Orthopedic Acupuncture 

Nicole completed training in Sports Medicine Acupuncture by Acusport/California with Matt Callison.  In an Orthopedic Acupuncture session, we focus on dry needling, muscle releasing and strengthening, healing injury and reducing pain.  A session may consist of the following - Postural Assessment, Muscle Testing, Acupuncture treatment, Myofascial release with the understanding of Anatomy Trains, and Corrective Exercises, which may include Exercises much like Yoga Postures.  The Corrective Exercises/Yoga Postures are intended to help the patient to continue to strengthen and stretch between sessions and after an injury has healed and to bring the body into proper alignment to prevent future injury.  The Sports Medicine Acupuncture program is a rigorous one year program consisting of post graduate classes and testing listed below.

Women's Health

Nicole provides a comfortable, safe environment where all women are supported.  She has successfully treated many women for Fertility, Prenatal Acupuncture, PostPartum, is certified in Prenatal Yoga and is a DONA trained Doula.  Within treatments for women's health, we offer Labor Preparation Treatment 1 week prior to your due date, and Prebirth Acupuncture.  PreBirth Acupuncture are a set of four treatments given during the typical last four weeks of pregnancy (36-40 weeks).  There have been studies showing that pregnant women who have PreBirth Acupuncture treatments have a lowered bishop score and a faster labor time.  Women, especially during pregnancy, wish to take less over the counter medications, like painkillers for headaches and nausea medications.   Nicole is grateful to be able to provide a safe alternative for conditions such as headaches, anxiety, nausea, morning sickness,  back pain, constipation and sinus congestion.  Nicole has taken the following classes with amazing women who are working in the women's health acupuncture field.
