Acupuncture is a technique in which very thin needles of varying lengths are inserted through the skin at specific anatomical points to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The procedure is generally painless, though some patients may experience a mild sensation of numbness that quickly subsides after the needles are removed.

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, back and shoulder pain, sciatica, and many others. Research suggests it works in part by activating the nervous system and releasing the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals.

NOTE: Only disposable needles are used in this office — one needle, one location, one time only.

Cupping involves applying round glass cups to the skin to create suction. This gentle vacuum draws blood to the surface, improving circulation and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. Cupping is commonly used for muscle pain, tension, and some inflammatory conditions.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique in which mugwort, a soft herb, is burned to deliver gentle heat to specific areas of the body. The heat as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine is intended to stimulate the body’s natural healing healing, strengthen blood circulation, and support overall health.
