It is recommended that you wear or bring loose fitting clothing, shorts and/or camisoles, as these make evaluation, stretching, and treatment easier. Sheets are always available for draping available as well.

The best way to prepare is to eat a snack or a light meal before treatment so the you body has sufficient energy to work with. If possible it is best to wear loose clothing so that your arms and legs are accessible for treatment. After treatment we recommend you drink a glass of water to help stabilize your energy.

Each situation is unique. Generally speaking, acute conditions often resolve within 4-6 treatments while chronic pain and complicated illness may take up to 10-12 treatments. We will work with your budget and schedule to design the best treatment plan that is cost effective and result driven.

This also depends on the condition. Acute conditions respond well to 2-3 treatments per week for a short period of time. More intense situations and chronic conditions often warrant weekly treatments for a period of time. After their chief complaint is resolved many patients opt to come once or twice a month for wellness and prevention.

Sixteenth century Chinese doctors believed that illness was due to an imbalance of energy in the body. Acupuncture is the insertion of disposable, stainless steel needles are used to stimulate the body's major meridians, the bodies energetic streams, to resist or overcome illnesses by correcting energetic imbalances.

Needles are placed at specific acupuncture points on the body. Depending on the specific condition the needles commonly are placed at or below the elbows, and at or below the knees. Other common areas are on the back, abdomen and ears.

In the hands of a licensed practitioner acupuncture is a very safe, pain-free, effective, treatment for many acute and chronic conditions that has been used for thousands of years.

For most people acupuncture is a painless process. There can be some mild ache associated with acupuncture, but most people find the experience deeply relaxing and restorative.

Moxibustion is a technique used to warm the meridians and expel the cold, to tonify the yangqi and move the Qi and blood to prevent diseases and maintain health. Moxibustion works by applying heat to the acupuncture points and other locations of the human body. The material used is primarily an herb called moxa (mugwort) in the form of a cone or stick.

Cupping is a healing modality in which a jar is attached to the skin surface in order to create a vacuum and pull out stagnation. The cupping method warms and promotes the free flow of Qi and blood in the meridians, dispelling cold dampness, reducing swelling and alleviating pain. It is mainly used to treat pain in the back, shoulders, legs, or gastrointestinal disorders such as stomachaches, vomiting, diarrhea, or lung disorders such as cough and asthma.

Gua sha is the ancient Chinese technique of scraping the skin to disperse stagnant blood. Gua sha is often used to relieve musculoskeletal pain and release tension in areas by improving circulation where there is restricted movement, reduces inflammation, support the immune system and address upper respiratory illnesses. Mild bruising, called petechia may appear as a result of the blood flowing to the surface of the skin.
