Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat chronic pain, migraines, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, women's health concerns, and stress-related conditions using acupuncture and herbal medicine.
How does acupuncture work scientifically?
Acupuncture modulates the body's energy flow (qi) through meridians while triggering neurochemical responses that reduce inflammation and pain.
Do you accept insurance?
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare. Check with your provider for specific coverage details.
What's the treatment process like?
Initial consultation includes health history review followed by personalized treatment plan. Most patients require weekly sessions for 4-12 weeks depending on condition complexity.
Are herbal medicines safe?
We use high-quality, tested herbal formulations customized to your condition and monitored for interactions with any medications you may be taking.
How is this different from Western medicine?
We focus on correcting underlying imbalances rather than symptom suppression, combining traditional Chinese medicine with evidence-based integrative approaches.
