Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use thin needles at strategic points to address chronic pain, anxiety, and systemic conditions. Our clinic specializes in treating back pain, migraines, and digestive issues through personalized sessions lasting 20-30 minutes. With 25 years of clinical experience, we combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding to provide lasting relief.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations treat complex health issues using raw and prepared herbs. Our apothecary offers tailored solutions for hormonal imbalances, respiratory conditions, and digestive disorders. These natural remedies complement acupuncture treatments, with formulations based on individual patient needs and modern clinical research.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage addresses musculoskeletal pain and enhances acupuncture effectiveness. We employ deep tissue techniques and myofascial release for chronic pain conditions. This adjunct therapy improves circulation and accelerates recovery from sports injuries and repetitive strain disorders.
Sports Acupuncture
Specialized treatments enhance athletic performance and recovery. We address sports injuries, improve flexibility, and reduce recovery time using acupuncture combined with therapeutic exercise. Our approach helps athletes maintain peak physical condition while managing chronic sports-related pain.
Adjunct Therapies
Additional therapies include cupping, gua sha, and moxibustion to enhance treatment effectiveness. These traditional techniques improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and address chronic pain patterns that acupuncture alone may not fully resolve.
