Get rid of your pain.
Headache?Muscle tension headaches are the most common form of headache and usually involve neck and shoulder pain. A headache can result from muscle cramps in the shoulder, neck and facial area. Stress, poor posture and dysfunction of the cervical spine can serve to maintain a vicious cycle of pain.

Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome?
Acute sciatica is very rare. Piriformis syndrome is more common and has similar symptoms as acute sciatica. Piriformis syndrome can cause the sciatic nerve to become trapped deep in the buttock by the piriformis muscle, causing pain that radiates from the buttock area down into the lower leg. With proper treatment the pain can be eliminated quickly.

Laser Acupuncture
Proven more effective than traditional acupuncture with needles.
Can be used to treat pain. Calms and balances the body by helping to maintain hormone balance, strengthening the immune system, and increasing mental function by improving metabolism and cerebral circulation. In addition, laser acupuncture can speed up recovery of mobility by stimulating nerve activity. Perfect for those who have a fear of needles. Excellent for treating fatigue. |
I have worked as a Doctor of Naprapathy since 1995. I speak Finnish, Swedish and English.

Doctor of NaprapathyThe term Naprapath is derived from the words napravit (Czech.) and pathos (Greek) to repair the cause of the illness.
Doctors of Naprapathy require four years of university education. Schools are in Sweden, USA and Finland. National Board of Medical Legal Affairs issues licenses to trained DNs. DN’s are obligated by law to have insurance for the patient and malpractice insurance. DN’s treat vertebrae, joints and muscles, restoring the normal function of the spine by mobilization and/or manipulation. Trigger points pressure is used to restore muscles' normal function. |
A DN will give you excellent care
The treatment techniques are efficient due to the many options available in therapy. The DN will carefully explain the causes of the pain to help you understand the treatment and reactions of the body. In addition, you get a muscle-strengthening booklet which shows you how to continue the exercises at home.
