Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a beautiful and powerful medicine where tiny needles are inserted into specific points in the body to optimize function, promote healing, and calm the nervous system. Book a session and learn how truly healthy you can become.
Other needle-free modalities include:
Tuina: a form of Asian bodywork similar to massage.
Cupping: using suction cups to create space in the body tissue and promote circulation.
Guasha: using a tool to ‘scrape’ the body to facilitate circulation.
Chinese Herbs: prescribing specific herbs based on each specific patient’s needs to maximize health and support the body’s natural healing process.
Moxibustion/Moxa: igniting the mugwort herb on top of needles or directly on the body to enhance circulation and bring extra warmth and nourishment.
Acu-pressure/Acu-laser: using various tools to activate acu-points without needle insertion
Much more: electrical stimulation, magnet therapy, nutrition support, stretching/posture support, etc.
