China Rose Acupuncture

I sought acupuncture treatment for knee problems related to a sports injury. I had had meniscus repair by traditional western medicine, but continued to have pain. The orthopedic surgeon said, because of arthritis, the only alternative was knee replacement. With six weeks of acupuncture treatment, my pain has significantly decreased and I am able to return to my yoga practice.

Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, and other treatment modalities we use, are effective, safe, natural, drug free approaches to your health concerns. Gua Sha : a stimulating rubbing of the skin with a rounded horn or jade tool This is not painful, but does leave red marks (called sha) or bruises on the skin.

Chinese herbal medicine is much more extensive than we are used to in the west. It uses more than 1000 herbs, minerals, insects, and animal parts (such as bones, shells, antlers) which are commonly combined in formulas of 3 to 20 herbs. Seldom is a single herb used alone. In tonic formulas, the combination of herbs works together to balance and restore specific aspects of the body, such as nourishing blood, calming the spirit, or boosting qi.
