Acupuncture
Acupuncture, a practice which originated over 5,000 years ago, is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. The technique utilizes fine needles placed along specific locations (meridians) on the body. This is intended to unblock the “qi” or energy and restore balance to the body. Acupuncture needles are sterile. Most practitioners in the United States (including Urban Oasis) use disposable needles.

Massage
Massage involves manipulating the client’s body with pressure, tension or motion. Target areas may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, connective tissue (fascia), as well as lymphatic vessels, and/or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Our massage therapists practice with functional, therapeutic and in some cases psychological purposes and goals.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct and comprehensive system of primary health care practiced by a naturopathic doctor for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human health conditions, injuries and diseases.
Naturopathic doctors are state-licensed practitioners who perform physical exams, order lab testing and prescribe a variety of natural treatments. These include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, hormone replacement therapy and pharmaceutical agents when warranted.
In naturopathic medicine, wellness means more than the absence of pain and disease. It’s having the energy to work and enjoy life to its fullest potential. We can help restore health by supporting the body’s inherent healing mechanisms using natural and conventional methods.
