Clinical acupuncture, originating from traditional Chinese medicine, is a therapeutic technique that has gained recognition in contemporary healthcare settings worldwide. It revolves around the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. These points are believed to be connected by energy pathways, known as meridians, through which vital energy or Qi flows. The primary objective of clinical acupuncture is to restore the balance of Qi within the body. Disruptions or imbalances in this energy flow are thought to contribute to a wide range of physical and emotional ailments. By stimulating these points strategically, acupuncturists aim to promote natural healing processes and alleviate various symptoms.

TMJ massage focuses on the temporomandibular joint, which is the joint connecting your jaw to your skull. The massage involves gentle manipulation of the muscles around the jaw and the temporomandibular joint itself to alleviate tension, reduce pain, and improve jaw mobility. It's like a soothing reset button for your jaw, easing the discomfort that can come from issues like clenching, grinding, or TMJ disorders.

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema often affects people recovering from breast cancer surgery.

Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.

The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system's process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell.

A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.
