Services
Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese Acupuncture employs gentle, non-invasive techniques to stimulate energy flow and restore balance. This approach focuses on subtle needle manipulation and abdominal diagnosis to treat chronic pain, stress, and internal imbalances. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced natural healing processes through this refined methodology.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations address specific health concerns using time-tested Chinese medicinal practices. These natural remedies support immune function, manage chronic conditions, and complement acupuncture treatments. Patients receive personalized prescriptions for digestive issues, respiratory problems, and hormonal imbalances, with options for liquid tinctures and powdered formulas.
Biomagnetic Therapy
Biomagnetic Acupoint Therapy uses therapeutic magnets to balance energy flow without needles. This technique reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and improves circulation through strategic magnet placement on acupoints. Patients experience immediate relief from chronic conditions while avoiding traditional needle insertion, making it ideal for sensitive individuals.
Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy targets specific points on the ear to treat addiction, anxiety, and pain management issues. This microsystem approach stimulates nerve pathways to regulate bodily functions and emotional states. Patients benefit from reduced cravings, improved mental clarity, and non-invasive treatment options for stress-related conditions.
Shakuju Therapy
Shakuju Therapy combines teishin tools and moxibustion to address deep-seated energy blockages. This abdominal-focused treatment restores foundational energy (Jing Qi) to improve overall vitality and organ function. Patients experience immediate physical changes and long-term benefits for chronic health conditions through this gentle yet powerful Japanese technique.

Questions
What conditions can acupuncture treat effectively?
Acupuncture effectively addresses chronic pain, migraines, allergies, anxiety, digestive issues, and musculoskeletal problems. Our clinic also treats stress-related conditions and supports overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort as our practitioners use extremely thin needles. Many report feeling relaxed during sessions, with some not feeling needle insertion at all. Alternative non-needle options are also available.
Do you accept health insurance?
We accept insurance plans covering acupuncture benefits. Patients should verify coverage with their provider before treatment. Chinese herbal medicine typically isn't covered by insurance policies.
What non-needle treatment options exist?
We offer Biomagnetic Therapy, Shakuju Therapy, auriculotherapy, and laser acupuncture as effective needle-free alternatives. These options work through energy point stimulation using magnets, light, or pressure techniques.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment frequency depends on individual conditions. Acute issues may resolve in 4-6 sessions while chronic conditions require ongoing care. Most patients see measurable improvements within 2-4 weeks of regular treatments.
Can I receive treatment during pregnancy?
Yes, we provide specialized acupuncture protocols for prenatal care, labor preparation, and postpartum recovery. Our treatments address common pregnancy discomforts while supporting maternal wellness under professional supervision.
