Services We Offer

We offer a wide selection of therapies, each aimed at supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and maintain balance.
 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine, using fine, sterile needles placed at targeted points to restore balance, stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. This versatile therapy is effective for managing conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, stress, digestive issues, and respiratory problems.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

This noninvasive treatment delivers targeted wavelengths of light deep into tissues to reduce pain, improve circulation, and speed the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is particularly beneficial for patients with arthritis, nerve pain, sports injuries, or degenerative joint conditions.
 

Magnetic Therapy

By applying specific magnetic fields to targeted areas, this therapy enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation. Magnetic therapy can be an effective complement to acupuncture and laser therapy for greater overall results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

A modern enhancement of acupuncture, electro-acupuncture uses gentle electrical stimulation between needles to intensify therapeutic benefits. It is often recommended for nerve-related pain, muscle spasms, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

Custom-formulated herbal blends are designed to meet each patient’s specific needs, whether that’s improving digestion, boosting immunity, balancing hormones, or reducing stress. Chinese herbal medicine works in harmony with other therapies for a more complete wellness strategy.
 

Our therapies may be provided individually or combined into an integrated treatment plan based on your health goals.
