Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture (TCM)
Eliminate the cause of your pain and restore your body to balance. Acupuncture is an integral part of the Chinese Medicine system of healthcare. Acupuncture is currently practiced in every country in North America, Europe, and Asia. Acupuncture is one the fastest growing alternative medicine treatments because of its reported success and growing body of scientific evidence.
Chinese Medicine understands the body as a interconnected network of channels of energy. When a channel becomes blocked, the result is an experience of pain and weakness. Sterile, medical-grade acupuncture needles are inserted into specific locations in the body to remove stuck energy and relieve pain - whether chronic pain or referred pain.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture is the therapy of choice in China for pain relief - chosen more frequently than modern Western medicine. Acupuncture acts quickly and with no side effects because it corrects the underlying cause of your pain.

Chronic Pain
For chronic pain conditions, Inner Light Wellness offers three Structural Balancing therapies. These therapies - Myoskeletal Alignment, St. John Neuromuscular Therapy, and Myofascial Release – are corrective techniques that address the cause of most chronic pain issues – your posture!
Structural Balancing
Several pain relief techniques combined into a one effective therapy. Structural Balancing Massage is a combination of several massage therapy techniques that address the root causes of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Structural balancing massage focuses on various components of your body including muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and joints.
Consider structural balancing massage therapy if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Chronic pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Injury
- Poor posture
- Tingling/Numbness
- Accidents
- Scoliosis
- Scar tissue
St. John's Neuromuscular Therapy
Pain relief for posture problems. St. John Neuromuscular Therapy is a form of structural massage that addresses the postural causes of your pain. A thorough postural analysis is performed to determine what areas of your body are contributing to your discomfort. Trigger point massage, myofascial release, and stretching are utilized to bring postural balance and alleviate pain.
St. John Neuromuscular Massage Therapy was developed by Paul St. John and relies upon the foundational work of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David Simons. Dr. Janet Travell was the first female physician in the White House serving during the Kennedy and Johnson era because of the pain relief she provided John F. Kennedy in 1955 when he suffered from chronic back pain. Dr. Janet Travell devoted her life to the research and treatment of pain relief and trigger points, publishing the definitive manual at the age of 82, after 40 years of experience and research.
I draw on the expertise of Dr. Janet Travell and subsequent myofascial and trigger point experts when treating you for your chronic pain conditions. St John Neuromuscular Therapy is particularly successful for treating chronic pain, back pain, low back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, neck pain, tension headaches, and migrane headaches.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Pain Relief for tight muscles and painful knots. Myofascial Release Therapy treats the fascia or connective tissue of the body to relieve pain. Fascia wraps and infuses every structure of your body including muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones. It is even found beneath and through the skin. Fascia becomes 'glued' due to postural disturbances, aging, injuries, and surgeries. Scar tissue is made of fascia and is formed whenever fascia is torn or disconnected, such as during a surgery or when you injure a tendon or muscle. Even postural distortion creates microscopic tearing in the fascia.
Myofascial Release is the perfect therapy to address the connective tissue aspects of pain due to postural distortion and scar tissue from surgery or injury.
Myoskeletal Alignment Technique (MAT)
Pain relief with stretching and muscle manipulation. Myoskeletal Alignment Technique provides bodywork solutions for chronic pain, motion restricted tissues and joints, and postural distortion. A combination of deep myofascial bodywork and muscle lengthening through active resisted stretching techniques. Myoskeletal Alignment Technique restores pain free motion and postural integrity.
Myoskeletal Alignment Technique is an active, client-participation therapy where resisted stretching is used to mobilize joints . As the involved muscles are being stretched you resist the stretch by actively contracting against applied pressure.
Myoskeletal Alignment Technique is an effective technique for shoulder pain, sciatica, low back, neck, and knee pain, hip pain and leg pain.
