Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a modality that has been utilised for thousands of years.  Using thin, single use filiform needles the practitioner stimulates different energetic channels to foster balance and function within the body.  In Dr. Kyla's practice the needles are usually retained for 40-45 minutes allowing the body to relax, reset and recharge.

Cupping
Cupping is an adjunct therapy to acupuncture that is most commonly used to improve blood circulation to the tissues in order to treat trauma and pain.  Dr. Kyla uses the traditional fire cupping techniques as well as silicone cupping for the more sensitive patients.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to treatment utilizing Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. 
TCM rarely uses single herbs, rather, the practice relies on the synergy of herbs put together creating a formula, to treat what can often be regarded as complex patterns. 
​One of the beauties of this structure is that TCM doesn't treat one symptom at a time, but rather, sees how many symptoms fit together to form a pattern that can be treated with only one or two formulas. 
Traditionally, formulas were prescribed in their raw form and taken home by the patient to decoct. 
While this is a very powerful way to ingest herbal medicine, modern life often prevents us from being able to devote the time and effort into decoction. 
​Whether it be using the ancient wisdom of the classics or creating a custom formula, the formulas that are prescribed in Dr. Kyla's clinic are in granule form and are easily dosed and consumed by just adding hot water to drink like a tea.
CranioSacral Treatment and Visceral Manipulation
Picture
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

The purpose of Visceral Manipulation is to re-create, harmonize, and increase proprioceptive communication in the body to enhance its internal mechanism for better health, thereby revitalizing a person, and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture. Visceral Manipulation treats a person's functional and structural imbalances with an aim to affect their musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction.
