- Acupuncture
- Acupuncture is a 5000 year old complete diagnostic medical system from China that can accurately diagnose, treat and even prevent illness. It is a safe, effective and painless way to treat a wide variety of health conditions and concerns. We all have life energy called QI (chee) flowing through specific pathways or meridians. Sometimes blockages can occur. When this happens we experience symptoms of pain, sickness or more accurately imbalances. Acupuncture is the insertion of pre-sterilized, single-use needles into points along the body that access this Qi and re-establish balance in the individual.
- Clinical Nutrition
- Clinical Nutrition is a new and exciting therapy that we use to raise the level of wellness in each patient. With Standard Process whole food nutritional supplements we are able to modulate your body's function at the cellular level improving energy, mood and overall health.
- Chinese Herbal Medicine
- Chinese Herbs have been used in China for thousands of years and have taken great care of the Chinese people throughout their history. There are over 350 herbs we choose from to treat a wide variety of symptoms. They are easier for the body to process than western pharmaceuticals. We provide herbal prescriptions in pill form for your convenience. Most prescriptions cost less than $30.
- Shiatsu
- The Japanese word Shiatsu means finger pressure. This is the main technique that the practitioner uses on the patient while giving Shiatsu. Like acupuncture, Shiatsu focuses on the flow of Qi, or life energy that circulates through the body in specific channels or pathways. We like to incorporate this into a treatment when needed. It feels great and helps to relax and open the meridians we choose to treat.
- Tuina
- Tuina is Chinese Massage and, like Chinese Medicine, it started around 2700B.C. Techniques within the practice of Tuina focus on pressure points located on the body that will have a curative effect on the patient. Tuina is much more specific than general massage in application but the same wonderful relaxing benefits are felt by those who experience this ancient style of bodywork.
