Orthopedic telemedicine service for initial case review
We offer new patients a free 15-minute virtual consultation with Dr. Heide. This session provides an opportunity to discuss your health concerns and explore potential treatment options before booking a full appointment. Dr. Heide welcomes all prospective patients to learn more about sports acupuncture in a convenient, face-to-face virtual meeting.
The primary reason patients request orthopedic acupuncture at our clinic is for pain management and rehabilitation, often upon the recommendation of their primary care physician or physical therapist.
All new patients receive comprehensive case review with health advice related to sports injuries or pain.
Dry-Needling Electrotherapy (DN-ET) uses medical orthopedic acupuncture needles with electro-stimulation to produce therapeutic results for patients who experience chronic or acute pain often related to a sports injury. The primary reason patients request DN-ET at our clinic is for orthopedic pain management and rehabilitation, often upon the recommendation of their primary care physician or physical therapist.
Orthopedic Sports Acupuncture significantly expands upon fundamental Traditional Chinese Medicine. This approach applies Western biomedical knowledge to fully integrating both medical paradigms. As a result, the assessment and treatment strategies are evidence-based and highly effective for patients. The primary reason patients seek sports acupuncture is for pain management and rehabilitation.
Therapy targets movement efficiency, joint stabilization, and muscle activation patterns to support injury prevention
Our orthopedic sports massage is a form of fascia distortion release technique that is a hands-on soft tissue approach which facilitates a stretch into the restricted fascia. This is an intense treatment and is therapeutically different from a spa-style massage. This therapy is often combined with fire cupping, and is ideal for injured patients seeking targeted, evidence-based sports massage that relieves muscle tension.
Neuromuscular orthopedic exercise consultations are designed to enhance proprioception, motor control, and functional stability by improving the coordination between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to support injury prevention, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management
Orthopedic fire cupping applies brief, controlled negative pressure to the skin and underlying fascia, mechanically decompressing tissue and increasing superficial blood flow. In athletes, this helps disperse post‑exercise metabolic by‑products, modulate local inflammation, and improve fascial glide—factors associated with reduced delayed‑onset muscle soreness and faster soft‑tissue recovery. Integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan, it supports the demands of high‑intensity training.
