Natural light floods into A & B Creative Looks, illuminating canary-yellow tiles and tan walls emblazoned with a floral pink stripe. Since opening the studio in 2010, its aesthetics professionals have treated men and women with environmentally conscious salon and spa services.

Innercore Health's team of fully registered and licensed therapists diminishes body discomfort, enriches epidermises, and unburdens backs with its array of acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. Extremely thin needles slide into skin during relaxation acupuncture, flooding bodies with dull or tingling sensations that reduce inflammation, headaches, and fear of haystack exploration. After pinpointing areas of concern during a consultation, cosmetic acupuncture reduces aging signs by inserting ultrathin, stainless-steel needles into faces, stimulating circulation and minimizing fine lines during 45- to 60-minute sessions. Doctors assess medical histories and complete physical exams to determine individual client vertebral issues before administering an up to one-hour chiropractic-therapy treatment that corrects spinal misalignments and relieves pain in necks or lower backs. With smoothed skin and straightened spines, patrons depart Innercore Health with more youthful radiance, taller presences, and the newfound ability to balance the complete works of Charles Dickens on their heads.

As a certified strength and conditioning specialist, Dr. Croy uses natural treatment techniques to assist patients in harnessing their own natural healing tigers, which guide the way towards optimum health and prey. Her research can be found in the Journal of Chiropractic Education, alongside several articles on why patients should not take their brother-in-law up on his offer of lawn-dart home acupuncture.

Omega Laser's specialists combine acupuncture techniques with modern technology in an effort to balance the flow of energy between the meridians of the body. During smoking-cessation treatments, low-level lasers target trigger points on the hands, ears, and face, which releases endorphins that can significantly lessen symptoms of withdrawal and physical cravings. Technicians also provide guidance for clients hoping to master the psychological urge to light up.
