Services We Offer

Our therapies are designed to support the body’s natural healing process, restore balance, and promote lasting wellness.
 

Acupuncture

A foundational therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles placed at targeted points to stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and activate the body’s healing mechanisms. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, stress, digestive issues, and respiratory health concerns.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

This noninvasive, light-based therapy penetrates deep into tissues to reduce pain, improve circulation, and speed healing. Laser therapy is especially helpful for arthritis, nerve pain, sports injuries, and degenerative joint conditions.
 

Magnetic Therapy

By applying targeted magnetic fields, this therapy encourages circulation, eases inflammation, and promotes relaxation. Magnetic therapy can be performed on its own or alongside acupuncture and laser therapy for enhanced results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

A modern adaptation of acupuncture that adds gentle electrical stimulation between needles to increase therapeutic benefits. It’s an effective treatment for nerve pain, muscle spasms, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic injuries.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

We design customized herbal formulations to address specific needs, including immune system support, digestive health, hormonal balance, and stress reduction. Herbal remedies work best as part of a comprehensive care plan that includes other therapies.
 

Our services can be provided individually or combined into an integrated treatment plan tailored to your health goals.
