When Pain Takes Over, Life Shrinks.

You’ve tried medications, physical therapy, and maybe even surgery — but nothing lasts. Pain, numbness, and fatigue still keep you from the life you want. You’re tired of feeling dismissed or told, “This is just part of aging.”

The truth is: chronic pain isn’t normal. And you don’t have to live this way.

Our Services

Innovation Meets Tradition

At Athena, we blend the precision of ancient healing arts with cutting-edge medical technology to treat the root causes of pain—not just the symptoms. This powerful combination delivers results where conventional approaches often fall short.

PEMF

PEMF therapy reduces pain by recharging your body’s cells, improving circulation, and accelerating natural healing where inflammation and damage have taken hold.

FSM

Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) treats pain by delivering targeted electrical currents that reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and restore normal cellular function at the source of discomfort.

Dry Needling

Dry needling treats pain by releasing muscle knots, improving blood flow, and calming overactive nerves to restore normal movement and relieve tension at its source.

Hydrogen Therapy

Hydrogen inhalation therapy works by flooding the body with powerful antioxidants that neutralize inflammation, protect cells from damage, and support healing from chronic pain and fatigue.

Diagnostics

Chinese medicine diagnosis works by identifying the root imbalances in the body—through pulse, tongue, and symptom analysis—to create a personalized treatment plan that restores balance and promotes long-term healing.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing response—improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and restoring balance to relieve pain and boost overall health.

Progress Tracking

Tracking your progress is essential—it reveals what’s working, keeps your healing on course, and helps us fine-tune your treatment plan for lasting results.

Herbal Therapeutics

When progress feels slow, Chinese herbal formulas can accelerate healing by targeting deeper imbalances, nourishing the body from within, and enhancing the effects of your treatments.

Needle-Free Options

For those who prefer to avoid needles, we offer gentle, needle-free options that deliver powerful relief using advanced therapies—so you can heal comfortably and confidently.
