Services We Offer

We provide a full range of therapies designed to support healing, restore balance, and promote overall wellbeing.
 

Acupuncture

This foundational therapy of traditional Chinese medicine involves placing fine, sterile needles at precise points on the body to stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Acupuncture can be customized for a wide range of health goals, from pain relief and stress reduction to improved digestion and respiratory health.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

A gentle, noninvasive therapy that uses targeted light wavelengths to ease pain, improve circulation, and speed tissue repair. This method is particularly effective for sports injuries, arthritis, nerve-related pain, and degenerative joint issues, as well as for post-surgical recovery.
 

Magnetic Therapy

By applying focused magnetic fields to targeted areas, this complementary therapy encourages blood flow, reduces inflammation, and supports relaxation. It can be used alongside acupuncture or laser therapy to enhance overall results.
 

Electro-Acupuncture

An enhanced form of acupuncture that delivers mild electrical stimulation between needles, intensifying therapeutic effects. It’s often recommended for nerve pain, muscle tightness, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

Custom herbal formulas designed to fit each patient’s health needs. These blends can aid digestion, boost immune function, balance hormones, and help manage stress and anxiety. Herbal medicine often works best when combined with other therapies for comprehensive support.

We may recommend a single therapy or a combination of treatments to create a plan that aligns with your specific goals.
