Our traditional Chinese acupuncture focuses on restoring balance to your body's energy flow (Qi) through the strategic placement of fine needles at specific points along meridian lines. Particularly effective for treating:
Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, with a thorough consultation before your first treatment to understand your health history and specific concerns.
Electroacupuncture enhances traditional acupuncture by adding gentle electrical stimulation to the inserted needles, amplifying therapeutic effects. This modern approach is especially beneficial for:
Our practitioners carefully control the frequency and intensity of the electrical current to match your comfort level and treatment needs.
Auricular acupuncture focuses specifically on the ear, which contains points that correspond to all parts of the body. This specialized technique is particularly effective for:

Our experienced practitioners commonly treat musculoskeletal pain such as back pain, neck and shoulder tension, sciatica, and joint discomfort, helping to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Acupuncture is also highly effective for managing stress, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue by supporting nervous system balance. We regularly help patients with migraines, digestive issues like bloating and IBS, and women’s health concerns including irregular cycles, fertility support, and menopausal symptoms. Treatments may also benefit those with sinus problems, hay fever, and skin conditions such as acne and eczema. Each session is tailored to address your specific needs, combining traditional techniques with clinical insight to restore balance, ease symptoms, and support long-term wellbeing.
Acupuncture is highly effective for managing chronic pain conditions including back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia through its ability to modulate pain signals.
Regular acupuncture treatments can reduce the frequency and intensity of both tension headaches and migraines, often providing relief when conventional treatments have been unsuccessful.
Our acupuncture specialists can help manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and even mild to moderate depression by regulating neurotransmitters and promoting relaxation.
Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, and chronic indigestion often respond well to acupuncture treatments that help regulate digestive function and reduce symptoms.

Allergies, sinusitis, asthma, and recurrent respiratory infections can benefit from acupuncture's immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects, leading to improved respiratory function.
Combining traditional wisdom with modern evidence-based practice
Our approach to acupuncture begins with a comprehensive assessment of your overall health, not just your symptoms. We consider physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your condition.
Based on your assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan targeting specific acupuncture points relevant to your condition. This personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective care for your unique needs.
We believe in combining the best of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical understanding. Our practitioners work alongside other healthcare specialists when appropriate to provide truly comprehensive care.
Rather than simply addressing symptoms, our acupuncture approach aims to restore balance within the body's systems to promote lasting health and prevent recurrence of conditions.
