our Techniques
Acupuncture
Using thin sterile needles we can activate the healing process, regulate the body, alleviate pain. These are precise points which have been utilized for thousands of years.
Herbal Medicine
Herbs were commonly used before western pharmaceuticals were introduced. Treating and preventing medical conditions with herbs is naturally safe, as an overdose would cause irritation or nausea instead of landing in the emergency room. Dosages are carefully calculated to make a formula specialized for you.
Moxibustion
Ai Ye or mugwort is carefully burned on points either directly or on needles to add energy to the body or warm an area to promote healing.
Acupoint Injection Therapy
The injection of herbs, homeopathics, and other nutritional supplements in the form of sterile substances into acupuncture points by means of hypodermic needles but not intravenous therapy to promote, maintain, and restore health; for pain management and palliative care; for acupuncture anesthesia; and to prevent disease.
Tuina
Tuina is the original form of massage therapy using many techniques to reduce pain and promote mobility.
Gua Sha
Your practitioner may check for sha by pressing with the finger tips, usually in areas of chronic pain. If Sha is present, a gentle scraping technique with a polished piece of jade or a ceramic gua sha spoon is utilized to release the Sha which is trapped between the tissues of the body.
Myofascial Release
A safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.
Telehealth Consultation
We understand concerns with Covid-19, telehealth appointments are available if you prefer. We will run through many questions and use tongue diagnosis to determine a proper herbal treatment, food therapy and self care techniques. Herbal Formulas are customized for you not much more than a supplement you can buy over the counter. You will be sent a private meeting link when you book an appointment.
