Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain through strategic needle placement. Our sessions combine traditional Chinese medicine with modern techniques to address chronic conditions, stress-related disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. Patients receive personalized care plans that may include complementary therapies like cupping or gua sha for enhanced healing outcomes.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to decompress tissues, improve circulation, and break up muscle knots. This treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, athletic recovery, and digestive issues by stimulating blood flow and engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. Sessions may include fire cupping or modern pump techniques depending on patient needs.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine consultations identify underlying causes of chronic conditions through comprehensive lab testing and personalized treatment plans. Our approach addresses hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and autoimmune conditions using targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient's unique biochemistry.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha treatments relieve muscle tension and improve circulation through controlled skin scraping with specialized tools. This technique effectively addresses neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries by breaking up fascial restrictions and promoting lymphatic drainage while stimulating the body's natural healing response.
Microneedling
Microneedling treatments stimulate skin rejuvenation through controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen production. This non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique improves skin texture, reduces scarring, and addresses signs of aging by promoting natural skin regeneration and enhancing product absorption.

Questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are ultra-thin and most patients feel minimal discomfort. Many report feeling relaxed during sessions, with some even falling asleep. Common sensations include pressure, warmth, or tingling.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Minor issues may require 6-10 sessions, while chronic conditions might need 20+ sessions. Most patients see improvement within 3-4 sessions and receive personalized recommendations after initial consultations.
Can I get acupuncture while pregnant?
Yes, acupuncture is safe during pregnancy with modified point selection. It can help manage morning sickness, fatigue, and labor preparation while avoiding contraindicated points during different pregnancy stages.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Complete new patient paperwork beforehand, wear comfortable clothing, eat a light meal, and avoid caffeine. Arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your complete health history and treatment goals.
How does cupping leave marks?
Cupping marks are not bruises but indicate increased blood flow to stagnant areas. The darker the mark, the more local congestion being released. Marks typically fade within 3-7 days and fade faster with consistent treatments.
Can I combine acupuncture with other treatments?
Yes, acupuncture complements Western medicine, chiropractic care, and physical therapy. Many patients find combined approaches enhance overall treatment effectiveness for conditions like sports injuries and chronic pain.
