Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture treatments using fine needles to stimulate energy flow and address chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Our board-certified practitioners employ both classical Chinese techniques and modern adaptations like electroacupuncture. Each session targets specific meridians to restore balance and promote natural healing processes through the body's Qi energy system.
Cupping Therapy
Ancient Chinese cupping technique using controlled suction to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Glass cups create gentle vacuum pressure on targeted areas, promoting blood flow and toxin release. This therapy effectively addresses chronic pain, inflammation, and musculoskeletal issues while providing deep relaxation through inverse massage effects.
Chinese Herbs
Customized herbal formulations based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles for internal healing. Our pharmacopeia includes time-tested remedies for digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and hormonal imbalances. Each prescription combines multiple herbs synergistically to address root causes while minimizing side effects through natural, holistic approaches.
Gua Sha
Traditional East Asian healing technique using specialized tools to stimulate microcirculation and release muscle tension. By applying pressured strokes to lubricated skin, this therapy breaks up fascial restrictions and promotes lymphatic drainage. Patients experience immediate relief from pain, stiffness, and inflammation through induced therapeutic petechiae formation.
Infrared Sauna
Detoxification and relaxation sessions using infrared technology to penetrate deep tissue layers. This therapy promotes sweating at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, enhancing circulation and metabolic function. Patients benefit from improved cardiovascular health, pain relief, and cellular rejuvenation through controlled thermal exposure.

Dr Angel is awesome. She took on my back and neuroma and even my concentration. She is polite and knows what to do. I am going back and I hype her skillset to all my friends and others who are interested in acupuncture.
