Telehealth appointments continue to be available for anyone who prefers not to attend our clinic in person. We are now offering several online virtual classes covering common ailments with tips and techniques to help you feel your best! The word "family" is in our title because we practice complimentary medicine for the whole family. Infants, children, and teenagers benefit from an East Asian medical model, just as well as adults.
We love helping each individual to achieve their ideal health through acupuncture, Chinese medical nutrition, cupping therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine. There are many conditions that can benefit from the use of East Asian medicine such as infant colic, women's health, acute and chronic pain reduction, stress management, relief from anxiousness, and help with gastrointestinal disorders.
East Asian medicine offers an individual approach to all health concerns. As an alternative to treating a human being as a condition, East Asian medicine uses a multi-prong approach to treat your health as an individual constellation of patterns unique to you.

Cupping, Moxa, Guasha
Report
Cupping Therapy has been used across the globe for centuries as a non invasive treatment to relieve a variety of health conditions.
Cupping can relieve chronic muscle tension, pain, adhesions, scar tissue, detoxify the body, and help with proper circulation of blood, lymph, and the removal of metabolic wastes from our tissues.
Today cupping therapy uses suction within a glass, bamboo, silicon, or plastic cup to gently pull skin, fascia, and muscle up into it.
The suction is created by removing air from the cup either with a vacuum pump or by utilizing a small flame that quickly uses up oxygen in the cup to create the vacuum.
