Our Treatments
We are dedicated to helping you find pain relief, improve function in your body and maximize your physical well-being.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning. Minimally invasive and painless techniques include gently placing needles, applying heat, and electrically stimulating well-known acupuncture points to trigger the nervous system’s release of chemicals into the skeletal muscles, spinal cord, and cerebrum. The process will either reduce the experience of existing pain or further trigger chain reactions to release other chemicals and hormones which ultimately influence the body’s regulating system.
Herbal Medicine
The focus of Herbal Medicine is to provide relief from chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, insomnia, chemotherapy recovery, weight loss/gain, side effects from medications, and cognitive enhancement. The holistic approach of this traditional method is one that fully incorporates both the mind and the body. Through the use of botanical formulas, amino acids, vitamins, nutritional adjustments, and lifestyle changes, we aim to bring each patient’s body and mind back to an optimal state of homeostasis and synchronization.
Tuina Bodywork
Tuina or tui-na (pronounced twee-nah) massage originated in ancient China and is believed to be the oldest system of bodywork. Like acupuncture, tuina massage uses the same energy meridians and acupoints to balance the qi and blood in your body, leading to better health. Qi that’s flowing incorrectly can cause blockages, such as poor blood circulation in the affected area. The main therapeutic goal of tuina massage is to remove the energetic blocks that are causing qi stagnation. When combined with acupuncture, it reduces the healing time for almost any condition.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles, loosen up adhesive scar tissues, hydrate the surrounding injured flesh, and bring more blood flow to the affected area. This treatment also has the effect of bringing inflammation closer to the skin surface so any excess fluids and toxins can be more easily drained out through the lymphatic pathways. When cupping is done along the meridians, it can facilitate the flow of qi by opening the meridians. Cupping is one of the best deep-tissue therapies available due to its unique mechanism and its strong effect – the power of suction can reach as deep as 4 inches under the skin!
Far-Infrared Therapy
Far Infrared therapy (FIR) involves using infrared rays to gently heal, soothe, stimulate, and detox the physical body and the mind. Infrared rays are invisible waves of energy that can penetrate all layers of the human body, penetrating the inner-most regions of the tissues, muscles, and bone. Very gently increases blood flow by expanding the capillaries that carry blood. It also increases oxygenation and regeneration of the blood, deeply detoxifying it for the improved functioning of all of the major organs in the body, which depend on blood for energy.
What Does Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture can be helpful in maintaining good health and in treating patients with a wide range of health problems.
Infertility
Infertility may be caused by many biological and external factors, like organ imbalance, weak constitution, and both partners’ lifestyles. Acupuncture, frequently combined with herbal medicine, has been used for centuries to treat some causes of infertility. Additionally, it is shown that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to facilitate a thick, rich lining. Also, acupuncture and herbs are very effective for treating many underlying conditions that may affect fertility, such as irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, pelvic infections, and stress.
Weight Loss
Acupuncture is an effective adjunction therapy that makes it easier to lose and maintain a healthy weight if the patient is willing to change their lifestyle. Acupuncture needles are inserted into a specific point on the body and in the ear, releasing endorphins that have a calming and relaxing effect that makes it easier to deal with stress, frustration, and anxiety that can trigger overeating and bingeing fattening foods. Also, endorphins affect the digestive and hormonal system; acupuncture can help rebalance the organ systems that are running too fast or too slow and affect the patient’s metabolism and willpower.
Depression
Depression affects 121 million people worldwide. Prolonged feelings of sadness and hopelessness can significantly affect a person’s quality of life. Acupuncture can not only treat depression, but it can help address the root causes safely and naturally. When somebody is suffering from depression, the person’s Qi (pronounces “chee”) is stagnant. While treating depression, acupuncturists like to focus on balancing and activating the Qi by manipulating specific points on the body. Some physical symptoms of depression are extreme tiredness, lack of motivation, and feeling cold.
Insomnia
Insomnia is prevalent in patients whose life is subject to large amounts of stress. The length of sleep we need changes according to age, and most of the time, it gradually decreases as we get old. Acupuncturists will always take age into account when determining if the patient’s sleep is adequate. When patients have difficulty falling asleep, dizziness, and blurry vision, they may have a liver-blood deficiency. When patients wake up frequently overnight and have excessive dreams, sweating, and palpitations, it may be a heart and kidney yin deficiency.
