Done by hand without the use of medications, allowing the body to heal itself.

If you are continually getting hurt and taking time away from your sport, maybe rest time is not the fix.  Maybe you aren't moving in a way that is effective and efficient for your body.  Dr. Karla will take a deeper look at the way you move to assess what movement abnormalities you might be facing and help to address them through corrective exercises.  Whether or not you are in pain or free of pain, improving movement can improve your performance.

Dr. Karla will get to the root of your problem and takes the time to treat you the way you deserve.  She formulated her practice based off of the type of work she does with all of the professional athletes she treats.

HSA or Flex card can not be used for direct payment for this membership but I can submit my receipts to my HSA or Flex as applicable after care has been rendered. The Sports Performance Care treatments can not be submitted through medicare.  If I suffer an injury I will notify the doctor and I will be treated for that injury and may be billed for injury based care, pay at the time of service, and that bill may be submitted to my health insurance for reimbursement.  Injury based care that is paid for seperately will not affect the treatment total on the membership based care plan.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

​

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

​

In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.

Dry needling, also known as myofascial trigger point dry needling. It is also known as intramuscular stimulation. It involves the use of either solid filiform needles or hollow-core hypodermic needles for therapy of muscle pain, including pain related to myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling is mainly used to treat myofascial trigger points, but it is also used to target connective tissue, neural ailments, and muscular ailments. 

Dr. Karla is certified in numerous myofascial release therapies and she will choose which one is the best for your body and your goals.  This may vary as your body recovers and improves.
