Services We Provide

We achieve treatment and healing using gentle yet effective methods, to treat not only symptoms but to cure their underlying
conditions.  Our treatments apply to both people and pets.

Acupuncture

    Acupuncture, one of the main forms of therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, has been practiced for at least 2,500 years.

    In acupuncture, certain points on the body are stimulated by the insertion of fine needles (or using cold light therapy) for
    therapeutic purposes or to relieve pain or produce regional anesthesia.  

    Acupuncture points can also be stimulated using cold light therapy for those who would prefer not to use needles.

    Although acupuncture is used most commonly as a treatment for the relief of chronic or acute pain associated with
    musculo-skeletal disorders, it is also effective in the treatment of a wide variety of ailments, including arthritis, skin
    conditions, neuropathies, digestive disorders, urinary disorders, fatigue, infertility,  addictions, allergies, PMS, menopausal
    symptoms, sports injuries, cancer, and others.


Herbal Therapy

    Chinese herbal medicine works through the physiological action of the herbs, and pays special attention to the powers
    unleashed through combinations of herbs.

    An herb formula is built to suit the individual diagnoses of each client.

    A compound of three or four or more herbs may be designed to address your or your pet's particular needs.  Herbs are
    usually dispensed in granules or tablets.


Cold Laser Therapy

    Cold Laser or Light Therapy is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment that has been shown to relieve pain, reduce
    inflammation, and promote tissue repair.  Click here to see a video of a patient being treated.  Click here for more
    detailed information.


Natural Supplements

    We treat ailments using natural supplements to avoid the side affects of traditional medications.

    Certain vitamins and supplements have been found to relieve joint pain and boost the immune system's ability to fight
    chronic diseases and cancer.  These include fish oils, vitamin C, hyaluronic acids, cetyl myristoleate*, and others.

    *Advanced Cetyl M® Joint Action Formula relieves joint pain, lubricates joint structures and aids in the recovery and
    regeneration of joint tissues.


Qigong

    Qigong [chee góng] is a Chinese healing art using a series of gentle focused exercises.

    The chi, the vital life energy, is facilitated to flow smoothly throughout the meridian pathways of the body.

    By increasing stamina, flexibility, relaxation and overall quality of life, the healing process in turn, is encouraged and
    accelerated.
