Tools of the Trade
 Acupuncture uses hair-thin solid needles to stimulate specific anatomical points on the body. Needling acts to restore the smooth flow of Qi (Pronounced Chee) in the Meridians. Acupuncture is usually pain free. Occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes.
Herbal supplements are based on natural, botanical, animal and mineral substance combined into hundreds of specific formulas, or prescriptions. While most prescriptions are made from about 400 major herbs, our clinic contains over 700 varieties.
Herbal remedies are targeted to the specific needs of each patient and can be delivered in the form of teas, powders and tablets/pills. While herbs are a potent therapy, they exhibit few of side effects commonly found in Western pharmaceutical drugs.  Heat is a common remedy in most societies where it is applied to improve blood circulation. Heat might be prescribed in a variety of ways, the most common being Moxibustion. “Moxa” is made from the dried mugwort herb. Rolled and lit (“busting”), it can be applied either to the handle of the needle or rotated gently over the skin to apply heat. Infrared Heat/Light Therapy works by emitting energy in the infrared spectrum to provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasm, relieves stiffness, relaxes muscle tissue and temporarily increases local blood circulation. Infrared light acts on hemoglobin in blood to cause the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes the dilation of blood vessels to increase circulation and the delivery of oxygen to tissue. This effect is enhanced by warmth generated by the unit. This increased circulation and oxygen can help heal damaged tissue. Nitric oxide also acts on nerves to decrease or eliminate pain. Additionally, infrared therapy has also be shown in medical studies to reverse peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage causing pain or numbness) which can occur in diabetics.
 Tuina is form of Oriental Massage therapy designed to treat disease and injuries and relieve pain by removing tension and stimulating blood circulation.
 Cupping, or fire cupping as it is sometimes called, involves special glass cups called inspirators. The air is heated inside these cups which creates a vacuum and then they are quickly applied to the skin. The suction not only holds the cup in place, but it brings increased blood flow to the area in a form of treatment called congestion
In addition, other therapies like nutritional counseling and electroacupuncture are used to provide a personalized and balanced treatment.
