Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine sterile needles at specific meridian points to restore Qi balance and promote natural healing. This evidence-based approach effectively addresses chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and various internal disorders. Each session is tailored to individual needs with protocols developed through comprehensive diagnostic assessments.
Functional Medicine
This service combines traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern functional medicine testing to identify root causes of health issues. We use advanced diagnostic tools like AcuGraph5 alongside lab analysis to create personalized treatment plans addressing biochemical and physiological imbalances through natural interventions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy improves circulation and relieves muscle tension through controlled suction on specific body areas. This traditional technique effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, respiratory conditions, and stress-related disorders while enhancing lymphatic drainage and promoting detoxification processes in the body.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using time-tested botanical combinations. These natural remedies address internal imbalances, support organ function, and enhance treatment outcomes for conditions like digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system deficiencies through carefully sourced, high-quality herbal preparations.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture enhances traditional needle therapy with mild electrical stimulation to increase treatment effectiveness. This modality particularly benefits neurological conditions, chronic pain management, and muscle rehabilitation by improving nerve conductivity and accelerating tissue healing through controlled electrical impulses delivered through acupuncture needles.
