Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate qi flow, addressing pain, stress, and chronic conditions. By targeting meridians, it enhances circulation and endorphin release. Patients report reduced inflammation and improved mobility for issues like arthritis and sports injuries.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulas treat root causes of imbalances, from digestive disorders to autoimmune conditions. Combining 5-15 herbs, these synergistic blends address both symptoms and underlying patterns while minimizing side effects through precise dosing.
Vitamin B Injections
Methylcobalamin B12 injections boost energy and cognitive function by enhancing cellular metabolism. Direct bloodstream absorption bypasses digestive limitations, making this therapy ideal for vegetarians and those with absorption challenges or chronic fatigue.
Traumeel Injection Therapy
Traumeel injections deliver anti-inflammatory herbal compounds to reduce pain from injuries, arthritis, and chronic conditions. This steroid-free alternative promotes tissue healing with minimal side effects, targeting inflammation through plant-based active ingredients.
Functional Nutrition
Integrative nutrition counseling identifies deficiencies and optimizes cellular health through personalized dietary plans. Combining Chinese medicine diagnostics with functional testing, we address digestive issues, immune dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances for long-term wellness.

Questions
How does acupuncture treat chronic pain?
Acupuncture restores qi flow through meridians, stimulating endorphin release and microcirculation. This reduces inflammation and addresses both symptoms and root causes of chronic pain conditions like arthritis.
What conditions do Chinese herbs treat?
Herbal medicine effectively manages digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and hormonal imbalances. Formulas are customized to treat both presenting symptoms and constitutional patterns.
Are B12 injections better than oral supplements?
Injections provide direct bloodstream absorption, making them more effective for severe deficiencies or absorption issues. Methylcobalamin supports energy production and neurological function more efficiently than oral forms.
How does Traumeel injection therapy work?
Traumeel delivers natural anti-inflammatory compounds directly to affected areas, reducing pain and promoting tissue healing. It's commonly used for musculoskeletal injuries and chronic joint conditions as a steroid alternative.
What happens during a first acupuncture visit?
Initial consultations include detailed health assessments using Chinese medicine diagnostics. Treatments may combine acupuncture, lifestyle recommendations, and customized herbal formulas tailored to your specific health patterns.
