Services We Offer

We provide a variety of holistic therapies, each of which can be customized or combined to meet your specific needs.
 

Acupuncture

A foundational therapy in East Asian medicine, acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. This process helps regulate energy flow, reduce pain, and promote natural healing. It is used to address a range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, digestive issues, and stress-related symptoms.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissue and stimulate cellular repair. This therapy can help reduce inflammation, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate healing in both acute injuries and chronic conditions. It’s ideal for patients who want a gentle, noninvasive treatment option.
 

Magnetic Therapy

By applying magnetic fields to targeted areas, this therapy can improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort. Magnetic therapy is often combined with other treatments to support overall recovery and wellness.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

An enhanced version of traditional acupuncture, electro-acupuncture delivers mild electrical pulses to the needles. This increases the therapeutic effects, especially for nerve and muscle rehabilitation, and can be particularly beneficial for stubborn pain or chronic conditions.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

Chinese herbal medicine is an essential part of our practice. We create customized formulas tailored to your health needs, whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, regulate digestion, balance hormones, or improve sleep quality.
