Services
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture uses fine needles to balance energy flow and treat various conditions. Our practitioners combine this ancient practice with modern diagnostics to address chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that integrate with other therapies for comprehensive care.
Microcurrent Therapy
This FDA-cleared treatment uses low-level electrical currents to modulate brain activity and reduce pain. Scientific studies show its effectiveness for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Our protocol combines it with acupuncture for enhanced results, particularly in treating mood disorders and chronic pain conditions.
Graston Therapy
Using specialized stainless steel tools, we detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. This technique effectively addresses chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and range-of-motion limitations. Common applications include carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and post-surgical scar tissue management.
Cupping Therapy
Ancient Chinese cupping creates therapeutic suction to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. We apply this technique to treat deep tissue pain and complement acupuncture sessions. Patients often experience immediate relief from chronic muscle tightness and associated discomfort.
Gua Sha
This traditional East Asian technique uses controlled skin stroking to release blood stagnation. We employ it to treat acute infections, respiratory issues, and chronic pain conditions. The treatment promotes circulation and metabolic processes while providing immediate symptom relief.
