Acupuncture was codified in the seminal Han Dynasty classics, such as the Huang di Nei Jing Ling Shu. It involves the insertion of small filiform needles into various anatomical locations of the body to treat patterns of disease and disharmony and restore and regulate normal physiological function.

Deep Tissue Massage combines slow, controlled pressure — from light to deep — to release muscular tension and treat pain. Cupping, used for over a thousand years, treats pain and stagnation. Gua Sha uses a smooth tool to gently scrape the skin, releasing tension, boosting circulation, and draining lymphatic congestion.

Chinese Herbal formulations represent an extremely practical and sophisticated system of internal medicine with thousands of years of history. Taking herbal medicine is like receiving daily treatments, and is often critical to the success of treating certain conditions.
What We Treat
Chinese Medicine was the dominant form of healthcare in China until the early 20th century, used to treat everything from acute injuries to chronic disease — and to maintain good health before illness starts. The list below covers common conditions we treat, though it's far from exhaustive: Chinese Medicine treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
