According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture is effective in the treatment of over forty common disorders. In addition, it has been used throughout Asia for centuries to treat many other conditions.

We will review your health history, symptoms and lifestyle, conduct a physical exam and a pulse and tongue diagnosis to determine the source of imbalance. We'll then develop a treatment plan designed to re-balance your systems (energetic as well as physiological) that may include a combination of the following treatment modalities:

acupuncture
Stimulation of the body's natural healing mechanisms through insertion of small needles along the energy paths, or meridians, throughout the body. All needles are sterile and disposable. You may feel a slight prick when the needle is inserted, and once the needle is in place you may not feel anything, or you may feel a heaviness or achiness, or even a slight electrical sensation. Occasionally, micro currents are applied to inserted needles to increase the stimulation of ear or other body points.

light therapy
Low-level laser therapy is a gentle and effective alternative to traditional  acupuncture -- without needles. A low-level laser is directed at acupuncture points on the ears or other areas to restore the natural balance of the hormones, or to accelerate healing. Patients may feel relaxed and re-energized, and have reported improved sleep, well-being, vitality, and/or a reduction in stress.

herbs
An integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine used for thousands of years. There are over four hundred commonly-used herbs in the Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacopia which are combined to make formulas offered in pill, powder and raw forms.

guasha
A form of body work using a porcelain tool that is worked over specific areas with aromatic oils to release accumulated lymphatic toxins and/or granulated tissue, usually revealed as dark red crystals along the acupuncture channels.

cupping
A vacuum is created inside a glass cup which is placed on the body, usually over the tender areas to relieve tension and pain, to draw toxins to the surface of the body and increase the flow of qi. It can be moved over almost any area of the body, such as the back, neck, head/scalp, arms, legs, hands, feet, etc. There may be bruising or slight bleeding when the lymph toxins are removed, or no marks at all in areas that are toxin-free.

moxibustion
A tonic herbal stick that is ignited and burns in a way similar to incense. It’s placed either on a needle or on the skin at acupuncture points for warming and tonifying, and to stimulate circulation of the blood and qi.

tuina
A type of therapeutic massage that involves kneading, rolling and pressing to open the body's defensive qi and stimulate the movement of energy in  the meridians and the muscles.
