Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that involves inserting fine needles into a patient’s body at specific points along the energy pathways called meridians, allowing the body to balance itself and restore health. Treatments can treat and prevent a wide range of health problems and are proven to be safe and effective. Acupuncture will complement all prescribed medications, surgical or chemo treatments.

Our center uses only high-quality, sterile, one-time-use needles.

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place.

The use of herbs burned above or on the skin in order to warm regions and acupuncture points. This technique stimulates the circulation through the points and induces a smoother flow of blood and energy.

Traditionally, it is one of the more important modalities utilized in traditional Chinese medicine. Herbal therapy works in conjunction with acupuncture by providing support for the energetic rebalancing of the body. Each herbal medicine prescription is a combination of several herbs tailored to the individual patient.
