Our Personalized Treatment Approach
The Science Behind Acupuncture:
The efficacy of acupuncture therapy has been validated by more than 10,000 studies in the United States. Acupuncture therapy provides evidence-based and non-pharmacological intervention. Acupuncture activates peripheral nerves and stimulates the central nervous system, triggering the release of neurochemical messenger molecules—which results in a biochemical change in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, to achieve pain reduction. Psychological elements of pain are mitigated by activating the autonomic nervous system—which decreases serum levels of the stress hormone corticosterone and releases neurotransmitters such as serotonin and endorphins. Acupuncture therapy integration into Western medicine is used to regulate pain, anxiety, and insomnia; treat infertility in men and women; and lessen pain and anxiety during cancer treatment. Acupuncture has been proven effective—and cost-effective—making this treatment an evidence-based choice for patients who are ready to improve their health!

How Many Acupuncture Sessions are Needed?
Each patient embarks on his or her own wellness journey as an individual, meaning your story is unique. During your initial visit, we will engage in a thorough discussion to explore your treatment options and determine the optimal number of acupuncture sessions required to accelerate your body’s healing process. We empower our patients to take an active role in their wellness journey, collaborating with those who are eager to break free from the cycle of feeling unwell!
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a complementary therapy used in acupuncture sessions to help your body heal faster. Cupping improves circulation, decreases inflammation, and removes toxins in the skin and muscles. Cupping involves sterile, round suction cups that are placed on various parts of the body—based on our evaluation of your pain and other symptoms. This is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical treatment often used with acupuncture therapy.
Gua Sha Treatment
Gua Sha is a small metal, curved, handheld device that is used to stimulate the skin to increase blood flow and circulation. Gua Sha treatment helps increase your body’s natural immunity and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used to relieve joint and muscle pain (back pain, neck pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.), and respiratory illnesses in children and adults.
