Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, known as "qi" (pronounced "chee"). It aims to restore balance and promote healing by addressing physical, emotional, and mental health conditions. Acupuncture is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, manage stress, and support overall wellness.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), using a wide variety of plant, animal, and mineral substances to promote healing and restore balance to the body. Herbs are often combined into formulas tailored to a person's unique condition, and they are prescribed in different forms such as teas, powders, pills, or tinctures. Chinese herbs are used to treat a broad range of issues, including digestive disorders, respiratory problems, stress, immune support, and more. The practice emphasizes holistic care, focusing not just on symptoms but on the overall health and well-being of the individual.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice used to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support overall wellness. This technique involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create gentle suction, helping to release toxins, reduce inflammation, and improve energy flow. Whether you’re looking to ease pain, enhance recovery, or simply feel more balanced, cupping is a safe, natural way to support your body’s healing process.
Pediatrics
Children are energetic little beings in more ways than one. A great way to treat infants to pre teens is through the Japanese non-invasive needling technique of Shoni Shin along with using herbal formulas. When we are born our acupuncture channels and points are still forming and consolidating. This is why more manual therapy and herbs are a great way to treat in lieu of needles.
