This therapy, at the center of each treatment plan, uses filament-thin, sterile needles inserted at specific points in the body. Done well, acupuncture is responsive and holistic– treating symptoms and their underlying causes. That’s why listening to you and considering your signs and symptoms is always part of our approach.

This approach is an addition to acupuncture therapy whereby an electrical current is run from a machine that creates small pulses of electrical current through wires that are attached to the heads of acupuncture needles. This assists in stimulating the muscles and fascia via differing electrotherapeutic methods and can be very effective for some stubborn issues.

Herbs have played a vital role in eastern medicine for millennia and so we offer them alongside our other therapies. Herbs are either applied externally as a topical remedy or taken internally, brewed into a tea. Topical herbs are used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as sprains, strains, and soft tissue tears. Herbs taken internally treat a wide variety of internal conditions including digestive and gynecological problems, asthma, and anxiety. 

We incorporate a traditional Chinese style of manual therapy called tuina, as well as cupping. This therapy can be quite vigorous and uses a wide variety of hand techniques—based on the ailment, the area of the body, and the individual—to work on soft tissues. This therapy is a very effective complement to our acupuncture work
