Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments begin with comprehensive health assessments followed by personalized needle insertion using sterile, ultra-thin needles. Practitioners target specific meridian points to address both symptoms and underlying imbalances. Sessions incorporate relaxation techniques to enhance therapeutic effects through endorphin release and improved circulation.
Cupping Therapy
This ancient technique uses controlled suction to stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension. Therapists apply glass cups to targeted areas, creating micro-traumas that trigger natural healing responses. Commonly used for pain management and musculoskeletal conditions, with temporary skin markings resolving within a week.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal prescriptions combine centuries-tested formulations with modern customization. Patients receive either standardized tinctures or personalized blends from our Grassroots Herbs pharmacy. Treatments address chronic conditions and support ongoing wellness between acupuncture sessions through internal medicine principles.
Electroacupuncture
Advanced electroacupuncture combines traditional needle placement with electrical stimulation. Battery-powered devices deliver controlled pulses through connected needles, enhancing pain relief through increased endorphin production. This technique amplifies treatment effectiveness for chronic pain and neurological conditions compared to manual acupuncture alone.
Microneedling
Professional microneedling treatments use medical-grade devices to create controlled micro-injuries in facial skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging. Each session includes complementary acupuncture to enhance overall vitality and skin health through holistic approaches.
