Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing. We treat chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, and emotional conditions like anxiety. Patients experience improved circulation and reduced inflammation through this FDA-recognized practice.
NAET Allergy Treatment
NAET combines acupressure and kinesiology to address allergies safely. This non-invasive method retrains the body's response to allergens like foods, pollen, and chemicals. Most patients see symptom reduction after 15-20 sessions targeting specific triggers.
Hormone Therapy
Our hormone balancing program addresses PMS, menopause, and andropause symptoms. We use acupuncture and herbal protocols to regulate estrogen-progesterone ratios and support adrenal function for both men and women.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping improves circulation and relieves muscle tension through controlled suction. We offer both traditional fire cupping and modern pump techniques to treat chronic pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal blends complement acupuncture treatments for digestive disorders, insomnia, and immune support. We use FDA-registered formulas containing ingredients like Xiao Chai Hu Tang and Wen Dan Tang for targeted therapeutic effects.
