Conditions We Treat
Chronic pain - back, shoulders, joints

It is a recognized non-pharmacological option for chronic pain, endorsed by the American College of Physicians and Centers for Disease Control, especially in those looking to reduce opioid use.
Digestive issues - IBS, bloating, acid reflux
Acupuncture improves symptoms and quality of life in those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel irregularity.
Acupuncture also reduces reflux episodes, and heartburn and is used as a supportive therapy for improving gastric motility. Herbal medicinations reduce gut inflammation and are widely studied for gastrointestinal issues but must be administered under careful professional guidance.
Women’s health & fertility support
Acupuncture is often used with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), like in-vitro fertilization IVF, and to boost natural fertility. Studies suggest acupuncture may improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries and support hormonal balance and ovulatory function; thereby supporting fertility treatments.
During pregnancy, acupuncture and acupressure can reduce morning sickness and provide support during labor induction and pain. Reduction in menstrual pain and improvement of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disturbances is reported with acupuncture. These treatments can be integrated safely with routine gynecologic, obstetric, and reproductive care.
Stress, anxiety, insomnia
Acupuncture is a safe non-pharmacological therapy for reducing stress with effects comparable and additive to mindfulness or relaxation therapy. It is recommended as complementary therapy for anxiety, especially for those who prefer non-drug options with many studies showing comparable effects to conventional therapies.
Acupuncture improves sleep onset, duration, and quality in those suffering from insomnia and can reduce reliance on sleep medications.
Respiratory conditions & allergies
Herbal formulas and acupuncture are commonly used to reduce airway inflammation and relieve symptoms of allergies like wheezing, nasal congestion, runny nose.
Herbal medicines and acupuncture can regulate immune response, improve lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in those with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD and should be considered in conjunction with other asthma and COPD therapies.
Cardiovascular health
Your heart and blood vessels play a vital role in keeping your body healthy and energized. TCM offers natural, holistic approaches to support cardiovascular health, working alongside modern medical care. The heart is seen as the “Emperor” organ in TCM, it governs blood circulation and houses the Shen (mind/spirit). Healthy circulation depends on the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and blood.
Acupuncture and herbal medicines are prescribed for general heart wellness and prevention. It may be used as part of treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), circulatory issues like cold hands/feet, poor circulation and in recovery after heart-related procedures (in collaboration with your doctor). TCM is not a replacement for emergency or primary cardiovascular care. Always follow your cardiologist’s or primary doctor’s recommendations.
