Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles to stimulate energy pathways and trigger endorphin release. This ancient practice effectively treats chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, and stress-related conditions by restoring the body's natural healing mechanisms through precise point stimulation.
Cupping
Cupping therapy employs heated glass cups to create suction that increases blood flow and releases muscle tension. This traditional technique effectively addresses sports injuries, respiratory issues, and chronic pain by promoting localized circulation and removing cellular waste.
Chinese Herbs
Customized herbal formulations address internal imbalances and support acupuncture effects. Using concentrated plant-based remedies, we treat digestive disorders, hormonal issues, and immune deficiencies while minimizing pharmaceutical side effects through natural, personalized prescriptions.
Fertility Treatments
Specialized acupuncture protocols enhance fertility by regulating hormonal function and improving uterine blood flow. Our evidence-based treatments complement IVF and IUI procedures, with documented success in reducing miscarriage rates and supporting full-term pregnancies through tailored cycle-specific interventions.
Women's Health
Comprehensive treatment plans address menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, and reproductive health concerns. By balancing endocrine function and alleviating associated discomforts, we help women achieve hormonal harmony and improved quality of life across all life stages.

Questions
How does acupuncture support fertility treatments?
Acupuncture improves uterine blood flow, regulates hormonal function, and reduces stress hormones. When timed with IVF/IUI cycles, it enhances implantation rates by creating optimal reproductive conditions through specific needle placements.
What conditions respond best to cupping therapy?
Cupping effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, respiratory congestion, and post-exercise recovery. The suction mechanism increases circulation to targeted areas, making it particularly beneficial for chronic back pain, bronchial issues, and sports-related muscle tension.
Can herbal medicine interact with prescription medications?
Our customized formulas work alongside pharmaceutical treatments. We prioritize safety by avoiding contraindicated combinations and focus on complementary effects that enhance overall treatment outcomes without interfering with medically necessary prescriptions.
Is acupuncture safe for needle-phobic patients?
Most patients experience minimal sensation due to ultra-thin needles. Geina specializes in gentle techniques for sensitive individuals, with 85% of needle-phobic patients successfully completing treatments through gradual acclimation and alternative stimulation methods.
What should I expect during first fertility acupuncture visit?
Initial consultations include detailed health history review, pulse diagnosis, and treatment planning. The first session typically involves gentle needle placement in reproductive-related points, with immediate relaxation effects and personalized lifestyle recommendations.
How many sessions produce noticeable results?
Acute conditions often improve within 3-5 sessions. Chronic issues require 8-12 weeks for significant changes. Fertility patients typically commit to 3-4 months of regular treatments, with many reporting symptom relief within the first menstrual cycle.
