Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This ancient practice effectively addresses pain management, stress reduction, and various health conditions. Our treatments follow evidence-based protocols developed through decades of clinical research and WHO guidelines.
Acupressure
Acupressure uses targeted manual pressure on specific points to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This needle-free alternative promotes deep relaxation and addresses similar conditions as acupuncture. Our practitioners apply techniques refined through extensive clinical experience treating musculoskeletal and stress-related disorders.
Herbology
Customized herbal formulations address individual health needs using time-tested Chinese medicinal principles. We combine traditional knowledge with modern research to create effective treatment plans. Our herbal teas complement acupuncture treatments for enhanced therapeutic outcomes in managing chronic conditions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique effectively treats pain conditions and respiratory issues. Our practitioners integrate cupping with other therapies for comprehensive pain management solutions.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat to acupuncture points using mugwort to stimulate circulation and healing. This technique particularly benefits pain management and women's health. Our practitioners use precise temperature control to ensure safe, effective treatments for various conditions.

Report
The acupuncturist, Ms. Wang, was not wearing her mask in her receptionists office. I can't comment if she does or doesn't wear her mask in her own office because although she didn't have her receptionist check, or believe me when I told her I called my insurance ahead of time to confirm, she insisted because she had "never seen this group number" that she was not covered by my policy.
I had driven 35 minutes in bad weather to make the appointment at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. She insisted I call my insurance again and reschedule with her. I thought that aside from her wearing her mask incorrectly and endangering her patients and certainly her poor receptionist, who seemed very sweet, that was incredibly inconsiderate of her. I would not recommend this acupuncturist.
