The beauty of East Asian medicine lies in the diverse tools available for treatment. Many individuals find that combining acupuncture with guasha, cupping, and heat therapy during a single visit enhances their experience. In our office, you will receive careful, individualized attention along with a gentle, effective treatment plan that incorporates Chinese herbal formulations, tailored specifically for your body and your life.
Acupuncture
Insertion of very fine, sterile, and single-use needles in specific acupuncture points helps to balance meridian systems and address bio-mechanical blocks, a practice rooted in East Asian medicine often complemented by Chinese herbal formulation.
Moxibustion
The dried and ground herb of Artemisia vulgaris is commonly used in acupuncture to warm specific points and enhance the healing process, making it a valuable component in various Chinese herbal formulations within East Asian medicine.
Guasha
Gentle scrapping or rubbing of the skin with a smooth tool is a technique that not only facilitates the circulation of blood to the surface of the skin but also works harmoniously with practices such as acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulation in East Asian medicine to manipulate the fascial tissue layer.
Cupping
Glass or plastic cups, often used in conjunction with acupuncture techniques, create suction on the skin to enhance blood circulation, promote energy flow, and support the detoxification of tissues, much like principles found in traditional Chinese herbal formulation and East Asian medicine.
Chinese Herbal Formulation
Based upon a traditional Chinese Medicine evaluation and diagnosis, an acupuncture treatment and a Chinese herbal formulation (both Classical and modern) are matched to the presenting pattern to address the patient's underlying root cause leading to disease. By correcting the root cause, symptoms are relieved, and health and vitality are restored through the principles of East Asian medicine.
