Since I have been coming to your office for treatments on my back, I have felt so much better. The acupuncture treatments, muscle therapy, herbs and massages have greatly improved my back. I would like to thank you for all your expertise and for the nice relaxing atmosphere of your office and staff. I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for a few years.
I tried physical therapy for 2 years but didnt get much healing and still suffered with a lot of pain every day.

Cupping
Report
What is Cupping?
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine dating as far back as 3000 B.C. Cupping works by expanding the capillaries and increasing the amount of fluid entering and leaving the body's tissues.
How does Cupping Work?
Uniquely designed for each patient, special cups are placed on your skin for a few minutes to create suction.
The suction uses pressure to pull skin, tissue, and muscles upward.
Patients will feel a tight, but relaxing and soothing sensation.
Cupping is proven to increase blood circulation, disperse lactic acid, and release muscle tension.

Hot Stone Therapy
Report
Hot stone massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism.
Each hot stone massage therapy session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, heated stones at key points on the body.
Our professional massage therapists also incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones which offers enhanced benefits.
The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers.

Patient Intake Form
Report
Although, there are areas of the body more sensitive than others, due to the thinness of the needles you do not feel any pain when inserting the acupuncture needles, they are almost imperceptible.
It varies depending on the pathology to be treated, the health state of the patient and other variables.
The treatments are usually about an hour from the time you come in and leave.
Acupunture treatment is about 20 minutes plus 15 minutes of complimentary massage.
Why are 2 patients with the same pathology treated different when using traditional oriental medicine?
