Every treatment starts with a Chinese medical diagnosis, and we choose and combine these eight disciplines based on what we find.
Acupuncture uses very fine needles at specific points on the body to restore normal circulation and nerve signalling. It is the fastest treatment we have for most kinds of pain, and it also helps with sleep, headaches, digestion and hormonal problems. Point selection depends on the diagnosis, not on where the symptom is.
A formula is a prescription, not a product. It combines six to twenty herbs based on your diagnosis and is rewritten as your condition changes. We dispense from our own stock as raw herbs, granules or capsules.
Tui na is Chinese therapeutic bodywork that works the muscle and the meridian at the same time. It combines soft tissue work with joint mobilization for neck, shoulder and back pain, old injuries and general stiffness. Technique is adjusted to your constitution.
Moxibustion warms specific acupuncture points with burning mugwort held just above the skin. It suits people who feel the cold, whose hands and feet do not warm up, and whose period pain eases with heat. It is usually combined with acupuncture.
Cupping uses suction to lift the tissue and draw stagnant blood toward the surface. Gua sha uses a smooth-edged tool stroked along the skin to release the same stagnation. Both are used for stubborn neck, shoulder and upper back tension that keeps returning.
Pediatric tui na is a separate discipline developed for children, with no needles and no medication. The practitioner uses gentle, directional strokes on the hands, arms, abdomen and back. It is used for appetite, digestion, sleep and low resistance.
Treatment follows the phases of your menstrual cycle and uses herbs and acupuncture over several months. It works alongside a medical fertility workup, IVF and IUI, not in place of them. We treat male partners as well.
We treat the exhaustion, lower back and hip pain, night sweats and lingering cold that often follow birth. Treatment is gentle and combines warming herbal formulas, moxibustion and light tui na. It is compatible with breastfeeding, and you can start at any time after the birth.
New patients start with a full assessment.
