Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one treatment technique within the scope of practice of a Licensed Acupuncturist. It involves the placement of very delicate, hair-thin needles in strategically selected areas. Acupuncture works on the internal energetic dynamics of the body, activating the body’s own innate healing response. The placement of needles communicates to the body to guide resources in a particular direction, boosting what is deficient, or removing what is excess. Restoring balance to the internal dynamics is essential to experiencing better health.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion, also simply called, moxa, is the process of burning dried mugwort (a common plant used in both Western & Eastern medicine traditions) on, or near, the skin at specific acupoints. Moxa imparts warmth and stimulates circulation, making it particularly useful for pain relief; skin issues; certain digestive, genitourinary, or reproductive complaints; and boosting immunity. In our clinic, you’re likely to experience Japanese moxibustion, known as Okyu or “thread” moxa.

herbs and nutrition

Herbal medicine and nutritional therapy are within our scopes of practice, and often a cornerstone of an effective treatment plan. We stock a select few herbal formulas and supplements at the clinic, and customize others through an online dispensary. You should also feel encouraged to discuss dietary concerns with your practitioner. Understanding food through a holistic lens (not just its biochemical breakdown) is empowering, and relieves a lot of stress around striving to eat well.
