Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Yellow Emperor ruled ancient China.
His reign is remembered as a time of balance and harmony.
It was during this time that Chinese Medicine was first codified as a systematic science, and first made available to everyone.
To us, the Yellow Emperor's name evokes not only the long history of Chinese Medicine, but also a recog-nition that all people deserve affordable access to this ancient wisdom.
In the mid-1990s, Charles became interested in community medicine while providing acupressure to HIV/AIDS patients at a community clinic in San Francisco.

Sliding scale can mean a lot of things.
For us it means that we expect patients to pay for services within a certain range ($20-$40), but we have a range rather than a set rate because we want you to pay what you can afford so that money isn't the determining factor in your treatment plan.
Below is a chart to help you decide how much you can afford.
It is important to us that you take your course of treatment seriously and come in as often and as many times as is necessary to get good results.
If cost is a barrier for any reason at any time, talk to us.

Acupuncture is a health system that has been used in China for over 2,500 years and is now used widely throughout the world.
Acupuncture involves the placement of hair-thin metal filaments at specific points just below the skin's surface to quiet the nervous system.
This opens energetic pathways of circulation throughout the body which may be blocked due to illness or injury.
The free flow of this circulation enhances the body's natural tendency and ability to heal itself.
Acupuncture improves circulation to speed up healing of chronic and acute pain and injuries.

Instead of tables, we use recliners arranged in a common treatment room.
We charge very affordable sliding scale rates designed to fit your budget.
By relying on points in your hands and legs to access the channels of the body, we can treat virtually any condition.
The recliners are far more comfortable for most people than tables.
They prefer not getting out of their clothes, and they don't miss being isolated in a room by themselves.
