ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body by inserting thin needles through the skin. It is one of the practices used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is most often used for pain relief, though it is also used for a wide range of other conditions.
CUPPING
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
CHINESE MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) encompasses many different practices, including acupuncture, dietary therapy, moxibustion, Chinese herbal medicine, and gua sha. TCM is rooted in the ancient philosophy of Taoism and dates back more than 2,500 years.
Consultations
We believe it is important to understand the bigger picture of a patient’s life by considering their family stressors, finances, and other psychosocial issues that may impede their follow through with herbs, supplements, diet, and general self care.
