Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This 3,500-year-old practice treats chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring energy flow. Our practitioners tailor treatments to individual needs, adjusting techniques based on ongoing assessment of your health progress.
Cupping
Cupping therapy creates localized suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique helps reduce inflammation, ease chronic pain, and accelerate recovery from injuries. We use modern cupping methods with skin-safe oils to ensure comfortable, effective treatment sessions tailored to each patient's condition.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat to acupuncture points using herbal preparations. This warming therapy enhances circulation, reduces pain, and supports treatment of chronic conditions. We customize heat intensity and duration based on individual tolerance levels and specific therapeutic goals for optimal results.
Tui Na / Manual Therapy
Tui Na combines therapeutic massage with acupressure to treat musculoskeletal issues and internal conditions. Our practitioners use specialized techniques to improve circulation, reduce pain, and restore balance. Sessions are adapted to address both immediate discomfort and long-term health objectives through targeted manual interventions.
Smoking Cessation
Our structured ear acupuncture program supports smoking cessation through 10 targeted treatments. The protocol includes three initial sessions followed by bi-weekly appointments, combining traditional acupuncture with behavioral support. Patients receive guidance on complementary lifestyle changes to maximize long-term success rates.
