Services
Japanese Acupuncture
Our Japanese-style acupuncture uses gentle techniques rooted in classical Chinese medicine texts. Practitioners employ non-invasive tools and minimal needle insertion to treat various conditions while respecting patient sensitivity. The approach focuses on restoring energy flow through meridian pathways.
Koshi Balancing
This integrated system combines acupuncture with osteopathic visceral manipulation to address musculoskeletal imbalances. Through precise needle placement and manual techniques, we correct postural distortions and improve organ function, promoting whole-body wellness through interconnected systems.
Sotai Movement Therapy
Sotai integrates gentle movement with acupuncture to enhance treatment effectiveness. Patients perform guided motions while receiving treatment, helping practitioners identify and resolve structural restrictions. This method improves joint mobility and recalibrates the body's natural movement patterns through coordinated therapy.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
This gentle manual therapy addresses the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Through subtle cranial adjustments combined with acupuncture, we alleviate headaches, TMJ disorders, and nervous system imbalances by restoring natural cranial rhythms.
Visceral Manipulation
Using osteopathic visceral techniques with acupuncture, we address restrictions in organ mobility that contribute to pain and dysfunction. This approach reconnects organ systems with musculoskeletal structures, improving both mechanical and energetic relationships within the body through targeted manual interventions.
