Acupuncture
Many insurers offer coverage for acupuncture. We
are not directly billing insurance at this time, but we
can provide you a receipt that you can use to submit
for reimbursement.
Private Acupuncture
Individuals receive care in a private room with
soothing music, lighting and comfort items like
blankets, pillows and bolsters. The privacy and
length of appointment allow you to work more
closely on issues and apply treatment methods
anywhere on the body. Treatment may include
cupping, gua sha or electrical stimulation, as
appropriate and agreed upon, in addition to
acupuncture needles. Once you’ve had private
acupuncture, you can consider combining private
treatments with community treatments to fit your
schedule or for a more cost-effective treatment
plan.
Community Acupuncture
Individuals receive care in a group treatment room
with soothing music and lighting while fully clothed
and seated in a comfortable recliner chair. Screens
between recliners allow for safe distancing and a
sense of some privacy. Treating the full body can
be accomplished by accessing the lower legs,
arms, head and neck. Please wear clothing that
allows for easy access to these areas. Treatments
are staggered with that of the others in the room.
Some claim that treatment effects are enhanced
because of the group setting. You are welcome to
bring items that help you relax such as a blanket,
pillow, headphones, eye pillow, etc. Please arrive
5–10 minutes before your appointment to allow
the practitioner to stay on schedule.
Auricular Acupuncture for Weight Loss and Addiction (N.A.D.A.)
Are you trying to lose weight, quit smoking or
curb another type of addiction? Auricular (ear)
acupuncture can be an effective solution. It can aid
in the treatment of a variety of health conditions
while also reducing stress and increasing one’s
overall well-being. Treatment consists of 10
sessions spaced over approximately 2 weeks.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Acupuncture facial rejuvenation involves inserting
needles into the face and body to help stimulate
blood flow, increase the production of collagen
and elastin, and shed dead skin cells. It can help
reduce fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, sagging
jawlines, acne, rosacea and puffiness around the
eyes. Treatments also incorporate gua sha and
facial cupping to further aid in these results. Call
for information about contraindications and side
effects.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
These private appointments are the initial step to
using Chinese herbal medicine to manage chronic
conditions. After your intake appointment, any
herbal prescriptions will be filled at an external
herbal pharmacy for an additional cost. A follow-
up appointment with your practitioner after 1
month will be necessary to evaluate effectiveness.
Frequency of follow-up appointments will be
assessed on an individual basis.
Body and Energy Work
Massage Therapy
Massage is a form of bodywork that can help you
maintain and achieve overall health and wellness,
recover from injuries and promote healing. The
licensed massage therapist will individualize
the massage to meet your needs. Specialized
treatments include pregnancy, cancer and
mastectomy massage (physician referral required
for specialty massages).
Lymph Massage
Using very light circular motions, a specially trained
licensed massage therapist stimulates the lymph
system to help it work more efficiently to drain fluid
and reduce swelling. This massage is beneficial for
people with cancer (physician referral required),
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, and
those recovering from a sports injury or surgery
(particularly plastic surgery), when lymph vessels
become overwhelmed with the demand placed
on them.Please note: this is not manual lymph
drainage.
Integrative Reflexology
Integrative Reflexology® involves massage of the
feet, hands or ears at specific points to promote
relaxation and well-being.
Reiki
Reiki is a non-invasive, powerful process,
administered by a certified Reiki Master, that
involves the practice of moving energy to increase
the body’s natural ability to heal. Reiki can be
administered while you are fully clothed or as part
of a massage. It involves the practitioner using
gentle touch or placing hands just above your
body to help guide energy in a way that promotes
healing.
