Enjoy Holistic Health
Miranda offers a range of holistic options to stop pain, help people optimize their health, perform at their best, and/or simply "be here," comfortably, in the "now". Pain relief can include acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, focused medical massage within East Asian medicine practice and including a press-stroking technique called Gua Sha, using muscle testing to identify your exact needs. Why are Acupuncture, BioField testing and Nutrition Response Testing (tm) done with muscle testing? The reason is that sometimes the body fools our health care providers. The Emergency department says you're not having a heart attack but it feels like it. The doctor says you don't have a neck problem but it hurts. To not be fooled by symptoms, we have to understand that pain is the body telling us something. There is something going on when your (chest, neck, etc) hurts. "The scans show nothing" does not mean there is nothing. The cause of the pain may be stress affecting your cells, the problem foods you are feeding your thyroid, for example; or at the tendon level, how you're holding incorrect posture. With muscle testing, MIranda can determine the best approach, with or without acupuncture points, and what minor adjustments to your meals would allow your body to heal itself naturally. With gua sha press-stroking, you get upregulation of anti-inflammatory heme oxidase 1 enzyme in exactly the right locations.
What about muscle testing with acupuncture, you ask? Miranda once muscle tested someone who did not tell her about a dislocation injury as they wanted her to focus on their migraines. With muscle testing, the body directed Miranda to a shoulder, between two acupuncture channels, to needle an exact special tender point. Miranda had never needled that point for migraines before, she told them, only for shoulder and hip injuries. Their unstable shoulder needed attention. Miranda also used fewer pins/acupuncture points, only three, because with muscle testing she ruled out unnecessary points. Interestingly this patient's body also asked for tuning forks, which offer light acupressure with vibration. Vibrations can open the extra vessels* in a unique way, and this patient had suffered lifelong anxiety. Anxiety could be a symptom of mild thyroid (heart/emotional) imbalance, even when a blood test has shown normal hormone levels. Small adjustments can calm a thyroid (heart/anxiety).
Another patient had strained the area of their rib cage and shoulder lifting a child. They had already been checked for a heart attack. Miranda worked hard questioning each muscle test, and determined they only needed one acupoint near their collarbone, a point at the base of their skull, on their right foot, and one small whole food vitamin C pill, a Standard Process "Cataplex C" per day, presumably for rebuilding injured rib fascia with the collagen already present in their meals. Miranda's patients of all ages enjoy a relationship with a provider with over 25 years of experience to address their health issues through personalized nutrition plans, designed clinical nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and education. Miranda empowers clients to take control of their well-being and achieve their health, physical and mental performance, and life goals.

PAIN RELIEF with High Point Health
CUPPING and GUA SHA

CUPPING and GUA SHA
Cupping involves the use of specially designed cups placed on the skin to create a gentle vacuum effect. Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted press-stroking. These techniques relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and aid in temperature regulation. Modern research shows gua sha produces an anti-inflammatory and immune protective effect that persists for days following a single gua sha treatment. This accounts for its effect on pain, stiffness, fever, chill, cough, wheeze, nausea, vomiting etc., and why gua sha is effective in acute and chronic internal organ disorders including liver inflammation. An information sheet about gua sha can be found here.

CUPPING and GUA SHA
Acupuncture is a healing art that involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine needles into points on the body that work "like circuit breakers in your home". This precise technique stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Sometimes patients need more support for their conditions. Miranda offers instruction in the use of "moxa" in the form of cigars or stick-on cones to heal joints, turn breech babies, stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and stop pain at home. Traditional diagnostic techniques and BioField testing can also point to critical nutritional deficiencies including dehydration, lifestyle issues like lack of sleep or movement, and the need for gradual dietary adjustments you can make at home. Find motivation to live your best life. The cost of a basic nutritional evaluation in the clinic is $70 plus $25 - $50 for supplements. Phone consultations, (30 minutes) can be arranged with team Miranda & Emily for $109 plus supplements.
