Services We Offer

Our services are designed to work with your body’s natural healing abilities, helping restore balance, improve function, and promote lasting wellness.
 

Acupuncture

A foundational therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points to stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and activate the body’s healing response. It is effective for conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, stress, digestive concerns, and respiratory issues.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

A gentle, noninvasive treatment that uses targeted light wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissues, easing pain, improving circulation, and speeding tissue repair. Laser therapy is especially helpful for arthritis, nerve pain, sports injuries, and degenerative joint conditions.
 

Magnetic Therapy

This complementary therapy applies targeted magnetic fields to encourage circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Magnetic therapy can be used on its own or in combination with acupuncture and laser therapy for enhanced results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

An advanced adaptation of acupuncture that incorporates mild electrical stimulation between needles to amplify results. It’s often recommended for nerve-related pain, muscle tightness, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic injuries.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

We create customized herbal blends designed to address individual needs, including digestion, immune support, hormonal balance, and stress management. Herbal medicine is often most effective when paired with other therapies for a holistic plan.
 

Our treatments may be offered individually or as part of a combined approach tailored to your health goals.
