Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring energy flow and balancing bodily systems. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced overall wellness through personalized session plans.
Pain Management
Specialized pain management programs target conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and post-injury discomfort using integrative techniques. Combining acupuncture with herbal medicine and lifestyle modifications, we help patients reduce medication dependence and regain mobility. Treatment plans address both immediate discomfort and long-term healing for sustainable pain relief outcomes.
Allergy Treatment
Allergy relief programs utilize acupuncture and herbal formulations to regulate immune responses and reduce hypersensitivity reactions. Patients report decreased reliance on antihistamines and improved respiratory function through targeted treatments that address underlying systemic imbalances rather than just masking symptoms.
Infertility Support
Fertility enhancement protocols combine acupuncture with hormonal balancing techniques to improve reproductive health. Treatments increase blood flow to reproductive organs, regulate menstrual cycles, and enhance IVF success rates. Many patients achieve natural conception or improved assisted reproduction outcomes through our comprehensive, evidence-based approach.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by addressing internal imbalances and supporting organ function. Our pharmacopeia includes time-tested Chinese herbal combinations that enhance treatment effectiveness for digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions while minimizing adverse effects.

Report
Wonderful doctor and great front desk staff of two. I have been going every Saturday morning to see Dr. Chi since October. She is treating me for help with tremors and rigidity from Parkinson. In the beginning we made a deal that we would give acupuncture a 3 month trial and decide if it helps.at three months she looked at me and it's helping but at as slow pace.everybody's responds differently. She is straight forward and honest.
I drive one hour and 45. Minutes to see her. I trust her. All my questions are answered no matter how silly they sound.and the office has a very relaxing atmosphere. I speak very highly of this practice and I was referred by a very sweet business owner in Portsmouth who also thinks Dr. Chi is wonderful too
