What We Do

Acupuncture

Fine, sterile needles are gently placed at specific points along the body's meridians to restore energy flow and promote natural healing. Effective for pain relief, stress reduction, digestive issues, and a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Most patients find the experience deeply relaxing.

Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine is the oldest recorded system of herbology in the world. Some medical herbs are familiar to us, such as ginger and licorice. Other herbs are only found and harvested in very specific regions and climates in Asia. Minerals are also used in Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal formulas are designed to gently bring the body/mind back to its own capacity of self-healing.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional counseling - acupuncture combines principles of Chinese medicine with practical guidance on healthy eating. Your acupuncturist reviews you're eating habits, digestion, lifestyle, and health goals, then suggests individualized food choices and meal habits to support your overall well-being and complement your acupuncture treatments.

We understand that patients may be receiving medical care/medications under another medical model (Western Medicine). Therefore, an integrative approach will be used so that the best health care is provided for an optimal well being.

Acupuncture for Stroke Recovery: Rebuilding the Brain

When a stroke hits, life can change in an instant. One moment you’re preparing breakfast before work, and the next you’re on the kitchen floor unable to move one side of your body.

Tasks once performed automatically like buttoning a shirt, lifting a coffee Continue reading
