Services
Acupuncture
Precision acupuncture treatments address chronic pain, neurological conditions, and systemic imbalances. Using ultra-thin needles, we stimulate energy flow to promote natural healing. Patients report significant improvements in migraines, arthritis, and stress-related disorders after our targeted sessions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments for digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and immune support. Our pharmacopoeia includes time-tested remedies refined over centuries for maximum efficacy and safety in modern applications.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping alleviates muscle tension and improves circulation through controlled suction. This ancient technique effectively treats back pain, sports injuries, and respiratory conditions by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation in targeted areas.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat to acupuncture points using mugwort to enhance treatment outcomes. This therapy particularly benefits joint pain, menstrual irregularities, and digestive weakness by stimulating energy flow and warming internal pathways.
Guasha
Guasha involves gentle skin scraping to relieve chronic pain and inflammation. This technique effectively addresses fibromyalgia symptoms, respiratory congestion, and post-injury recovery by promoting microcirculation and releasing myofascial tension.

To date, I have had 5 sessions with Dr Qin and cannot recommend her enough. My first session was also my first time receiving acupuncture - I appreciated how she took time to explain the process before commencing. She is incredibly attentive and always takes time to answer any questions I have in great detail (I've never felt like she's in a rush or not acknowledging my concerns as I have felt with doctors in other settings).
In follow-up appts, she's taken the time to look over my general health panel and allergy testing results and also elaborated on certain results in a very easy to understand way. Her years of experience and knowledge of both Traditional Chinese and Western medicine are quite evident! I arrive at each session feeling relaxed because of how genuinely caring Dr Qin is and I leave feeling even more relaxed because of the acupuncture treatment itself!

Dr Qin is nice and seems knowledgable however I didn't feel my first visit to be as effective. I have had acupuncture done before from a different provider which was just another level compared to what I got from Dr Qin. My session with her was not nearly half effective. My suggestion to all, please try a couple of places and then choose.

Dr Qin is a phenomenal acupuncturist! She's so knowledgeable and every appointment is relaxing and joyful- she's great to be around and that's important. When I saw her I was so imbalanced and her weekly treatments helped me rebalance overall and get to a better place physically and mentally actually. Our physical wellbeing playa a huge part of mental well-being too. Don't hesitate to call and make an appointment!
