Acupuncture & Herbs For Pain Relief and More

Chinese medicine has been used as a healthcare modality for more than 2,000 years. Today, acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, and other traditional therapies continue to be explored and practiced around the world. We take an integrative approach to care, offering treatments and services designed to complement your overall health and wellness alongside regular screenings and care from your medical providers.

As modern research continues to explore the mechanisms and benefits of these time-tested therapies, a growing body of scientific literature is examining how Chinese medicine may support a variety of health and wellness goals. We believe traditional wisdom and modern healthcare can work together to provide a thoughtful, personalized approach to your well-being.

What To Expect

Our first consultation is designed to get to know you. We ask very detailed questions about your daily routines, including your nutrition, digestion, elimination, menses, sleep patterns, exercise/movement practices, medications, supplements, and how you manage stress and pain. We feel your pulse, look at your tongue, and create a treatment plan just for you that will include acupuncture, herbal medicine, or a combination of the two. 

Herbal Medicine

While acupuncture and cupping have become widely known, herbs are the heart of Chinese medicine. The plant and mineral-based formulas we make in our clinic have been in use for centuries. Chinese herbal medicine consists of custom herbal blends made from time-tested ingredients in pharmaceutical-grade, convenient powdered form. Our powders are easily consumed on the go, 2-3 times per day. Chinese herbal medicine is extremely safe and effective when used under the direction of a licensed professional. It is amazing how powerful this medicine is today. 

Nutrition

Traditional medicine also encourages a whole foods, nutrient-dense diet tailored to the individual. We will give you resources based on your needs to fine tune your diet and fill in any gaps. We may suggest specific foods, vitamins, minerals, or nutritional supplements that may be purchased in office or via our online store.

Availability and Scheduling

We schedule patients Monday through Friday; we consult in person in our clinic, and via tele-health with California residents. If you have questions, or are ready to make an appointment, please call our office.
