Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use ultra-thin needles to stimulate energy flow through meridian pathways, addressing chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances. Our approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern trigger point techniques for musculoskeletal issues. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and nervous system regulation through personalized treatment plans.
Herbal Therapy
Custom herbal formulations based on Kampo Japanese traditions complement acupuncture treatments. Specializing in digestive health, hormonal balance, and immune support, our herbal protocols use concentrated plant extracts to address root causes of chronic conditions while minimizing side effects compared to pharmaceutical alternatives.
Telehealth Consultations
Remote health coaching sessions provide personalized wellness guidance through Zoom. Initial 60-minute consultations analyze health history and develop customized plans addressing gut health, stress management, and detoxification. Follow-up sessions track progress and adjust dietary/lifestyle recommendations to optimize treatment outcomes for chronic conditions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to increase local blood circulation and release muscle tension. This adjunct treatment effectively addresses musculoskeletal pain, respiratory issues, and digestive complaints by breaking up stagnation in soft tissues and promoting lymphatic drainage during acupuncture sessions.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat from mugwort herbs to specific acupuncture points, enhancing treatment for cold-related conditions and chronic pain. This technique improves energy flow, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery from sports injuries by stimulating circulation to affected areas.
