Acupuncture is a healing practice that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote balance, relieve pain, and support overall wellness. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s energy pathways—known as meridians—to restore the proper flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy.
Modern research also shows that acupuncture can activate the nervous system, release endorphins, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, contributing to its effectiveness in treating a wide range of physical and emotional imbalances in the body.
Acupuncture is gentle, personalized, and safe when performed by a licensed acupuncturist. Whether you’re seeking relief from symptoms or looking to maintain balance and health, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to healing.
Cupping therapy, an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, typically using heat or a pump, to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain. Applied to areas like the back or shoulders, the suction draws skin and muscle upward, expanding blood vessels to enhance circulation, release toxins, and stimulate healing, often used for chronic pain, respiratory issues, or stress relief, though it may leave temporary circular marks.
Electroacupuncture, or "e-stim," delivers gentle electrical pulses through acupuncture needles to stimulate injured muscles or modulate nerves for pain relief. Unlike standard physical therapy, where electrical stimulation is applied via surface patches to contract muscles and ease pain, the use of needles in electroacupuncture allows deeper penetration of the stimulation. When combined with traditional acupuncture, e-stim enhances the treatment’s effectiveness for managing and alleviating pain.
Gua Sha, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) healing practice, promotes self-healing and pain relief by stimulating the body through scraping the skin with a rounded-edge tool, where "gua" means "to scrape" and "sha" refers to the red-purple petechiae that appear. In TCM, this discoloration signals unhealthy tissue or pathology due to blocked blood, fluid, or energy flow, which can cause pain or illness when obstructed. From a Western viewpoint, the red-purple marks indicate blood extravasation from skin vessels.
