Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely-known methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This healing technique aims to stimulate the body’s immune system and strengthen its ability to heal itself. Acupuncture typically involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at precise locations (or “points”) which correspond to specific ailments or imbalances within the body.
Using TCM diagnostic tools and theory, our acupuncturists assess the body’s condition and the underlying cause of imbalance. This way, we can focus on treating the root (cause) in order to treat the branch (symptoms). This approach provides you with the best chance of a full recovery.

Moxibustion involves burning an herb called Mugwort and applying the resulting heat to specific acupuncture points on the body. Moxibustion is used to gently stimulate acupuncture points or areas of the body in order to quicken the healing process.
Cupping is a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction is designed to stimulate the flow of blood within the superficial muscle layers, promoting cell repair. It is commonly used to help relieve muscle tension and soreness as well as the common cold.
