Acupuncture

Acupuncture restores energy flow through meridians using hair-thin needles. This 3,000-year-old technique addresses pain, hormonal imbalances, and emotional health by stimulating specific points. Our practice combines traditional Chinese methods with Western medical insights for conditions ranging from chronic pain to fertility support. Treatments target both symptoms and root causes while working alongside conventional therapies.

MicroNeedling Therapy

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production. Using the AcuLift MicroPen, this treatment addresses fine lines, acne scars, and skin texture issues. Combined with acupuncture and hyaluronic acid, it enhances facial rejuvenation results. Sessions include numbing cream application and post-treatment skincare regimens for optimal outcomes.

Herbal Treatments

Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using traditional Chinese medicine principles. Over 4,500 herbs are available to address specific health concerns while considering individual patient needs. These natural remedies support detoxification, immune function, and internal balance when used alongside conventional medical treatments.

Nutritional Counseling

Personalized nutrition programs address weight management and metabolic health through traditional Chinese dietary principles. The approach considers spleen/stomach function dynamics while integrating modern nutritional science. Custom plans help restore energy balance and support overall wellness goals.

Celluma Light Therapy

FDA-cleared LED devices deliver specific light wavelengths for skin health and pain management. Red and blue light combinations treat acne while yellow wavelengths address inflammation. This non-invasive therapy enhances circulation and complements acupuncture treatments for musculoskeletal conditions and facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Lucy Postolov is a very knowledgeable doctor and takes great care of her patients . I had severe arm pain and after a few sessions with her , my pain was completely gone . I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is one of the best in her field.

I cannot recommend Dr. Postolov enough! I first went to her nearly 12 years ago, hoping to avoid going back on steroids for an inflammatory lung disease. Her treatments worked! Since then, I've seen her for everything from the beginnings of a cold to neck pain. She is my go to for support in keeping my immunity strong and my body pain free. Her office is lovely and peaceful, and Ron, who manages it, is always kind and professional. I love and trust Dr. Postolov.

Dr. Postolov has been instrumental in helping me with the effects of chemotherapy. The neuropathy pains were subdued and have now almost completely disappeared. I am so fortunate to have her help and guidance. I am 100% sure that she has been the key to me regaining my strength, health and energy so quickly. I can not thank her enough. And Ron is so welcoming and kind. He makes me feel like Im visiting a friend!

If there were 10 Stars I would give them to this office. Dr Lucy was extremely supportive and helpful during a very arduous and painful health challenge I faced. Ron at the front desk is forever warm and welcoming and made every visit something to look forward too. Cant wait to see them both again.
