Acupuncture, simply stated is a health science which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body.
Acupuncture has its roots deeply planted in China. In fact, authorities agree the science is between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. Its use spread throughout ancient Egypt, the Middle East, the Roman Empire and later into Western Europe as merchants and missionaries to China told of the amazing discoveries the people of the Orient had developed.
Acupuncture did not become known on a national level in the U.S. until 1971 when diplomatic relations between China and America were relaxed.
​
At first glimpse, Acupuncture appears strange, as its primary notoriety is the utilization of needles placed in the skin at various locations to relieve pain or affect a body part.
​
Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network transversing just below the surface of the skin which communicates from the exterior to the internal organs and structures at over 1,000 “Acupoints” on the body.
This energy works in harmony with the body’s circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and all other systems of the body. When this vital energy becomes blocked or weakened, an effect in a body system or anatomic location becomes evident. Stimulation of one or a combination of key “Acupoints” on the body can restore harmony to the affected area.
​
Historians have stated, “More people have benefited from Acupuncture over the course of fifty centuries than the combined total of all other healing sciences , both ancient and modern

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine may be used as a
stand-alone treatment for some clients or as an adjunctive and supportive component to those receiving acupuncture treatments as well. Your practitioner will discuss your plan of care and estimated amount of time you may need to be taking a particular formula. Formulas are often changed to stay up to date with the client's evolving patterns. This is a dynamic and powerful piece of your treatment which carries a low incidence of side effects when prescribed by a licensed herbalist.
Chinese Medicine practitioners are trained to utilize specific massage techniques to amplify your treatment and may teach you some techniques as well to practice at home for your particular condition.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is used as a
stand-alone treatment for some clients and as an adjunctive or supportive component for others.
​
This is a dynamic and powerful tool with thousands of years of use, refinement and documentation. Formulas and their doses are changed often as patterns and symptoms change.
​
The use of single herbs is a modern take on herbalism, whereas classical herbalism is a science of herb combining to bring about stronger healing responses than the herbs could generate on their own.
​
Herbal medicine is the highly refined grandchild of Dietary Therapies. One example is ginger, as it helps reduce nausea on it's own, it is often added to formulas to increase absorption of herbs which are known to be more difficult to digest.
Dietary Counseling
Chinese Medicine has a rich history of employing food as medicine to increase
longevity. Once your practitioner has
diagnosed your underlying patterns of
disharmony, advice will be offered promoting or disuading particular cooking styles,ingredients or eating habits.
Tui-Na Massage
Chinese Medicine practitioners are trained to add specific massage techniques known as Tui-Na to amplify your treatment and may teach you some techniques to practice at home to help your particular patterns or conditions.
Pediatric Treatments
Cupping & Gua Sha
Ages 0-14, Children and Adolescents are typically more resilient than adults and require less intervention in order to improve their health.
​
Dietary and Lifestyle recommendations go very far in this age group.Children with colds, sore throats, fevers, cholic, anxiety, digestive complaints, restlessness, insomnia, tremors can all find long-term benefits with Chinese Medicine. Particular massage techniques can also be used and taught to parents in order to give treatments at home.
Some of the many adjunct techniques taught to Chinese Medicine practitioners, these tools are used along-side our other skills in order to compliment our treatments and improve
outcomes.
​
Both Gua Sha and Cupping increase blood flow into blocked and stagnant tissues, allowing the body to begin repair work and flush out toxins and metabolic wastes. The result being that soft tissue becomes more elastic and pliable.
StemWave
StemWave is a brand of a technology known as shockwave therapies. This groundbreaking, non-invasive therapy is used to treat difficult inflammatory pain conditions.
​
A directed sound wave is sent through diseased tissues such as tendons and bone to stimulate a healing response from the body.
Conditions being successfully treated in the clinic include arthritic hands, feet, inflammation in ankles, knees, hips and shoulders.
​
Used in conjunction with other therapies in our clinic, this has been a great addition for difficult inflammatory conditions.
​
Tuning Fork Therapy
We come from light and sound and return to light and sound again one day. As frequencies move through our bodies, our cells light up in response and our nervous system settles into a restful parasympathetic mode.
​
The tuning forks are rung out and the base of the handle is placed on acupuncture points to transmit the frequencies through the meridians, fascia and organs.
We often employ tuning forks in cases where anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD are part of the client's presentation.
The methods employed are influenced by the Tama-Do system.
