Services We Offer
We offer a complete range of therapies designed to promote healing, restore balance, and improve overall health.
Acupuncture
A core 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 natural healing processes. Customized to each patient, acupuncture can address conditions ranging from chronic pain and migraines to stress, digestive disorders, and respiratory issues.
Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)
This noninvasive treatment uses targeted light wavelengths to reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate the healing of muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It’s especially beneficial for patients dealing with sports injuries, arthritis, nerve pain, or degenerative joint conditions.
Magnetic Therapy
A complementary approach that applies focused magnetic fields to specific areas to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. This therapy can be used alone or alongside acupuncture and laser therapy for added benefit.
Electro-Acupuncture
An advanced form of acupuncture that uses mild electrical stimulation between needles to intensify the effects of treatment. Particularly effective for nerve-related pain, muscle tightness, post-stroke rehabilitation, and chronic injury recovery.
Chinese Herbs and Supplements
Individually formulated herbal blends designed to address your unique health needs, including immune support, digestive health, hormonal balance, and stress management. These herbal remedies work in harmony with other treatments for more complete wellness support.
Our therapies may be used individually or combined for a customized plan that aligns with your personal health goals.
