Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture combines 5 Element and 8 Principle techniques with neuro-anatomical approaches to treat pain and systemic imbalances. Our method stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms through precise needle placement, addressing both symptoms and root causes. Patients experience pain relief, stress reduction, and improved organ function through this time-tested practice.
Pain Neutralization
This manual therapy uses neurological mechanisms to rapidly reduce pain through meridian-based techniques. Developed by Dr. Steven Kaufman, it effectively treats acute and chronic pain conditions by resetting pain signals in the nervous system. Patients often experience immediate relief after treatment sessions.
Herbal Medicine
Customized Chinese herbal formulas complement acupuncture treatments by addressing systemic imbalances at the physiological level. These natural remedies target specific organ systems while supporting overall wellness. Our approach combines traditional herbal knowledge with modern scientific understanding for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Exstore Therapy
Exstore (Examine and Restore) identifies and corrects muscle dysfunction related to injuries or chronic conditions. This technique improves recovery by addressing compensatory patterns that develop from musculoskeletal imbalances. Developed by Dr. Anthony Lombardi, it enhances treatment effectiveness and prevents recurring issues.
Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans focus on whole foods and individualized dietary approaches to support healing. We address emotional eating patterns and food sensitivities through EFT and meridian-based therapies. Our holistic approach helps patients develop sustainable, health-supporting eating habits tailored to their unique needs.
