Acu-Massage is the latest health craze commonly known on the west coast. This therapeutic technique combines acupuncture needles with a 50 minute deep-tissue massage. The procedure includes a brief 5-10 minute consultation with Dr. Zach, in order to determine which conditions to treat. The most common conditions range from painful joints to stress relief. Hair-thin, disposable needles are placed in strategic points throughout the body. The needling is then followed by a 50 minute therapeutic massage. This unique and powerful combination of acupuncture and massage will bring your health and well-being to a new level.
