Acupuncture and Herbs

Acupuncture is a form of health care that has evolved over millennia as a complete and holistic medical system. This therapy involves fine, sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body. The needles stimulate the body’s Qi (energy) to promote natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

Our licensed practitioners are board-certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. For more information about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), click on the following links

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Whether it’s due to sun damage, stress, diet or lifestyle, visible signs of aging are something none of us want. Your skin is your largest organ, and is a reflection of your internal state of health. According to Chinese Medicine, your physical health and emotions are reflected on your skin, particularly on your face. In order to look your best you need to feel your best!

Cosmetic Acupuncture brings the increased flow of blood and Qi to the face enhancing the production of collagen and elastin. Points are selected on the face as well as the body to balance and rejuvenate the skin, as well as the mind and the body.

Typically 10-12 sessions are required to see sufficient results. Most people report a noticeable change within the first 2 weeks of treatment. Typical results include, but are not limited to:

  • Improvement in the fine lines of the face and diminished appearance of deeper wrinkles
  • Moisturized, softer skin and more even skin tone due to increased blood and lymph circulation in the face.
  • Improved muscle tone and firmer jaw line, as well as reduction in jowls.
  • Reduction in puffiness due to improved metabolism
  • Reduction or elimination of rosacea and acne.
  • Reduction of Hot Flashes, Anxiety, Insomnia and Digestive Symptoms

The patient will usually have 1-2 initial balancing treatments prior to beginning the Cosmetic Series. Each Cosmetic treatment includes a relaxing mask and oils to help rejuvenate the skin.

Swedish Massage

A foundational and time-honored style of massage, Swedish is a relaxing and rejuvenating modality aimed at reducing stress, enhancing cardiovascular and lymphatic circulation.

Shiatsu

Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shiatsu focuses on acupuncture points and their associated energy meridians. This balancing modality is not only effective for muscle aches and pains but is indicated for internal ailments such as headaches, digestive problems and sleep issues, to name a few. Practitioners use kneading, finger pressure and stretching to achieve a calming and invigorating effect.

Please bring loose fitting clothing such as sweatpants and a t-shirt to change into for your session.

Sports and Rehabilitative Massage

Anatomically precise, deep tissue work has been proven to create change at a cellular level in soft tissue that has sustained injury. Techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release are employed to help the body heal and achieve balance.

Hot Stone Massage

This deeply soothing and relaxing specialty massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles and increases blood flow, further accelerating the healing process.
