How does acupuncture work? Acupuncture is one of the many techniques in Chinese Medicine using fine needles places in certain areas of the body depending on areas of imbalance or pain in the body. It opens up circulations and relaxes the nervous systems.

We treat joint pains, headache, insomnia, fertility focus conditions, menstrual pain, fertility issues, post surgery pain and recovery, cancer treatment side effects including nerve pain or nausea during/post chemotherapy, severe dryness from radiation therapy, post stroke recovery, bell’s palsy.
Do you do cupping? Yes. We incorporate cupping depending on if it is needed. Cupping is excellent to bring circulation up to the skin area and loosening up tight fascia. It is especially good for cold/flu conditions, post exercise recovery and tight fascia conditions.
Do you do moxibustion? Yes. Moxibustion or moxa is commonly used in breech condition to help turn baby to be in a head down position for birth.
How many sessions will I need to feel better? As a general rule, the more severe and chronic the condition, the more number of treatments it could take.
