Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-thin needles to stimulate specific points along energy meridians, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This evidence-based approach effectively addresses chronic pain, stress disorders, and various systemic conditions by restoring physiological balance. Patients often experience immediate relaxation effects while cumulative sessions produce lasting improvements in overall wellness.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by addressing internal imbalances and supporting organ system function. Our pharmacopeia includes time-tested remedies for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system enhancement, all administered with strict quality control standards and safety protocols.
Moxibustion
This traditional technique applies heat from burning mugwort herb near specific acupuncture points to stimulate circulation and strengthen immune response. Particularly effective for cold-related conditions and energy deficiency patterns, moxibustion enhances treatment outcomes when combined with acupuncture and lifestyle modifications.

Questions
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
We address fertility issues, chronic pain, stress/anxiety, pregnancy-related conditions, autoimmune disorders, and post-cancer treatment recovery through personalized acupuncture protocols.
How does your treatment approach differ?
Our classical Chinese medicine approach considers emotional and lifestyle factors alongside physical symptoms to identify root imbalances rather than just treating surface symptoms.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Initial consultations last 90 minutes, including detailed health assessment, tongue/pulse diagnosis, and customized treatment combining acupuncture with lifestyle recommendations.
Do you accept health insurance?
We accept VA insurance and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Payment is due at time of service with discounts applied for self-pay clients.
How many treatments will I need?
Acute conditions typically require 3-5 sessions while chronic issues may need 10+ treatments. We recommend weekly sessions initially, adjusting frequency based on individual progress.
