Acupuncture--very fine, high-quality needles inserted into specific points along acupuncture meridians (channels or pathways that carry energy through the body.

Moxibustion--a concentrated form of heat infused with healing herbs which are used to stimulate acupuncture points, direct qi and provide energy to the body.

Cupping--the inside of a special cup is heated to produce a vacuum, then rubbed or place on the skin to help promote blood circulation. Cupping is an effective treatment to remove pathogens if used at the beginning of a common cold.

Chinese Herbal Medicine--usually prescribed as a combination of herbs known as an herbal formula, which has a medicinal effect with few side effects. The herbs can be in pill form or as "raw" herbs. Raw herbs refer to individual herbs, for example, dried roots, leaves or flowers, which are prescribed to be cooked together to make a custom formula.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)--a specialized form of massage therapy that is used to work on soft tissue (muscles, tendons and connective tissue such as fascia), which in turn helps balance the central nervous system. This therapy can help alleviate pain due to trigger points in the muscles which block the tissues from getting the proper blood and nourishment. An NMT therapist addresses musculoskeletal imbalances that may be creating poor postural alignment, as well as working with injuries, repetitive stress, and chronic pain and stiffness.

Tui-na--a form of Chinese medical massage that is often used for a specific area of tension in conjunction with an acupuncture treatment.

Hot/Cold Therapy--this may be infrared heat lamp therapy, or a form of treatment that combines hot and cold packs to relieve inflammation, reduce swelling, and increase circulation to reduce pain and promote healing.

Electro-stimulation--a mild electrical current applied by way of acupuncture needles to provide a steady, precise therapeutic stimulation of selected acupuncture points and local areas.

Lifestyle changes--by taking a thorough interview on the first visit, and as we get to know our patients, we can help with nutritional counseling, exercise therapies, and other lifestyle changes which can have a big impact on overall health in addition to our other holistic services.
