Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments utilize traditional techniques including body, scalp, and auricular acupuncture to address chronic pain, migraines, and neurological disorders. With over four decades of clinical experience, we employ evidence-based protocols to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Patients report significant improvements in conditions ranging from fibromyalgia to post-stroke recovery through our personalized treatment plans.
Facial Rejuvenation
This specialized treatment combines micro-needling with traditional acupuncture to improve skin elasticity and reduce facial wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production and enhancing blood circulation, our technique offers natural anti-aging benefits without invasive procedures. Patients appreciate the non-surgical alternative that also addresses TMJ disorders and facial nerve paralysis.
Cupping Therapy
Our cupping therapy uses controlled suction to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation for conditions like frozen shoulder and back pain. This ancient technique effectively reduces inflammation and promotes detoxification through enhanced blood flow. Patients experience immediate relief from chronic muscle stiffness and improved range of motion after treatment sessions.
Herbal Consultation
Custom herbal prescriptions complement our acupuncture treatments for digestive disorders, respiratory issues, and hormonal imbalances. We use premium quality herbs following strict safety standards to create personalized formulas that address root causes of health conditions. Patients benefit from our integrative approach combining herbal medicine with lifestyle modifications.
Dietary Consultation
Our nutritional counseling applies Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to modern dietary needs, addressing food sensitivities and metabolic disorders. Patients receive personalized eating plans that complement their acupuncture treatments for weight management and chronic condition control. This holistic approach helps improve digestion and energy levels through natural food therapy.

Honestly don't know why my primary care doctor recommended acupuncture for me. I don't have chronic pain, my condition is PCOS, and my issues aren't anything that acupuncture could really help with, but I decided to give it a try. I absolutely cannot review how acupuncture/Mr. Yu can help with your pain, because I didn't go for pain. But I found his bedside manner deeply irritating because he made a lot of judgemental statements about my lifestyle and appearance.
I was fat-shamed repeatedly, and he kept insisting that I would change my mind about having children (which I said I was NOT interested in, because he assumed that I was seeking treatment for fertility reasons due to my PCOS). Ultimately, the acupuncture didn't do anything for me, and I spent about ten minutes being patronized by an older man who kept saying that I was too fat to even be eating fruit, before he poked me with needles and left me alone in a dark room for 40 minutes (which was the best part).

I highly recommend you to checkout with Dr. Yu if you got muscle/tendon injured and cannot recover in a week. My right arm was injured when snowboarding. It couldn't fully stretched and hurt a lot after 2 to 3 days. It got worse after 3 weeks. My physician told me the muscle kept cramp because the fascia was injured. She recommended me to medical massage. But all medical massage clinics nearby were fully booked.
So I tried with Dr Yu. It's my first time to experience acupuncture. A little hurt and scared but not too much. Dr. Yu also used cupping to treat my arm. Magically after 5 treatments, my arm has fully recovered! I'll visit Dr. Yu again if similar situation happens but hopefully I won't injure myself again.

Dr. Yu is a master of acupuncture. I had back pains for years and had tried everything. It didn't help that much, I also tried other acupuncturists, it didn't work. Until I met Dr. Yu. Only two treatments, my pain was gone. I couldn't believe it. It was like a magic. Dr. Yu knows what he is doing, it is a science with many years training, Dr. Yu has it all. Thank you! Diana

Dr. Yu was fantastic. I literally couldn't move for three days. One treatment later and I got off from the table and well not quite ready for somersaults or jumping jacks I was almost fixed. He is very kind very gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.
