Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments restore qi flow through strategically placed needles, addressing conditions from chronic pain to mental health. Our practitioners use traditional techniques combined with modern electroacupuncture for enhanced effectiveness. Patients experience relief from stress, improved sleep, and pain management through this 3,000-year-old practice adapted for contemporary healthcare needs.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to improve circulation and release muscle tension. This ancient technique effectively treats back pain, respiratory issues, and stress-related conditions. Our practitioners combine cupping with acupuncture for synergistic effects, following strict safety protocols to ensure optimal patient comfort and results.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat to acupuncture points using smoldering mugwort. This therapy enhances qi circulation and treats cold-related conditions, menstrual irregularities, and digestive issues. Our practitioners use smokeless moxa sticks for patient comfort while maintaining traditional treatment efficacy through precise temperature control.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine consultations provide customized plant-based treatments for chronic conditions and wellness optimization. Our apothecary stocks 250+ traditional Chinese herbs that complement acupuncture treatments. Formulas address specific health concerns without dependency, following rigorous quality control standards for patient safety and effectiveness.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture enhances traditional treatments with gentle electrical stimulation through needles. This advanced technique improves pain management outcomes and accelerates recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. Our practitioners carefully adjust current intensity to individual patient needs, combining ancient wisdom with modern technology for superior results.

I have been a patient for nearly a year. I went in with a whole plan for my life. I shared it with Adam and then we got down to understanding what was really going on with me. My plan has changed. I am transforming and I am sooo greatful. Though I am not on the same path. I am so confident that I am am the path I am suppose to be. Thanks for hearing me and educating me.

Dr. Adam is wonderful. His intake is thorough, thoughtful, and perceptive. He immediately understood what I wanted to work on and developed a tailored treatment program. I was somewhat unsure of being in a semi-open space, but the energy is incredibly calm. Dr. Adam and his staff are kind and efficient.

Report
Totally improved my quality of life. I have lived with chronic pain for many years - seen several different doctors and went through two rounds of physical therapy - and acupuncture has made the most striking difference in how I feel every day. My rheumatologist recommended that I try acupuncture, and though I was skeptical at first, it has completely altered how I feel every day.
