CUPPING  is a more eastern therapy, and has been used for ages as a great method for increasing circulation. New nutrients are also brought to muscles, tendons, and ligaments thereby improving their overall health. Dr. Lorenz's patients feel great after a session of cupping. However, if you do not feel comfortable with cupping or the temporary marks it leaves please let us know. View an article on Cupping featuring Dr. Lorenz

MYOFASCIAL TOOLS  are designed for breaking down scar tissue, and reducing pain in muscles and connective tissues. After application the tendons, ligaments and muscles are more versatile and are less likely to sprain or strain. It is a great tool for injury prevention and recovery. This practice stems from "Gua sha" which has been used for centuries around the globe.

SUPPLEMENTS  are an excellent option for people whose chronic back or neck pain is not adequately controlled with pain relievers. Many dietary supplements and herbs are advertised as treatments for pain and inflammation. While some people may find herbs and supplements helpful in relieving or reducing their pain, it is important to know these are not magic pills that can cure pain or the depression that can accompany chronic or painful spine-related conditions. Dr. Lorenz has seen a lot of success with patients who take supplements in addition to their weekly treatments.
