Services We Offer

We provide a broad range of therapies designed to work with your body’s natural healing capabilities.
 

Acupuncture

A central therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. It can be tailored to address concerns such as pain, headaches, stress, digestive issues, and respiratory problems.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

A gentle, noninvasive treatment that uses targeted light wavelengths to reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue repair. Laser therapy is highly effective for arthritis, sports injuries, nerve pain, and degenerative joint conditions.
 

Magnetic Therapy

This complementary therapy applies targeted magnetic fields to encourage healthy circulation, ease inflammation, and promote relaxation. It can be used on its own or alongside acupuncture and laser therapy for enhanced results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

An advanced form of acupuncture that incorporates mild electrical stimulation between needles to increase the effectiveness of treatment. It is especially helpful for nerve pain, muscle spasms, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic injuries.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

We create custom herbal formulas to match your specific needs, supporting immune health, digestion, hormonal balance, and stress management. These blends often work best when combined with our other therapies for a complete approach to care.
 

Our therapies can be used individually or in a combination tailored to your health goals.
