Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points and regulate qi flow. This ancient technique effectively treats chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions by restoring bodily balance. Our practitioners combine traditional methods with modern medical understanding for optimal results.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This modality effectively addresses back pain, respiratory issues, and post-injury recovery by promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation. Sessions incorporate both stationary and gliding cup techniques.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to relieve pain and inflammation. This technique effectively treats musculoskeletal conditions and chronic tension by breaking up fascial adhesions and promoting lymphatic drainage through controlled petechiae formation.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na combines therapeutic massage with acupressure to address musculoskeletal and internal medicine conditions. Our practitioners use specific hand techniques to manipulate qi flow, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility while incorporating traditional meridian theory.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations complement other TCM treatments by addressing internal imbalances. We prescribe classical formulas modified for individual constitutions to support digestive health, hormonal balance, and immune function using high-quality, tested botanical ingredients.
