that correspond to various parts of the body. This method can be effective in treating pain, anxiety, addiction, and other conditions.

Massage therapy is another cornerstone of the clinic's approach to holistic wellness. Deep tissue massage, designed to address muscle tension and knots, can alleviate chronic pain and improve mobility. Relaxing massage techniques, on the other hand, can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality.

Acupressure, a hands-on technique that applies pressure to specific acupuncture points, offers a drug-free approach to pain management and stress reduction. This therapeutic modality can be used to alleviate headaches, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese therapy that involves burning dried mugwort near or on acupuncture points, enhances blood flow, stimulates energy circulation, and promotes healing. Cupping, an ancient therapy that involves placing heated cups on the skin to create suction, can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Tui Na, a form of Chinese massage therapy, utilizes various techniques to manipulate the body's soft tissues, promoting health and well-being.

Treating a Wide Range of Conditions

Silver Fern Clinic utilizes its diverse range of therapeutic services to address a broad spectrum of health concerns. These include musculoskeletal pain such as back and sciatic pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries. The clinic also addresses gynecological issues including infertility, menstrual irregularities, PMS, endometriosis, menopause, and candida.

Furthermore, Silver Fern Clinic offers effective treatment options for respiratory ailments such as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, colds, and flu. Ear, nose, and throat issues, including toothaches, earaches, TMJ, and sinus problems, can also be effectively managed through TCM therapies.

Urogenital problems like UTIs, urinary issues, and prostate problems, as well as circulatory concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and poor circulation, can also be addressed.
