We will use one or more of the following Oriental Medicine treatment strategies to treat you:

▪   Acupuncture: the insertion of very fine, sterile and single-use needles placed in specific acupuncture points to assist in restoring disharmonies.

▪   Moxibustion: mugwort is used to warm acupuncture points and accelerates the healing process.

▪   Herbal Therapy: prescription of herbal formulas consisting of 5-15 herbs that are individualized for each patient’s condition.

▪   Tuina/Acupressure: massaging techniques to activate channel and organ systems.

▪   Guasha: rubbing of the skin with a jade/porcelain tool to facilitate the blood circulation.

▪   Cupping: glass or plastic cups create suction on the skin to increase circulation and release deep rooted lactic acid.

▪   Nutritional Counseling: specific foods can be added or avoided to help strengthen the body.

▪   Electrical Stimulation: acupuncture needles are inserted and then small alligator clips are placed on the needles. The small 9-volt battery operated machine is then turned on and micro-current stimulates the acupuncture point. E-stim reduces inflammation and releases endorphins.  This is similar to the TENS unit that physical therapists use.

▪   Lifestyle Coaching: tips to help you live at your best!
