CAROL GREENE ACUPUNCTURE AND BODYWORK
Acupuncture
Based upon your needs, Acupuncture points will be selected to assist your body in healing. My goal is to help relieve your pain and improve your sense of well-being.
I primarily have an Orthopedic approach, targeting specific areas of pain, while utilizing my experience in Bodywork to relieve muscle tightness that often accompanies the issue.
I have studied Sports Acupuncture (which some people consider similar to Physical Therapists' Dry Needling) and the Five Needle Protocol used for PTSD and Detox. My primary training, however, was in Five Element Acupuncture, which has a more wholistic and constitutional approach to wellness and is exceptional at reaching underlying causes of imbalance on an Emotional and Physical Level.
25 Years Experience in
Trigger Point Therapy and
Deep Tissue Massage
Whether it is with hands-on massage or in the selection of acupuncture points, Trigger Point Therapy is the foundation of most of my treatments.
I often relieve these Trigger Points or release the fascial restrictions in the area of pain before inserting any needles. I do not offer massage-only treatments anymore, however. After 25 years of bodywork, I am now saving my hands for targeted treatment areas.
Since the beginning of my massage career in the Physical Therapy department at our local hospital in the late 1990's, I have been passionate about Orthopedic Bodywork. In an attempt to prolong my career and use my experience to continue helping people, I went back to school for 3 years and in 2015 added acupuncture to my toolbox. As I assess a person's issues, I am always overlaying different "maps" of the body, as well as Eastern versus Western perspectives to find the right approach to treatment for the individual before me. Each person, and therefore each session, is different.
