Lauren is the best dry needler I have ever been to and I have been to a ton. She knows exactly what to do and she is really great at understanding that athletes want to get back to their training. I feel amazing after every session.

I've been seeing Lauren for the past year or so going in at least once a month to get dry needled. This is my favorite recovery modality as I get immediate feedback that it is working. Lauren is a great practitioner because she is caring, knowledgeable, and works with you throughout the session to make sure you are comfortable and getting the most out of it.

I have been going to Lauren for sports acupuncture for over a year and she has been a lifesaver! I train for Ironman triathlons and ultramarathons and seeing her for needling on a consistent basis has been one of the main reasons I have not been injured during that time. Needling has resolved any muscle aggravation I have experienced. Lauren is very knowledgeable about the muscles in the body and conducts her business professionally. I highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren is an amazing practitioner! She is so thorough in her intake process and routinely asks for updates to understand your health holistically. I saw her for 3 treatments for debilitating migraines and an ankle injury. I feel pain free now and am so thankful I found her. Will absolutely be returning for maintenance care!

Lauren is so knowledgeable and such a healer! I’ve tried many other modalities for back pain and Lauren is the only one that has really helped me. Thank you so much!

Lauren is the best acupuncturist I’ve seen and cannot recommend her enough! She has an unparalleled knowledge of anatomy and excellent palpitation skills. I was searching for a sports medicine focused acupuncturist and so happy I found her for relief from my lower back/hip/shoulder pain from years of cycling and office work.

I have been seeing Lauren for sports acupuncture for over a year through multiple shoulder dislocations and a shoulder surgery, and she has been a critical factor in each of those recoveries! I feel, see, and measure significant improvements after every session. I highly recommend seeing her for treating injuries, improving functional range of motion, and generally feeling much better!

I have had chronic shoulder problems for 4 years and Lauren is one of the only practitioners I can count on to give me relief and calm my neck and shoulder down.
She is knowledgeable, combines all her skills into a well-rounded treatment, and gets athletes back in the game quicker.

When I first met Lauren, I had been switching physical therapists as well as chiropractors for 5+ years with no relief or progress in sight. She took my history into account(trauma body) and we started with small baby steps. One thing that stood out was she was also educating me in each our sessions which lead to a massive empowerment for myself.
1.7 years and I have seen such a massive progress in physical and emotional health. I am pretty sure I would have been lost and still in a lot of pain without her.
I am continuing my work with her and very optimistic to have a pain free and functional body

Lauren did an amazing job of dry needling my back. I have suffered from big knots in my upper back for many years and have been to many different dry needling specialists. None have done it as thorough and effective as Lauren. I highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren is simply the best! She is not only incredibly smart and talented, but she also truly cares about her patients improvements , health and overall wellbeing. She has done more for me physically in 6 weeks of treatments than traditional medicine has done in over 2 years of treating my physical ailments. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Lauren is simply the best! She really cares about getting you healthy and pain free as soon as possible. As a sprinter, I get injuries in my legs, which used to take several PT sessions to recover from, but with Lauren's care and knowledge, it only takes me one to two sessions to feel completely healed. I have been to other acupuncturists, but nobody has been able to get me to recover as quickly as she does, which saves a lot of time and money! She really is a gem! She goes above and beyond!

Sports Acupuncture
Sports (orthopedic) acupuncture is an acupuncture speciality. We utilize orthopedic acupuncture techniques, which includes dry needling (also known as trigger point acupuncture) in combination with neuro-acupuncture and electro-acupuncture approaches for chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions, sports or overuse injuries, nerve impingement, complications from motor vehicle accidents, muscle sprains, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and the list goes on.
-

Dry Needling
Dry needling, also known as trigger point acupuncture, falls within the realm of orthopedic acupuncture and is very effective at resolving myofascial pain and preventing and speeding recovery from injuries. Acupuncture needles are used to release trigger points or knots in muscles that develop with overuse, repetitive motion or injuries. This technique is very effective in reducing pain, improving muscle strength, condition and performance. There will be some sensation with this procedure, but most people say the benefits far outweigh any discomfort felt during treatment. I always work with the patient and adjust my technique to ensure you are most comfortable during the treatment.

Neuropuncture™
Neuropucture is a research supported neuroscience-electroacupuncture system. We utilize specific frequencies to target various parts of the nervous system for neurorehabilitation. Specific neuropeptides are released, dysfunctional autonomic relfexes are regulated and specific regions of the brain and CNS are rehabilitated with specific electroacupuncture frequencies. The nueroscience of acupuncture shows us how to successfully treat a variety of conditions ranging from hormonal imbalances, depression/ anxiety, insomnia, neurodegenerative diseases and digestive complaints.
