Services We Offer

We offer a complete range of therapies designed to promote healing, restore balance, and support overall health.

Acupuncture

A cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles placed at precise points to restore energy flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It is effective for a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, migraines, stress, digestive issues, and respiratory problems.
 

Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation/LLLT)

This noninvasive treatment delivers targeted wavelengths of light into affected tissues to ease pain, improve circulation, and accelerate the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s a powerful tool for arthritis, nerve pain, sports injuries, and degenerative joint issues.
 

Magnetic Therapy

By applying specific magnetic fields to targeted areas, this therapy enhances circulation, reduces swelling, and promotes relaxation. It is often used alongside acupuncture and laser therapy to optimize results.

​

Electro-Acupuncture

An advanced form of acupuncture that uses mild electrical stimulation between needles to intensify therapeutic benefits. It is especially effective for nerve pain, muscle spasms, chronic injuries, and post-stroke rehabilitation.
 

Chinese Herbs and Supplements

Custom herbal formulas are developed to meet each patient’s needs, addressing concerns such as immune health, digestion, hormonal balance, and stress relief. Chinese herbal medicine complements our other therapies to provide a complete wellness plan.
 

Our treatments can be provided individually or combined into a customized plan that aligns with your personal health goals.
