Neurofunctional Acupuncture
Electrical stimulation is used to induce targeted physiological changes in the nervous system, modulating its activity and enhancing communication. The therapeutic approach aims to restore balance, promote self-regulation, and optimize the body’s intrinsic healing processes across multiple systems.
Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM
With a deep appreciation for the ancient wisdom and art of acupuncture, IHG draws from a strong foundation and integrates the essence of traditional acupuncture and its techniques into treatment, which aims to both understand and treat underlying causes of imbalance. While acupuncture continues to evolve with modern science, its spirit and tradition remain as powerful and transformative today as they were centuries ago, guiding the body's innate healing process with both insight and reverence.
