Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine
The Ancient Healing Tradition Treating Today’s Health Concerns

At the core of East Asian Medicine, acupuncture is a 5,000 year old art of healing which includes herbology, nutrition, heat therapy, cupping, tui-na (medical massage-acupressure) qi gong, (therapeutic breathing exercise) and life style counseling. Acupuncture needles today are thin, sterile, single use, which are placed in various points of the body depending on each individual condition. The needles are generally left in place for 20-30 minutes while the patient relaxes.

Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Treats the Entire Person

Acupuncture and herbal medicine balance the body and mind to lead the patient to health and serenity. This approach considers the body as a whole for both diagnosis and treatment. It emphasizes the strengthening of the body and immune system so that the patient can overcome the disease or disability with his /her own organic resources. Acupuncture and herbal medicine treat not only distressing symptoms but the underlying causes as well, which facilitates lasting improvements.
