Services Offered
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has been used in China for thousands of years. It is centered on correcting the imbalances of energy in the body and thereby addressing a wide variety of ailments that stem from these energetic imbalances. By strategically placing hair-thin sterile needles along the body’s energetic pathways known as meridians, we can activate the body’s own self-healing mechanisms through biochemical and physiological responses. These biochemical and physiological responses can focus on balancing hormone levels such as serotonin, dopamine and the release of endorphins which become effective at boosting your immune system, improving blood circulation, and reducing pain. From each of these few target actions, acupuncture has shown to help with depression, anxiety, stress, fertility, digestive issues and so much more.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an additional modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that is utilized to help alleviate pain and muscle tension, break down scar tissue and fascial adhesions, and assist the body in clearing respiratory conditions such as the common cold or flu. It involves creating suction on the surface of the skin with either glass or plastic cups in what can be described as an inverse pressure massage. Whether gently glided or left stationary, cupping therapy provides increased blood flow to different local areas of the body to help foster faster recovery and healing.
Nutrition/Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine, which includes plants, minerals, and foods, has been used for centuries to treat illness and improve and/or maintain health long before the introduction of pharmaceuticals. Herbal Medicine’s more natural approach stands to differentiate itself from  pharmaceuticals by targeting both the root cause of an imbalance in addition to the symptoms. Research has shown us that the therapeutic effects of herbal medicines are both safe and effective, yet gentle enough to help bring the body back to its optimal state of well-being.
