Cupping, Gua Sha, Dry Needling Combination

This is a popular option for patients who love a little bit of everything but don’t need a comprehensive acupuncture treatment. This combination offers cupping and/or gua sha plus dry needling. It’s ideal for treating acute injuries, upper back or neck tension – or when you just feel like you need a quick reboot.

This appointment includes a medical intake and the application of hot packs and a Theragun™ treatment to break up soft tissue adhesions and reduce muscular tension.

Real Patients,

Real Results

Dr. Riley is professional but at the same time warm, kind and compassionate. He skillfully relaxed my upper back muscles with dry needling and cupping. I felt deep relaxation at each appointment, which also helped treat my PTSD from a car accident and brought me back to wholeness. His passion and deep knowledge of acupuncture will erase ANY fear you may have about it and even get you excited about what he does!

Let’s Get to Know Each Other Better

I get asked all the time about how I got into this work. For me, it really comes down to my parents and how I grew up.

My father played in the NFL and was a collegiate football coach. Growing up around athletic trainers, sports medicine doctors and performance nutrition was the norm for me. Today, focusing part of my practice on sports medicine and pain management is a natural fit.

My mother was a weekend-warrior athlete and also had that type-A force-of-nature personality. She also dealt with crippling anxiety – something I inherited but thankfully have learned how to manage. Today, I am passionate about sharing my anxiety and stress management knowledge with my patients through acupuncture, functional medicine and health coaching.

Most importantly, I was encouraged by my family to pursue a profession where I had the opportunity to serve and give back to others. I knew I had the support of my parents to follow my dreams. If you’re a parent reading this, I encourage you to foster your children’s natural talents and help them find a career that feeds their souls and brings them joy.

Did your parents encourage you to pursue a career path or support your exploration of your natural talents and interests?
