A Different Approach to Pain Relief
We combine Acupuncture with hands-on assessment, manual therapies, Clinical Massage Therapy, and other therapeutic modalities. This helps us identify patterns that may be contributing to your pain or dysfunction and determine the best approach to treatment. Care may also incorporate Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Therapy when appropriate. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs and condition.
Our goal is to help you feel better in as few treatments as possible.
Acupuncture
Our advanced, gentle palpation techniques allow us to listen to the body directly without practitioner interpretation. We then identify tender spots around the problem area and then employ multiple advanced Acupuncture methods to clear pain and inflammation, increase blood flow, range of motion and speed recovery times. Our acupuncture is very grounded in the physical sensations of the body. You will feel a physical change during the very first treatment. Okyu (Japanese moxibustion), Cupping, Trigger Point Release (Dry Needling), and Gua Sha are also incorporated into treatments as needed.
Manual Therapy
We combine advanced Chinese medical massage (Zheng Gu Tuina), with Acupuncture for Common Injuries, and other techniques such as Reflexology, Neuromuscular facilitation, Cupping, Gua Sha, Orthopedic Assessment, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). We teach our patients simple breathing techniques, stretching exercises, acupressure points, and Qi Gong as needed to help the healing process along in between treatments.
Holistic Health Coaching
Health Coaching helps you connect the dots between what you eat and how you feel. We offer food and lifestyle support for digestion, immune support, hormone balancing, weight balancing, anxiety, inflammation, auto-immune, and more. We offer support in addition to your acupuncture treatment plan or as a standalone service.
East Meets West: Bridging the Gap
We partner with conventional and holistic practitioners, becoming part of your care team, to provide you with a new experience in care. We speak both languages so you don’t have to. We work with physicians, practitioners, and patients to provide full-spectrum patient-centered care.
Our Acupuncture is Gentle, Calming, and Most Importantly – Effective
No Options Left
When you feel that you have no options left, Chinese Medicine can offer you a different perspective on your health. Often times, this difference equates to a better quality of life for you.
Confusing Diagnoses
For confusing diagnoses, we examine the organs, the neck, and the back, looking for imbalances or tight tender points. Once found, we relieve the points of imbalance and tenderness.
The Whole System
You don’t have to live in pain. We don’t just look at one sick body part. We look at the health of the whole system. As we uncover pain, tender points, and other clues, we help your body heal itself.
More Mobile
The body immediately functions better once these tender points subside, and once the body functions better, the spirit functions better. Once the spirit functions better, the mind functions better. Once relief has been found, patients generally become more mobile.
