Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles at specific points to regulate bodily functions, proven effective for pain management, neurological conditions, and chronic illnesses. This ancient practice enhances the body's self-healing capacity through systemic regulation. Patients experience relief from migraines, arthritis, and post-stroke symptoms through our personalized sessions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system deficiencies. Our practitioners combine centuries-old recipes with modern research to create synergistic blends that complement acupuncture treatments. Patients use these remedies for conditions ranging from Crohn's disease to women's health issues.

This approach integrates conventional treatments with complementary therapies, offering comprehensive solutions for complex health challenges through collaborative care.

Report
I have been seeing Dr. Amy for acupuncture treatments for about 6 months now. She has been dedicated to helping me with my fertility journey since day 1. Not once did I feel the judgement I have experienced by western medicine practitioners. She shows true compassion and understanding and takes the time to explain everything she is doing + what every herbal supplement will do for my body. I have seen tremendous improvement in my overall health and I am always super excited to share my progress with Dr. Amy---and she even returns my enthusiasm!
I am hopeful that we will continue to see great improvement and get to my fertility goals soon enough! I am thankful to share my journey with someone so passionate and remarkably gifted at what she does.

I love this place! Dr Amy is my doctor and she is excellent at what she does. She understands and is able to explain easily what Chinese medicine and European/American-based medicine have to offer. I enjoy working with her and seeing her. She has helped me with many injuries and other conditions. I highly recommend Dr. Ly Natural Health for acupuncture and cupping. I also have received physical therapy and massage there. Everything about this practice is 5 stars!

I see Dr. Amy Ly on a regular basis. She had helped me with so many issues including my neck and back. I recently had a spike in my blood pressure and after seeing her it returned to normal. Dr. Ly listens carefully to all of my issues and takes her time in explaining how her acupuncture can help. I have had amazing results and highly recommend her for any health issues.
