Acupuncture
Specializing in Tan Balance Method and Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, our treatments address pain management, organ dysfunction, and systemic imbalances. Using precise point selection, we deliver immediate pain relief while addressing root causes through 30+ years of clinical expertise. Patients experience improved circulation and energy flow through evidence-based techniques.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations in tablet, pellet, and decoction forms complement our acupuncture treatments. We utilize traditional Chinese herbal medicine and Bach Flower Remedies to support emotional balance and physical healing. Our natural remedies target specific health concerns while minimizing side effects through careful ingredient selection.
Laser Acupuncture
Non-invasive laser stimulation offers an alternative to traditional needle acupuncture. This technique effectively treats pain conditions and energy imbalances using low-level laser therapy. Patients benefit from precise point activation without skin penetration, making it ideal for sensitive individuals seeking modern treatment options.
Bach Flower Remedies
We offer 38 flower essence remedies developed by Dr. Edward Bach to address emotional and psychological challenges. These natural solutions help manage stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma without habit-forming effects. Our practitioners guide patients in selecting appropriate floral combinations for personalized emotional wellness.
Korean Hand Therapy
This specialized technique uses hand points to treat systemic conditions and pain patterns throughout the body. By stimulating specific hand meridians, we achieve therapeutic effects for musculoskeletal issues and internal imbalances. The method provides portable self-treatment options patients can continue at home.
