Services
Acupuncture
This ancient Chinese practice involves inserting thin needles at specific points to balance qi energy flow. Our treatments address chronic pain, sports injuries, and systemic imbalances using sterile, single-use needles. Patients experience improved circulation and pain relief through personalized sessions tailored to their specific health needs.
Cupping Therapy
Using glass or silicone cups to create suction, this treatment releases muscle tension and improves circulation. We apply stationary or gliding cups to target areas of chronic tightness, helping reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from athletic injuries while leaving temporary therapeutic marks.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using time-tested combinations of plant-based ingredients. These natural remedies support the body's healing processes for both acute conditions and chronic wellness maintenance through carefully dosed internal preparations.
Gua Sha
This technique uses smooth tools to stroke the skin's surface, releasing muscle tension and improving lymphatic drainage. We apply it to treat chronic pain patterns and promote circulation, often producing temporary petechiae that indicate therapeutic release of stagnation.
House Calls
Available for established patients, our mobile service brings acupuncture treatments directly to your home. This convenient option maintains the same quality of care while accommodating mobility challenges or busy schedules with appointments scheduled in advance.
