Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments utilize thin needles inserted at specific meridian points to promote circulation and alleviate pain. This therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues, internal disorders, and stress-related conditions through both traditional Chinese and modern techniques. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans incorporating Tung system and Japanese meridian therapy approaches.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to stimulate acupuncture points and enhance circulation. This therapy strengthens immune function, alleviates chronic pain, and supports seasonal allergy prevention. Practitioners use direct and indirect methods to deliver targeted therapeutic effects while maintaining patient comfort.
Cupping & Gua Sha
Cupping and gua sha therapies improve circulation by releasing tissue stagnation and muscle tension. Cupping creates suction to draw out toxins while gua sha scraping mobilizes blood flow. These techniques provide immediate pain relief and leave temporary therapeutic markings that indicate improved circulation.
Chinese Herbal Formulas
Customized herbal formulas treat internal imbalances and chronic conditions using time-tested combinations of plant-based ingredients. Formulas from the Han Dynasty treat digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. Treatments consider individual constitution and specific symptom patterns for maximum effectiveness.
Initial Evaluation
Comprehensive initial visits include medical history review, diagnostic assessment, and personalized treatment planning. Patients receive acupuncture and herbal evaluation during the 90-minute session. Follow-up recommendations are based on traditional diagnostic methods and modern clinical observations.
