Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a core Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment that uses thin, sterile needles at specific body points to stimulate natural healing. It is suitable for patients of all ages seeking relief from acute or chronic pain, or support for managing PMS, allergies, asthma, depression, and insomnia. Our licensed practitioners customize each session to your unique needs for effective results.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a TCM practice that uses customized natural herb blends to address underlying health imbalances rather than just surface symptoms. It is appropriate for patients seeking complementary support for pain management, digestive issues, and immune function. Our practitioner holds a Bastyr University Certificate of Chinese Herbal Medicine to create safe, tailored formulations for each patient.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture is a TCM treatment that attaches small electrodes to acupuncture needles to deliver gentle, continuous electrical stimulation to targeted body points. It is ideal for patients seeking enhanced relief from chronic pain, muscle tension, and neurological discomfort. Our licensed practitioners adjust stimulation intensity to each patients tolerance to maximize therapeutic benefit.
Cupping
Cupping is a TCM therapy that uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood flow, release muscle tension, and promote natural healing processes. It is well-suited for patients experiencing muscle soreness, stiffness, respiratory congestion, and inflammation. We use sterile, single-use cups for every session to ensure maximum safety and hygiene.
Tui Na
Tui na, also called Chinese medical massage, is a TCM bodywork therapy using manual manipulation to address musculoskeletal issues and promote overall wellness. It is appropriate for patients dealing with chronic muscle pain, joint stiffness, sports injuries, and stress-related tension. Our practitioners customize each session to target your specific discomfort areas for effective, long-lasting relief.
