Services
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing style of bodywork. The combination of essential oils with an array of strokes will help the body improve its circulation. A Swedish massage will provide relief from aches and pains, decrease stress levels, enhance mental clarity, and more. Deep Tissue Massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body.
What is Cupping? Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine dating as far back as 3000 B.C. Cupping works by expanding the capillaries and increasing the amount of fluid entering and leaving the body's tissues. How does Cupping Work? Uniquely designed for each patient, special cups are placed on your skin for a few minutes to create suction.
Hot stone massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. Each hot stone massage therapy session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, heated stones at key points on the body. Our professional massage therapists also incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones which offers enhanced benefits.
Acupuncture and Herbs accepts Workers Compensation insurance and Personal Injury insurance claims. If you have health insurance, acupuncture may be covered under your health plan. While many PPO health plans are required by law to cover acupuncture, some coverage is limited to specific conditions. We can verify your acupuncture coverage and benefits that are available to you.
Although, there are areas of the body more sensitive than others, due to the thinness of the needles you do not feel any pain when inserting the acupuncture needles, they are almost imperceptible. It varies depending on the pathology to be treated, the health state of the patient and other variables.

I had Dr. Lee today and it was my first and best acupuncture experience!
She made me very comfortable, talking me through the entire process. she was very great at listening to my concerns about infertility and stress. After the acupuncture session, the 15 min deep tissue massage begun and it was the best for my shoulder and neck tension.
Staff was friendly and the office space is the cleanest, making sure their space is social distancing compliant.
i will definitely be going back!

I can't say enough good things about this place. My mother had a sciatic nerve on her legs for months! Her ER doctor recommended her to go to an acupuncture. After two weeks of treatment, her pain disappeared. Very professional and the prices were decent and reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I had never tried acupuncture but had lower back pain that wouldn't go away. I wanted a solution that didn't require medicine and I am so happy I tried this! I've never been a fan of chiropractors and this seemed like a good alternative; now I'm honestly sold for life. I've never felt better and my back pain is gone. Give it a try, you won't regret it!!!

Update: 09/24/2020
I kept getting calls from a phone number not realizing it was this doctor, I finally had the time to answer today 09/24/2020. What I get from his call is him wanting to change my review just because he gave me two free massages. I explain professionally that it was nothing personal and i was reviewing the service I got from this place. He told me I'm a negative person and I do not see the good on life. He was been really pushy and unprofessional. He even hang up on me. Do not go to this place the doctor will call and harass you for a good review.

I was referred to Dr. Zen by both my midwife and chiropractor, in hopes of encouraging my breech baby to turn. I was a little nervous at first and not sure what to expect just because this was the first experience I have ever had with acupuncture. I have now had two appointments at Acupuncture & Herbs and have been really impressed with how professional and kind everyone is there. The office and rooms are very clean and comfortable and everyone I have interacted with so far has made me feel so at ease and they have just been really encouraging with the process!

I had been wanting to get acupuncture for fertility issues for a while now. As soon as Acupuncture &Herbs re-opened I called they got me in for a initial consultation and treatment. From the first place phone call through my visit, everything was handled great. The office is super clean and using distancing and hygiene protocols. I felt super comfortable. Scheduled my next few appts already.

This facility is super clean, modern and employs the best front desk and back office staff. The masseuses are some of the best I've ever encountered.
The doctors are wonderful and assess the problems you are having thoroughly and explain what they are going to do and why.
This was my first experience with acupuncture and I quickly became a regular patient. I know I feel much better after each treatment.
Highly recommend!

I went to Dr. Zen for back pain that caused me to barely be able to walk in the morning (I do lots of hot yoga). I really didn't think acupuncture would help but I went and the next day I was so surprised the pain was much better. I went several more times the following week and each time it was better the next day. The healing continued and now I'm thankfully pain free. I recommend Dr. Zen.
with his gentle approach you won't feel a thing if you have needle phobia which I do.
The massage therapist was concerned with her pressure technique so she'd always check on me to regulate

Such a pleasant and honest doctor. I initially went in for serious back spasms and pain. I had tried many other techniques but my symptoms persisted. I was skeptical but one of my close friends referred me and I thought I'd give it a try.
First of his bedside manner is just so refreshing. He listens carefully and gives you excellent service.
I've been going back to him for years now. He is a genius and his prices are fair and totally reasonable.
Most importantly he actually helped solve my back problems and I am grateful.

Pros: takes insurance, dr. Zen personality, great masseuse, great front desk staff, great downtown location
Cons: needles, busy after 5pm, closed Tuesday and weekends, turning into parking lot a bit tough
I don't know anyone who likes needles so I want enthusiastic about trying out accupuncture. But I'm totally converted don't think of them as needles. They are so thin it's like a piece of hair. I've been going for about 6 years now. I even got needed all over my face for a sinus infection. I know super scary but seriously if I can take it anyone can. When it comes
