Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) identifies symptom patterns to treat the body holistically, considering physical and emotional health, lifestyle, diet, and medical & family medical history. Practitioners use acupuncture and acupressure, herbal medicine, gua sha, TuiNa (Chinese Medical Massage), and cupping to address musculoskeletal issues and promote healing. They also provide lifestyle guidance, including diet and movement therapy, to support self-care.

What types of modalities do you use at your clinic?
- Acupressure: Uses finger pressure, tuning fork vibration, or gua sha to stimulate acupuncture points. It can aid in weight loss, smoking cessation, and facial rejuvenation.
- Acupuncture: Inserts fine needles at specific points to balance the body’s energy and promote overall healing.
- Auricular Ear Reflexology: Stimulates ear points using magnetized pellets or vaccaria seeds (secured with surgical tape for 3–4 days) to promote healing, reduce pain, calm the mind, and ease cravings from addictions.
- Cupping: Applies suction with plastic or glass cups over areas of tension or acupuncture points to release stagnant blood and fascia, helping to reduce tension and detoxify.
- Dry Needling: Targets specific muscle trigger points with needles to alleviate muscle pain.
- Electrostimulation: Attaches electrical leads to acupuncture needles to gently boost energy flow at treatment points.
- Gua Sha: Involves lightly scraping the skin with a flat tool to bring blood to the surface, targeting acupressure points, tension areas, or adhesions. Often referred to the modern name “Graston’s Technique”
- Infrared therapy: Uses gentle heat and light waves to penetrate deep into the body, promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing relaxation. It is a soothing, non-invasive therapy that supports the body’s natural healing processes
- LED Light Therapy: Utilizes specific wavelengths of LED light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and promote skin rejuvenation and overall healing.
- Microneedling: Uses small needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production for skin rejuvenation.
- Moxibustion: Involves burning dried mugwort near acupuncture points to apply gentle heat, boost circulation, and enhance the body’s natural healing energy.
- Steam Therapy: Uses controlled warm steam to open pores, enhance circulation, and promote detoxification for skin rejuvenation, often incorporated in facial treatments.
What should I expect during my session?
A typical session involves a brief consultation, needle insertion at targeted points, and a period of relaxation. Some treatments may incorporate additional techniques like gua sha, cupping or electrostimulation.


How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies by condition and individual. Some patients experience relief after just one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments—typically ranging from 3-6 to 12-20 sessions—depending on the severity of the condition.
