 "I recommend Carola and her clinic because I appreciate the professionalism of her co-workers and their sincere desire to help with our aches and pains.  After my first visit, I hadn't realized that I was bouncing up the stairs at work without pain.  I'd forgotten what it was like."

Interested in Learning How to Treat Trigger Points?
 

In Hood River, we will be holding a Trigger Point Workshop on Monday, July 30th, starting at 7pm.

 

This workshop is a fantastic opportunity for our existing clients, and one which you will want to share with your friends and family members.

 

This is a stress reduction workshop which we encourage our clients to attend. At the workshop those attending will learn about a home care treatment program called Trigger Point Therapy.
 

As tension builds up in our muscles there is a need to release that tension, which can be achieved through Tripper Point Therapy. We have found clients who attend this workshop, then who practice the Trigger Point Therapy, can respond to Acupuncture treatments faster, get better results and in turn, save money!

 

To be beneficial, the treatment program needs to be done at home, or work, at least three days a week, for five minutes.

 

Trigger Point Therapy is something that cannot be done on oneself, thus you are encouraged to bring one, or more, partners with you to learn how to do it. The workshop lasts about an hour. It will be a fun, and it is offered free of charge! Please call us to day to reserve your places for our workshop at 541-387-4325 or 541-298-2378.

CLINIC NEWS & NOTES

 

Welcome to our newest team member:

Brittani Dowse, ND, LAc


 
 
Brittani Dowse, ND, LAc

 

My life before Oregon was spent split between Salt Lake City, Utah, and Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona.  My strong interest and passion for the health sciences, wellness, and healthy living drew me to Portland to study natural medicine.

 

I attended the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, first studying only Naturopathic Medicine until I fell head-over-heels for Chinese Medicine and its amazing healing capabilities, as well.  I eventually graduated with both degrees in Naturopathic Medicine and Classical Chinese Medicine, and I constantly experience first-hand and through many others the countless benefits of these wonderful forms of medicine.
 

I love this opportunity of being an Acupuncturist alongside this caring team of amazing professionals and clients, and my intention is that we all work and weave together to establish a healthy and healing space for as many people as we can.

FeatureStoryFEATURE  STORY

 

Praise for Acupuncture from Shape Magazine
 
Shape magazine recently published the article "Why Every Busy Woman Should Try Acupuncture". 
 

It was written by a woman who tried Acupuncture for the first time because she was 'curious'.  What did she experience? She found Acupuncture provided her relief from anxiety, TMJ, various aches and she claimed Acupuncture kept her healthy all year!  The story also lists good reasons why every busy woman should try Acupuncture. Some of those include:
1) Prevention - The use of Acupuncture to stay healthy.
2) Stress Relief.
3) To offset the effects of aging.
 
Are you interested in addressing your own health concerns, in a natural way?
Give us a call at 541-387-4325 or 541-298-2378 to schedule an appointment this week!
