Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses sterile disposable needles to stimulate energy flow through meridians, addressing imbalances causing pain, infertility, or chronic conditions. Treatments target root causes rather than symptoms, incorporating techniques like cupping or gua sha. Sessions include comprehensive evaluations and 40-minute needle retention for lasting results.
Infertility Treatment
Specialized acupuncture and herbal therapy address infertility through PCOS management, hormonal balance, and stress reduction. Treatment plans span 3-6 months with 2-4 sessions monthly, supporting natural conception or IVF/IUI cycles. Male factor infertility assessments and dietary guidance enhance reproductive health outcomes.
Sasang Dietary Therapy
Korean-origin dietary system tailors food recommendations to individual body constitutions (hot/cold). 45-minute consultations identify optimal warming, cooling, or neutral foods to improve energy balance. Follow-up support ensures dietary changes align with acupuncture treatments for chronic conditions or general wellness.
Women's Health
Treatments address menopause symptoms, menstrual irregularities, and postpartum recovery using acupuncture and herbal medicine. Specialized care includes managing endometriosis, anovulation, and pregnancy-related discomforts like sciatica or nausea through non-invasive, drug-free methods.
Pain Management
Acupuncture targets musculoskeletal conditions like frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, and sciatica by restoring energy flow. Treatments reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and alleviate nerve pain through precise needle placement, often combined with heat therapy for enhanced circulation.
