Please inquire about your specific conditions if they are not listed here. The Western diagnosis or the name of the condition or disease you have is not so important in acupuncture and Oriental medicine because we treat the whole person, not just the symtoms.


THE TREATMENT

Only disposable needles (sterilized, one-time use) are used for treatment.

Acupuncture is effective for most functional and internal conditions without using drugs. It is safe and all natural. All acupuncture needles are single-use disposable needles. They are very fine like hairs and almost painless. The patient's skin and the practitioner's hands are disinfected before the procedure and there is absolutely no chance of infection. The number of needles used during the session is usually less than 10. For some complicated conditions, additional needles may be necessary. Some heat or electric stimulation and/or light manipulation and acupressure may be added for certain contitions.

Constitutional and 5-element acupuncture techniques are generally used. They are highly effective with a minimal number of needles. For weight control, ear patches are used. The patches contain either tiny needles or herb seed and you keep them for about a week or two and stimulate.

If you have structural problems such as tumor, fracture or dislocation, you need surgical or orthopedic treatment. In this case acupuncture can be used to speed up healing after surgery by promoting blood flow in the area and thus to strengthen the system. Also acupuncture is used to reduce side effect of chemotherapy and radiation and to boost immunity.

The Western medical diagnosis is not so important to us because we have different approaches. We just don't treat symptoms, but treat the root causes to help heal the body. Even though you doctor says that your condition is very difficult and complicated, sometimes it could be simple and easy to treat your condition with acupuncture and Oriental medicine. You may avoid taking dangerous drugs and unnecessary surgeries. Please feel free to ask us about your specific conditions. We provide free consultation by email

In general, the effect of acupuncture treatment is immediate. You can have instant relief. But you may need to come back for follow-up. The necessary number of treatment sessions depends upon individual conditions. In general acute conditions require a few sessions. Chronic conditions require several or more sessions and maintenance treatment may be recommended. Stop smoking treatment requires usually 1-2 session(s).

Bulging or herniated disks can be treated effectively with acupuncture, manipulation and traction technique. Usually you may not need a surgery. It is same as in the case of rotator cuff injury.

High blood pressure can be effectively treated and controlled with acupuncture and oriental herbal medicine at the early stage. High cholesterol can be effectively
brought down to normal range with herbs fast. Diabetes can be controlled and maintained with herbs.

Infertility treatment requires several sessions with herbal supplements. Acupuncture is highly effective for especially unexplained of infertility. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can increase sperm count and strengthen motility for men. There are over 50% chance of conception in about a month and half after treatment started depending on the cycles unless there are other complications.



Each acupuncture session takes average 20-30 minutes. If necessary, we may combine moxibustion, cupping, manipulation and herbal therapy.

Our fee is very affordable and competitive. Some insurance plans may cover acupuncture treatment. No contract, no commitment for the treatment plans are required.

We were trained in highly effective constitutional acupuncture techniques. Were you disappointed with acupuncture treatment by other acupuncturists in the area or else? Please try our treatment. Patient satisfaction and result are our number 1 goal. We can help you!

WHAT IS A TREATMENT LIKE?

Extremely fine, hair-thin, flexible needles are placed at specific points on the energetic pathways, known as meridians. When the needles are inserted you may experience a sensation of tingling or warmth. People are surprised to find that treatments are actually quite relaxing. The length and frequency of a treatment may vary for each individual and will be determined by your Acupunturist. Acupuncture treatments are scheduled according to the nature of your condition. As you improve, fewer visits are required. Discuss your treatment plan with your acupuncturist, since each individual is different.

"Oriental Medicine functions to promote the body"s ability to heal itself"

ORIENTAL HERBOLOGY

Ancient Chinese herbal formulas are as effective now as they were when first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. Most formulas consist of two to eighteen different types of herbs. Formulas treat a wide variety of symptoms while stimulating the body's natural healing precess. Hospital studies prescribing individualized complex herbal formulas have demonstrated excellent results with patients who fail to respond to conventional pharmaceutical treatment.
