Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin stainless-steel, sterile, disposable needles into the body at points that have been shown to benefit certain health conditions.  These points generally fall along established channels through which Qi flows in the body.  By inserting needles into these points, your acupuncturist can help direct the flow of Qi to bring the body into balance.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which mugwort, a small spongy herb, is burned near or on the skin to bring heat into the body, strengthen the flow of Qi, and enhance your overall vitality and health. Moxibustion has been used in Asia for thousands of years.   

Eastern Dietary Therapy
The Chinese believe food and medicine share the same source, and often use food to heal imbalances. With Eastern Dietary Therapy, your acupuncturist considers your constitution and the source of your health problems, and then gives recommendations of alternative foods that will bring your body more into balance.  

Cupping
For cupping, your acupuncturist will create a suction in small specialized “cups,” which are then placed on specific points or areas of your body. The suction draws your skin up into the cups to bring fresh blood and Qi to that part of your body. This relieves aches and pains, improves circulation and aids respiratory and digestive issues. 

Qi Gong
Qi Gong involves gentle, mindful movements that are repeated a number of times to stretch your body, increase fluid movement and blood flow, build Qi and aid your awareness of how your body moves through space. 

Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is similar to a TENS unit or electrical stimulation except that it causes a greater movement of Qi in the body. After the acupuncture needles are inserted, your acupuncturist attaches tiny leads to selected needles. The leads are attached to an electrical stimulation device that sends a small electrical current through the selected needles.  This produces a mildly pleasant sensation of tingling in the area.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is used to treat areas of painful stagnation or blockage in your body.  Such areas have “Sha,” which emerge as small reddish dots on the skin’s surface from its superficial or deeper levels during Gua Sha treatment. Sha can be diagnosed by pressing on the skin.  If the whitening or blanching impressions left on the skin remain for a longer than usual time (for your body) or fade away slowly, Sha is present.  For Gua Sha, your acupuncturist first moistens an area of skin with a thick lubricant and then uses a smooth round-edged object, such as a spoon, to apply short, brisk strokes to the area. This creates red patches of skin with small reddish dots—Sha.  This not a painful treatment, and Sha typically fades in a few days.
