Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate energy flow (Qi) through meridians, reducing pain and stress while boosting energy and digestion. Our treatments address chronic conditions, addictions, and overall wellness. Claire Adams combines 2,500-year-old techniques with modern research for personalized care.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal blends enhance the body's self-healing mechanisms. We prescribe professional-grade herbs for digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic pain. Each formula is tailored to individual needs, ensuring synergistic effects for optimal results in Kenosha and Racine patients.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping improves circulation and relieves pain by creating suction on specific body points. This 2,500-year-old technique aids respiratory and digestive issues. Patients report reduced muscle tension and enhanced well-being after sessions targeting chronic discomfort.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves stroking oiled skin with a smooth tool to release 'Sha' (toxins), alleviating chronic pain and fatigue. This Asian healing method restores energy flow, with effects lasting beyond the temporary skin markings that fade in days.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion burns mugwort to stimulate Qi and blood flow. Proven effective for breech births and chronic pain, this therapy strengthens vitality. Claire uses it to enhance acupuncture outcomes, focusing on long-term health improvements.
