Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapies We Offer

Acupuncture involves placing needles at specific points along the body’s meridians to help regulate Yin and Yang and encourage the smooth movement of Qi and blood.

Scope of Application Acute and chronic pain conditions (including neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, headaches, and arthritis), internal medicine concerns (such as insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders, and hypertension), surgical and soft tissue issues (including soft tissue injuries and skin conditions), gynecological concerns (such as irregular menstruation and menopausal syndrome), pediatric conditions (including indigestion and low immunity), men's health (including prostate enlargement, impotence, premature ejaculation, and sexual dysfunction), and aesthetic TCM applications (including acne management, anti-aging, weight management, skin lifting, and edema reduction).

Precautions Try not to arrive on an empty stomach or immediately after a very heavy meal. Extra caution is recommended for those who are pregnant or managing severe heart disease or bleeding disorders. Tell your acupuncturist if you take any anti-platelet or anticoagulant medications. After treatment, stay warm, avoid cold drafts, and wait at least 4 hours before bathing.

Based on TCM syndrome differentiation, Chinese Herbal Medicine uses carefully chosen formulas to help harmonize the organs’ Yin, Yang, Qi, and blood.

Scope of Application Internal medicine conditions (including stomach complaints, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease), gynecological concerns (such as menstrual disorders, infertility, and menopause), pediatric issues (including colds and indigestion), men's health (including kidney deficiency and impotence), recovery from chronic illness, and anti-aging and wellness support.

Precautions Herbal formulas should be used with guidance from a qualified TCM practitioner. If you’re taking Western medications, let your practitioner know so your herbal prescription can be adjusted appropriately. Pregnant women and anyone with special health circumstances should follow their practitioner’s instructions closely.

Cupping therapy uses negative pressure to draw the cup to the skin, which helps expand capillaries, encourage circulation, reduce stagnation, and support the body in expelling wind and cold.

Scope of Application Colds, coughs, asthma, rheumatic joint pain, and muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and back arising from wind-cold pathogens.

Precautions Cupping should not be performed on broken or irritated skin and is not appropriate for people with bleeding disorders. Pregnant women should not receive cupping over the abdomen or lower back. Extra care is advised for elderly patients. After your session, stay protected from cold exposure, avoid overexertion, and wait before bathing to help prevent wind-cold from entering through the pores.

Moxibustion applies therapeutic heat from burning moxa leaves to stimulate acupuncture points, warm the meridians, and nourish vital energy.

Scope of Application Deficiency-cold constitutions, menstrual cramps, chronic gastrointestinal conditions, rheumatic pain, asthma, and general fatigue or cold extremities.

Precautions Treatment should always be performed carefully to prevent burns. Moxibustion is not suitable for people with high fever or constitutions marked by excess heat. Individuals with diabetic neuropathy should use extreme caution. Pregnant women should avoid treatment on the abdomen and sacral areas.

Tui Na uses focused manual techniques along the meridians, muscles, and joints to help harmonize Qi and blood, loosen tendon-held tension, and improve circulation in specific areas.

Scope of Application Neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, muscle strain, sports injuries, indigestion, and pediatric conditions such as cough or constipation.

Precautions Tui Na should not be performed over open wounds, active skin infections, or areas affected by bone tumors. Deep abdominal work is not appropriate during pregnancy. For elderly patients or those with osteoporosis, only gentle techniques should be used.

Prepared herbal pastes or powders are applied to specific acupoints or directly over areas of discomfort, allowing the herbs’ properties to be absorbed through the skin where support is most needed.

Scope of Application This method is often used for rheumatic joint pain, persistent waist and leg pain, asthma, rhinitis, pediatric cough conditions (including San-Fu-Tie), and a range of skin concerns.

Precautions Apply cautiously on delicate or reactive skin, and do not place plasters over broken skin or open wounds. If you notice significant redness, swelling, or itching, remove the plaster and stop use right away.

Lasting wellness is built both inside and outside the treatment room. In lifestyle counseling, we look at your health from a wider angle—your sleep, movement, stress patterns, and the daily habits that influence how you feel. Recommendations are rooted in TCM and tailored to your individual constitution and current circumstances.
