Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific meridian points to regulate energy flow and stimulate natural healing. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and systemic imbalances. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular sessions tailored to their unique health profiles.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, enhancing circulation and energy flow. This therapy particularly benefits cold-related conditions, digestive disorders, and immune system support. Combined with acupuncture, it amplifies treatment effects while providing deep relaxation and targeted pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu uses thumb pressure along meridians to release tension and restore energy balance. This hands-on therapy alleviates stress, improves sleep quality, and addresses postural imbalances. Regular sessions enhance flexibility, reduce chronic pain, and promote emotional well-being through its holistic approach to body mechanics.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations address underlying imbalances while supporting organ system function. These natural remedies complement acupuncture treatments for digestive disorders, hormonal regulation, and chronic condition management. Patients receive personalized prescriptions based on constitutional analysis and presenting symptoms for comprehensive health restoration.
Children's Acupuncture
Shonishin employs gentle tools and techniques for infants and children up to 12 years old. This specialized care addresses colic, sleep disturbances, and developmental challenges without needles. Treatments focus on strengthening digestion, improving immunity, and supporting healthy growth patterns through non-invasive meridian stimulation.

Report
Avery is very professional and knowledgeable. I went to see him during my pregnancy and after a few moxibustion treatments my nurse managed to invert my breech baby without any special intervention. His treatments are very relaxing and so beneficial. Will definitely go back to him.
