Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points to balance qi, alleviate pain, and treat conditions like migraines, arthritis, and stress. Our treatments integrate Western kinesiology for enhanced results. Patients often experience improved immunity and emotional well-being through regular sessions.
Cupping
Cupping uses glass cups to create suction, stimulating blood flow and releasing muscle tension. This detoxifies the body, relieves pain, and treats conditions like colds and back pain. Marks fade quickly, leaving a sense of deep relaxation and improved circulation.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha gently scrapes the skin to break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. It alleviates chronic pain and stress, often used for neck and shoulder tension. The technique leaves temporary redness but promotes rapid recovery and energy flow.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion burns mugwort herb near acupuncture points to warm and invigorate qi. It treats menstrual cramps, muscle pain, and immune deficiencies. The therapy may be applied directly, on needles, or via moxa pads for targeted relief and systemic balance.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas complement acupuncture for internal medicine conditions. We prescribe remedies for digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue, based on TCM principles. Formulas are tailored to individual needs, enhancing treatment efficacy and long-term wellness.
