Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
Discover the healing power of traditional Chinese medicine through acupuncture and herbal therapies.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested healing practice that has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the gentle insertion of very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore balance.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by balancing the flow of energy (Qi) through pathways called meridians in your body. Modern research shows that acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, boosting your body's natural painkillers and increasing blood flow.
Most patients find acupuncture deeply relaxing. The needles are so thin that insertion is barely felt, and many people experience a sense of calm and wellbeing during and after treatment.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is a sophisticated healing system that uses natural plant-based remedies to treat illness and promote wellness. With a history spanning thousands of years, these time-tested formulas address the root causes of health issues rather than just masking symptoms.
Our practitioners carefully select and combine herbs to create personalized formulations tailored to your unique constitution and health needs. These custom blends work synergistically with acupuncture to enhance healing and restore balance to your body's systems.
Chinese herbs are generally very safe when prescribed by trained practitioners. They offer a gentle yet powerful approach to healing with minimal side effects compared to many pharmaceutical medications.

Safety & Effectiveness
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes, when performed by licensed practitioners. We use only sterile, single-use needles and follow strict safety protocols. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as slight bruising or temporary soreness at needle sites.
Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as an effective treatment for numerous conditions.
Does It Really Work?
Extensive research supports acupuncture's effectiveness for pain management, stress reduction, and many other conditions. Many patients experience relief after just one session, though optimal results typically require a series of treatments.
Our practitioners have over 40 years of combined experience and have helped thousands of patients achieve lasting health improvements.
