Acupuncture

Based on accumulated knowledge of over 4000 years of healing tradition, acupuncture is designed for treating the individual in the moment for any ailment they may be suffering. Dr. Hoover is trained in a lineage of Classical Chinese Medicine that is rooted in healing the mind, body, and spirit. With a gentle approach, he strives to maximized comfort for the patient to create a relaxed healing environment where real change can take place.

Acupuncture works by using points along our fascial system that have a heightened electrical conductivity. By tapping into the body’s innate electrical field, messages of healing can ripple through the body targeting anything from muscles and organs, to fluids and lymph.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a tradition spanning back to the stone age that is still applicable today to release tight muscles and bring new blood flow to the area. Stones, bones, and ceramic spoons are used to scrape the muscles and fascial binding areas. The “Sha” or petechiae that is seen after scrapping is “old blood” held in tight or knotted muscles that will usually go away within three days after treatment. As the old stagnation is detoxified by the body, new fluids are drawn in to keep the muscle relaxed and nourished. Commonly used on the neck, shoulders, back, buttock, arms, and legs to created lasting relief from tension and pain.

Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim)

E-Stim is used in recovery from sports injuries, physical trauma, neuropathy, chronic pain, spasms, and lack of blood flow. It combines the classical positioning of acupuncture with the modern practice of using electrical impulses to reawaken muscles and organs of the body. This allows a deeper and more targeted reaction to E-Stim than the typically used pads on the surface of the skin.

Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine over 3000 years of clinical based evidence. Chinese herbal formulas are compounded using several herbs in one delivery system to make a medicine that rebalances the whole body system instead of focusing on one piece of the puzzle. Herbs are used internally as teas, pills, and tinctures and topically as liniments, salves, plasters, and soaks. This diverse pharmacopeia allows treatment of almost any condition.

Diet therapy is implemented via food recommendations of what to incorporate or avoid in daily life to support the body in its return to homeostasis. Dr. Hoover is a firm believer that food and our relationship with it can be thy medicine.

Tui Na

Tui Na translates to “push and grasp” referring to a simple and ancient, yet effective form of massage. This form of massage differs by using concepts of Qi Gong to affect the Qi or energy dynamic of the body. The practitioner using their wisdom of how Qi has become excess or deficient in an area, can use massage techniques to reestablish equilibrium in the area. This in turn relaxes the entire fascial and musculoskeletal system, helping the body to realign. This form of massage is typically gentle and meditative for the patient.

Diet Therapy

Diet therapy is implemented via food recommendations of what to incorporate or avoid in daily life to support the body in its return to homeostasis. Dr. Hoover is a firm believer that food and our relationship with it can be thy medicine. It is encouraged to eat from trusted food sources, minimize or eliminate processed foods, and take in your food with intention, knowing that it will become a part of your body. Through these practices and eating what our body needs, we can create a healthy, vibrant vessel.

Cupping

Cupping, originally a folk medicine in China, uses suction along with glass, plastic, bamboo, or metal cups on the body. It is now commonly used to relieve muscle tension, pain, fluid accumulation, and lung issues. Often used in sports medicine and rehabilitation to move out old stagnation, loosen muscles, break up fascia, and bring in new nourishment to the area. This process detoxifies the surrounding tissues and can alleviate swelling. By moving fluids the lymphatic and immune systems can be stimulated, treating lung ailments such as common colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia. A treatment modality in itself, most people find cupping very therapeutic and relaxing.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is the application of infrared light and heat using compressed dry-aged Mugwort to stimulate areas on the body similar to acupuncture. Similar to the relaxing warmth of a fire, the steady burning rhythm of Mugwort enhances the therapeutic use of heat to disperse blockages in the system and promote healthy flow of Blood and Qi through the channels. Moxa treats poor circulation, muscle tightness, neuropathy, and so much more. The earliest texts in Chinese Medicine dating back to 100-200 BC suggest most treatments implemented Moxa and needles in conjunction. It is rumored that moxibustion preceded and led to the idea of acupuncture.

Qi Gong - Exercise - Lifestyle

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese art designed to align the body, create healthy postural habits, practice mindfulness, and reconnect us with our selves and the earth. Qi is the universal intelligent, vital energy that causes all things to function, while Gong means to work or cultivate. Therefore, Qi Gong is the practice of cultivating and working our energy so we know how to hold and use it properly within our bodies. The practice creates more vitality, resilience, and balance to the body as a whole. Entire medical facilities in China are dedicated to healing through Qi Gong.
