OUR SERVICES
Acupuncture
Thin, non-invasive needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate specific meridians and muscles related to your condition. Great for muscle pain, insomnia, migraines, stress, digestion, fertility/hormones and much more.
Cupping
Glass cups are placed on the body to create localized suction of the skin. This stimulates fascia and muscles, bringing adequate blood flow to the area.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation and promote healing. The word “gua” means “scrape” and “sha” refers to the redness or petechiae that appear on the skin as a result of the scraping process.
Tui Na
An Eastern form of massage that incorporates manual techniques to release muscles, improve blood flow, circulate lymph, and increase performance.
Qigong
Qigong (pronounced “chi gung”) is a traditional Chinese practice that involves coordinated movements, breathing techniques, and meditation. It is designed to cultivate and balance the body’s vital energy, known as qi.

“After a session with Carson, I experienced greatly reduced back and neck pain and now feel taller, straighter and so much lighter! Carson found and released tensions I didn’t even realize I was holding. In these days of too much cell phone/screen time, it’s easy to get out-of-whack. Carson at Inertia Acupuncture provides a wonderful, effective, safe, comfortable modality towards optimal wellness. “

“My experience at Inertia Acupuncture has been wholly positive. Carson is very knowledgeable about the meridian system. He quickly located and relieved several areas of tension over just a few sessions. Most notably, I experienced significantly more restful sleep following my treatments at Inertia. “
