Specific Prone Technique

Acupuncture
The perfect adjunct to your chiropractic care, we use acupuncture for meridian balance, symptom relief and many organic health complaints.
Auriculotherapy
This is similar to ear acupuncture but it uses no needles. An electro-microcurrent stimulator is placed on reflex and meridian points ouside the ear. This input then sends a message to the brain based on the location of the reflex point being treated.
