Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine filiform needles placed at strategic points to regulate hormones, nervous system function, and circulation. Our practitioners combine classical Chinese techniques with modern diagnostics to address chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. Each session incorporates complementary therapies like cupping and moxibustion for enhanced effectiveness.
Tui Na
Tui Na employs rhythmic compression techniques along meridians to restore circulation and energy flow. This therapeutic massage addresses musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, and digestive issues through targeted manipulation. Sessions focus on balancing physical and emotional systems for holistic healing.
Functional Lab Testing
Our advanced diagnostic testing includes blood chemistry analysis, salivary hormone testing, and digestive function assessments. These tests identify early imbalances and guide personalized treatment plans. We utilize Boston Heart Diagnostics and digital meridian imaging for comprehensive health evaluations.

Custom herbal formulations combine traditional Chinese medicine with modern nutraceutical science. These natural remedies address pain management, anxiety, and chronic conditions through plant-based ingredients. Each protocol is tailored to individual diagnoses and monitored for effectiveness.
