Services We Offer

We offer a variety of treatments that can be used individually or combined into a comprehensive plan tailored to you.
 

Acupuncture

An essential element of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses thin, sterile needles placed at specific points to balance the body’s energy, promote healing, and ease discomfort. This therapy is known to help with everything from chronic pain to stress, digestive concerns, and respiratory issues.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

A state-of-the-art, noninvasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and relieve pain. It’s especially helpful for arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
 

Magnetic Therapy

A gentle, supportive treatment that applies magnetic fields to targeted areas to improve circulation, minimize swelling, and promote the body’s natural pain relief response.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

This modern enhancement to traditional acupuncture introduces mild electrical pulses to acupuncture points, intensifying the therapeutic effects and improving muscle and nerve recovery.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

Custom herbal formulas can be tailored to support immune function, reduce stress, balance hormones, and address a variety of other health concerns.
 

Our therapies can be integrated into a treatment plan that’s unique to your condition, health goals, and lifestyle.

It can help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve digestion, support respiratory health, and address a wide range of other conditions — without the need for medication.
 

Our Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT) works alongside acupuncture to speed recovery, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. This makes it particularly valuable for patients with sports injuries, degenerative conditions, or chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
