Services We Offer

Our therapies can be provided individually or combined into a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan.
 

Acupuncture

A cornerstone of our practice, acupuncture uses hair-thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, promote natural healing, and restore balance. This versatile therapy can address a wide range of issues, including musculoskeletal pain, stress, headaches, digestive conditions, and more.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

This advanced, noninvasive treatment uses targeted light wavelengths to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is particularly effective for sports injuries, chronic pain, and tissue regeneration.
 

Magnetic Therapy

Magnetic therapy applies targeted magnetic fields to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support natural pain relief. It is often incorporated into broader treatment plans for optimal results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

By introducing gentle electrical stimulation to traditional acupuncture needles, electro-acupuncture amplifies therapeutic benefits. It is especially helpful for nerve recovery, muscle rehabilitation, and chronic pain.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

We provide customized herbal formulas to complement other therapies, addressing health concerns such as hormonal balance, digestive support, immune enhancement, and stress reduction.
