Services

Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese medical technique using fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body. This treatment restores balance to the body's energy flow by targeting meridians that connect organ systems. Patients receive personalized treatment plans addressing chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and systemic imbalances through weekly sessions lasting 45-60 minutes.

Microcurrent Therapy

Low-level electrical stimulation treatment that modulates brainwave activity and reduces pain signals. This non-invasive therapy delivers targeted currents to affected areas, showing measurable improvements in anxiety, depression, and chronic pain conditions within 4-6 sessions. Clinical studies demonstrate its effectiveness in increasing alpha brainwave activity associated with relaxation.

Cupping Therapy

Ancient Chinese technique using controlled suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. Glass or silicone cups create localized pressure that draws stagnant blood to the surface, promoting healing in deep tissue areas. Patients typically experience immediate pain relief with effects lasting several days following each 15-20 minute session.

Herbal Medicine

Customized botanical formulations supporting internal balance and wellness. Each prescription combines multiple herbs working synergistically to address specific health concerns like hormonal imbalances or digestive issues. Patients receive ongoing guidance about proper preparation methods and potential interactions with conventional medications.

Graston Therapy

Specialized soft tissue mobilization using stainless steel instruments to break down scar tissue. This technique effectively treats chronic inflammation and fibrosis by stimulating the body's natural healing response. Patients typically see improvement in range of motion and pain reduction within 4-6 treatment sessions.

I'm active, lots of swimming and surfing and yoga and the odd hack around 18holes. Hence my consistently tight neck/shoulders. but there is hope! Dr. Reza will get straight to your issues with effective modalities, I'm particularly fond of the cupping. He knows his stuff, and I always walk out of there much looser, lighter, taller and recharged.

I highly recommend this place. I have been helped more than I ever expected. I like the way I am treated and the help I get in scheduling appointments and getting reminders for them. I appreciate that if an emergency comes up and I have to reschedule my appointment, they are very understanding and helpful.

This was my first time trying acupuncture and came in for fertility purposes. Reza was extremely professional and listened to my concerns. He gave me some pointers for deep breathing exercises to reduce anxiety. I felt amazing after leaving, already recommended a few family and friends.

I cannot stress enough what a godsend Ray was when I saw him regularly. He did what no doctor could do despite throwing prescriptions at me, with so many side effects. My migraines were fewer and farther in between. The inflammation in my neck and face went down. My knots began loosening a little finally. If my insurance hadn't changed so many times in the interim, I would've continued going to him. And am hoping I can find a way to return. If you've been struggling with pain and inflammation, I highly recommend going to Ray.

Modern doctor, I've done the recommended treatment for sinuses and shoulder/back pain. He uses a variety of techniques, from guasha, cupping, gliding cups, acupuncture, and electric stimulation. Additional "new age" techniques that you might not find at other offices are things like: NuCalm patch on your forearm, binaural beats, and low frequency emitter to help your body enter a state of healing and rejuvenation.

It worked well for me, I always felt very calm during the treatment and even after so I highly recommend that. He is attentive and will listen to your pain points and concerns at the beginning of each session and will try his best to address them.

Came in for a pain I been having in my neck. Reza has been treating my neck and back by cupping followed with acupuncture. He has also provided me with some exercises to do at home. Ever since I have been going to him my pain has gone down. My posture has been improving. My stress levels have gone down. I am overall more relaxed. I am becoming more knowledgeable about my own body. I also love the relaxing music that's played during the sessions and the overall feel of the place.
