Why Our Natural Treatment Works So Well for

Various Types and Causes of Pain:

 

 

Address the root cause

The process includes finding and attacking the actual root cause of your problem. Therefore, so many have found relief with our treatments, even though other therapies didn’t work. Even those with long term, severe pain have experienced significant relief.

We use an all-natural approach that your doctor doesn’t know about

Your doctor may have told you that you will have to live with your problem, stay on medication to help alleviate the pain, or that “this is as good as it gets”. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a treatment, it just means your doctor has run out of ideas, or there aren’t conventional treatments available. We have found that many people who don’t respond well to conventional treatments often respond very well to our natural approach.

We help you awaken your body’s natural healing system

Despite what you have been led to believe, your body is not “broken” and is possible to have range of motion, comfort, and joy again. That’s because your body never forgets how to heal itself. It just needs the right support. Your body makes its own internal anti-inflammatory substances and medicines, and our therapies help it do just that.

We keep it simple and results are quick

Feeling better and reducing or eliminating pain, tenderness, weakness, limited rang of motion, and other symptoms and effects of chronic pain does not have to be difficult or take a long time. Our natural therapies, along with simple targeted lifestyle changes, and herbal therapies are very clear and concise way to attack the problems head on, and patients often experience additional benefits of treatments as well, including reduced stress, improved sleep, and increase in energy.

Here’s How Our Specialized Combination of Very Potent 100% Natural Therapies Work to Bring the Body to Heal Itself

 

(Each treatment consists of an Acupuncture treatment on both sides of the body combined with additional therapies of Cupping, Gua Sha, and Moxibustion as needed based on each individual’s personal presentation at time of treatment. Herbal therapies along with relaxation and stress reduction techniques are also implemented according to a person’s needs.)

 

GENTLE ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body’s innate healing process. Then, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues, treating the root cause of a person’s health problems, thus its ability to help you achieve a better state of health.

 

CUPPING

Cupping is a form of decompressive therapy that can be used in conjunction with acupuncture treatments. It helps to promote microcirculation to help alleviate pain and promote the release of toxins from the body as part of the body’s natural healing process.

 

GUA SHA

Gua Sha is a manual form of therapy that involves applying gentle sustained pressure along the skin with a specialized tool. While it works in a similar fashion to cupping to help promote microcirculation, it also helps to break up scar tissue and connective tissue to help reduce pain and inflammation while increasing mobility.

 

MOXIBUSTION

Moxibustion is the use of the Chinese herb, Ai Ye, commonly known as Chinese mugwort, which is burnt on or near the skin. It is an effective form of therapy at relieving pain, promoting circulation, and even reducing swelling and inflammation.

 

HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat a patient’s underlying condition that can contribute to pain, stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and tension.

 

RELAXATION & STRESS REDUCTION

When your nervous system is calm, the hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means a more focused mind, more resilient immune system, less inflammation, better circulation, and optimal nutrient absorption.

Here’s How We Help You Achieve Relief

from Your Pain

Free Initial Consultation

 

At your free consultation you will meet the doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to discuss your case, your medical history, and medications you’re taking, and most importantly YOUR GOALS. Dr. Katrina Giangarra, DACM, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. wants you to be certain that her treatment protocol is going to meet your needs and that there is a HIGH probability of success for you – BEFORE we move forward to the next step.

Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan

Once your FREE consultation is complete, and we agree to move forward, your next step is the intake appointment. At this appointment, Dr. Giangarra will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of attack.

Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time along with the necessary therapies to support the treatment such as cupping, moxibustion, or gua sha. You will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan will include dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as key herbal formulas to address the root of YOUR pain.

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive effects of the therapy targeting towards relieving pain and strengthening your body’s natural healing mechanisms to combat your chronic pain. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding expected results:

Decreased pain

Increased mobility

Reduced tenderness

Improved sleep

Better quality of life

Transitional Care as Things Stabilize

 

Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits. This usually occurs after about 8-12 visits. Initially you’ll come every other week, then once a month for a couple visits, then you will no longer need regular treatments.

We’ll be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other concerns.

Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish.

Taking Care of Your Friends and Loved Ones

We pride ourselves in the fact that many of our patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work.

So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.

"I can’t say enough about Katrina and her skills as an acupuncturist. I had major scoliosis surgery done 8yrs ago. Since then I have been suffering with daily pain in my SI joint area. I decided to try acupuncture to see if it could help. By my second appointment I was feeling like a different person. I literally had no pain in that area! Although I need to keep up with my treatment I can honestly say that was the first time I didn’t feel pain in years! I highly recommend seeing Katrina. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding Eastern medicine and it’s also an opportunity to relax and recharge in a soothing environment."

"It was about twenty-four hours after my first experience with Acupuncture to combat chronic allergies and rhinitis when noticed I hadn't sneezed in that amount of time.  She said it would help, and she knows what she's talking about and what she's doing!  Thanks, K!"

 

- Ned B.

Personalized Care With Outstanding Results

 

 

"Katrina is a wealth of information and compassion. I first visited her acupuncture studio on a recommendation from a friend. I had never tried acupuncture and cupping before, but a testy elbow problem had been keeping me up at night. More than relieving the pain associated with the elbow, I needed to get a good night’s sleep again! After my first treatment, the pain abated, and mobility and strength improved progressively week after week. I’d say by the third or fourth weekly session the elbow was a non-issue. I continue to go to Katrina at Karma Zen for general wellness. I always leave much calmer and more collected than when I arrive."

 

- Jen M.

Personalized Care With Outstanding Results

 

 

"Kat is amazing! She has helped with a variety of different health issues I was having like pain and anxiety. Now I am feeling SO much better, my life has really transformed for the better and I really owe it to the treatments and Kat's attentive and geunine care."

"As somewhat of a  "newbie" to the practice I was not sure what to expect from the session(s). I am now months into my scheduled weekly sessions and can feel the positive effects from those. Originally, the minor to worse aches and pains (hips, back, shoulders) were my focus in the treatment plan that Katrina helped me with. Now those  aches are minimizing. What I didn't expect  was how I responded to how acupuncture in the mental side of therapy, a sort of energy and mental shifting treatment. I love  how it helps me handle stress, to relax, motivating me in my exercise regimens and overall, the calming effects it supports and promotes. Katrina is a gifted practioner and is awesome!!Thanks! Mike"
