Lower & Upper Back Pain
If you’re dealing with lower back pain, upper back pain, or sciatica—whether it began recently or has been ongoing for years—acupuncture and TCM therapies can offer supportive, non-drug options without turning to surgery.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
From a TCM perspective, back pain may reflect disrupted flow of Qi and blood in the body’s channels. We may use acupuncture to help open those pathways, cupping to promote circulation, and herbal medicine to support inflammation management and strengthen the back over time.
Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder discomfort—whether it shows up as tension, stiffness, or aching—can be connected to stress, posture habits, or an older injury. Natural, targeted therapies may help ease symptoms and improve comfort.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, neck and shoulder pain is often described as Qi stagnation and blood stasis affecting the related channels. Care may include acupuncture to address trigger points, Tui Na to reduce muscle tightness, and cupping to help encourage circulation in the area.
Arthritis and Joint Pain
We provide natural options to support the management of pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and general joint inflammation.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, arthritis is often categorized as “Bi Syndrome,” where factors such as wind, cold, dampness, or heat can obstruct the joints. Treatment is directed at clearing these influences, helping settle inflammation, and supporting overall strength and resilience.
Headaches and Migraines
For people experiencing tension headaches, migraines, or recurring head pain, we offer a medication-free approach focused on meaningful symptom relief.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
TCM describes multiple headache patterns, such as Liver Yang rising, Blood deficiency, and headaches related to external pathogenic influences. After identifying the pattern that best matches your symptoms, we tailor care using acupuncture and herbal medicine to address underlying imbalances.
Mental & Emotional Health
Supportive, attentive care for stress, anxiety, depression, and overall emotional wellbeing
Anxiety and Panic
Drug-free, natural care for those living with anxiety, panic attacks, and persistent feelings of nervousness.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, anxiety may be associated with Heart and Kidney disharmony, Liver Qi stagnation, or disruption of the Shen (spirit). Treatment is designed to calm the Shen, support smooth Qi movement, and nourish the involved organ systems to help restore emotional balance.
Depression and Low Mood
Whole-person, holistic support for people navigating depression, low energy, and reduced motivation.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
TCM often connects depression with patterns such as Liver Qi stagnation, Heart Blood deficiency, or Spleen Qi deficiency. Care focuses on helping move stagnant Qi, addressing underlying deficiencies, and gently supporting improvements in mood and overall vitality.
Insomnia and Sleep Concerns
Gentle, natural care for people who struggle to fall asleep, wake up again and again during the night, or wake feeling unrefreshed even after spending plenty of time in bed.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, interrupted sleep is often linked to patterns such as a Heart–Kidney imbalance, heat from Yin deficiency, or a Shen that can’t fully settle. Our care aims to support deeper rest by nourishing Yin, calming the Heart, and helping ground the Shen.
Stress and Burnout
If ongoing stress or burnout has started to erode how you feel day to day, we provide supportive care focused on rebalancing your system and helping you regain resilience over time.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
From a TCM viewpoint, long-term stress can drain Qi and contribute to Liver Qi stagnation. We work to move and regulate Liver Qi, support areas of deficiency that may develop over time, and include practical stress-management strategies to help you reestablish balance and strengthen resilience.
Digestive Health
Targeted support for digestive concerns, with a focus on long-term gut health
IBS and Digestive Concerns
Supportive care for IBS, bloating, gas, and the day-to-day discomfort that can come with digestive trouble.
Common Symptoms

Acid Reflux and GERD
Using a natural, TCM-informed approach, we provide supportive care for heartburn, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
TCM describes reflux as Stomach Qi moving upward when it should descend, often alongside patterns such as heat or phlegm. Treatment aims to guide Stomach Qi downward, clear contributing heat, and strengthen overall digestive function.
Constipation Support
Thoughtful, supportive care for chronic constipation and bowel habits that feel inconsistent or unpredictable.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, constipation may arise from different underlying patterns, including Qi stagnation, Blood deficiency, Yin deficiency, or Spleen Qi weakness. Because the root pattern can vary, we tailor care to the individual with the goal of supporting healthier, more regular bowel function.

Allergies and Hay Fever
Supportive, natural care for seasonal allergies, hay fever, and reactions to common environmental triggers.

Asthma Support
Complementary TCM care for asthma, with attention to helping reduce how often episodes occur and how intense they feel.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
TCM commonly links asthma with Lung and Kidney deficiency along with phlegm in the airways. Treatment aims to support Lung and Kidney function, transform and resolve phlegm, and help decrease overall airway reactivity.
Persistent Cough
Supportive care for an ongoing cough that hasn’t improved with conventional treatment options.
Common Symptoms
Our Approach
In TCM, a chronic cough may stem from a few different underlying patterns, such as Lung Yin deficiency, Lung Heat, or Phlegm accumulation. After we determine which pattern best fits your presentation, care is customized to correct that imbalance at the root.

Recurring Colds & Flu
Supporting immune health may help you get sick less often and, when colds or respiratory infections occur, may help reduce how intense they feel.
