Acupuncture + Herbal Medicine
Voted Best Acupuncturist in the Triangle
Ancient remedies in a modern era.
With our world’s constant push for medical progress and technological advancement, the millennia-old technique of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) persists for one reason: it works.
Why does it work?
As practitioners of Whole Systems-TCM, our specialists take the time with each individual to identify and treat the underlying causes of chronic and acute ailments–not only the symptoms. By addressing the body as a complex whole, rather than narrowly focusing on a single problematic aspect, we are able to discern the connections between conditions and health issues and thereby resolve them more effectively for the long term.
What do treatments include?
Our Center integrates WS-TCM (acupuncture and herbal medicine) along with nutrition and lifestyle counseling, blood cell analysis, massage therapy, and other modalities, treating each person with the combination of therapies that their unique condition necessitates.
What about Western Medicine?
Our specialists often work in tandem with Western Medicine practitioners as needed, ensuring that all treatment modalities work together in unison, giving you effective results.
We also integrate functional medicine such as stool, blood and saliva analysis, putting these tools of modern medicine to use in providing a clearer picture of underlying health issues.
With decades of experience, using highly effective treatment modalities, we can help you with:
Women’s Health and Fertility
By helping to balance hormones in the body and addressing sources of inflammation, treatments can help alleviate women's health issues such as menstrual irregularities, PCOS, and assist those trying to conceive.
Autoimmune Disease and Allergies
We utilize acupuncture, specifically the SAAT method, to effectively treat many types of allergies. We also specialize in treating Alpha-gal, a tick-borne disease.
Pain Reduction and Management
By addressing the root cause of pain–whether it be structural imbalance, chronic inflammation, or stress–we are able to address and alleviate the cause, resulting in long-tern pain reduction.
Stress Reduction and Sleep
By helping to regulate the body's nervous system response, acupuncture calms both mind and body. Treatments can also improve your quality of sleep in a safe and effective manner: a crucial part of overall health and well being.
Skin Health
Support your skin through all stages of life, whether it is acne or wrinkles, acupuncture can provide natural solutions. We also offer facials and other skin care treatments by our esthetician, Hannah Mager.
Digestive Issues
Treating gastrointestinal issues by integrating functional medicine: blood cell analysis, stool analysis, and food allergy testing. Treating the gut can help to heal myriad issues in the body.
