Our Approach & Unique Values
At Megan Richardson Wellness, we use functional screening, acupuncture, manual therapy, essential oils, and tailored exercises to address both acute and chronic injuries. Collaborating with you, we develop a personalized plan to ensure a prompt and effective return to your activities.
Orthopedic sessions integrate multiple acupuncture styles, uniquely blending musculoskeletal trigger point therapy, motor point stimulation, and injury treatment within the framework of Chinese Medicine. We directly target trigger points by stimulating dysfunctional muscles, a technique known as dry needling.
Our approach incorporates diverse manual therapy techniques (like tui na, cupping, gua sha, Graston, myofascial release, massage and more) and therapeutic exercise methods. Combining acupuncture and manual therapy in this manner accelerates injury recovery and boosts performance by optimizing the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, balancing the immune system, reducing anxiety and stress, and improving sleep. This holistic approach ensures your body functions at its best.
