Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatments utilize fine stainless steel needles to stimulate specific meridian points, restoring energy flow and addressing conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and digestive disorders. Our practitioners employ precise point selection based on comprehensive diagnostic analysis. This therapy effectively treats musculoskeletal issues, neurological conditions, and stress-related ailments while promoting overall wellness through natural energy regulation.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Customized herbal formulations address diverse health concerns through internal consumption and external applications. We provide medicated plasters, ointments, and nasal drops formulated for specific conditions like arthritis, respiratory issues, and gynecological disorders. Our herbal protocols complement acupuncture treatments, offering sustained therapeutic effects for chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders through natural plant-based compounds.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, enhancing circulation and energy flow. This therapy effectively treats cold-related conditions, menstrual irregularities, and digestive weakness. By stimulating specific points with controlled heat, we address chronic pain, immune system deficiencies, and neurological conditions like facial paralysis through enhanced blood circulation and meridian activation.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping creates localized suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. This treatment addresses back pain, respiratory congestion, and post-injury recovery by promoting blood flow and toxin removal. Our practitioners use glass or silicone cups strategically placed to treat chronic pain syndromes, sports injuries, and stress-related muscular conditions through enhanced lymphatic drainage and tissue oxygenation.

Dietary Therapy

Personalized dietary recommendations align with Chinese medicine principles to restore internal balance. We provide food-based treatment plans for digestive disorders, metabolic conditions, and immune system support. Our approach combines traditional food energetics with modern nutritional science to address chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and digestive imbalances through customized meal planning and food-as-medicine strategies.

Dr. Du has really helped my wife. She'd been bounced around several doctors over the past few years with no improvement and about given up hope. We tried another acupuncture place that disappointed, Evergreen really was the last attempt. Dr. Du delivered. With a combination of acupuncture and herbs my wife is finally feeling better and getting some life back. Getting her cared for is my first priority, but I'm looking forward to having her work on my back and knees in the coming months.

I'm also happy to say they work great with insurance. Ming (hope I got the spelling right) runs an organized, efficient office and her speaking so highly of Dr. Du when we first called is what got us in and I'm so glad she actually undersold her a little.

Dr. Du is very knowledgeable and takes her time to identify your problem areas and create a treatment plan. I had horrible jaw pain due to TMJ, after my first visit I could see a dramatic difference. I have already recommended to a friend who was having issues after COVID and she had a great experience as well. I also would like to add that the office is very clean and her staff is very professional.

Dr. Guorong Du helped me mitigating the pain with kidney stone by receiving her acupuncture treatment and removing my kidney stone by taking her prescribed Chinese herb medicine. Dr. Du rescued me with her decades of medical experience. She was able to provide me with a fast and accurate diagnosis, and treated me using Chinese medicine without any invasive medical procedures. Especially with the COVID-19 situation, my age and underlying medical conditions put me in the higher risk group, so I am so glad that Dr. Du helped me so quickly and saved me from having to endure the pain for a long time, and saved me from the hassle and expenses of going to the emergency room. I am very impressed by Dr. Du's medical skills. And I am very touched by her sincerity!

My left knee started to hurt five months ago, and then it swelled and it was difficult to walk. I went to a doctor several times and there was no good way to treat it. After someone introduced, I went to Dr. Du's clinic. After her first acupuncture treatment, the swelling and pain was greatly reduced. Under Dr. Du's meticulous treatment in the past three months, my knee has fully recovered. Thank you Dr. Du very much! Doctor Du is kind and pleasant personality. Her clinic is clean and comfortable. This shows how good is Dr. Du's clinic. It also shows the magic of acupuncture and how great is the Chinese medicine!

I have been going to Dr. Du for over one year. She is the real deal! She cares about her patients and is committed to health promotion and well-being. She always asks about my diet and makes food recommendations to support my health. I highly recommend her.
