Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) encompasses techniques that work in conjunction with acupuncture to support your treatment, encourage circulation, release tension and help restore balance in the body.  These therapies are tailored to your needs and may be incorporated into your treatment plan as-needed.

Modalities May Include:

• Cupping Therapy - uses glass cups with heat or suction to gently relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow.  It warms the meridians and encourages qi and blood to flow more freely and releases toxins and stagnation.
• Gua Sha - a scraping technique that uses gentle pressure and friction to release tension, stagnation and toxins from the skin, encourages blood and qi to flow freely and lymphatic drainage support.
• Moxibustion - used to warm points and meridians by warming mugwort and heat therapy.
• E-Stimulation - using electrostimulation connected to needles, we can more deeply stimulate specific points.

While these modalities are used on an as-needed basis in conjuction with your treatment at no additional cost, we currently offer Cupping-Only treatments.
