Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses disposable, sterilized needles to stimulate specific reflex points and restore energy flow. This traditional Chinese practice helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve organ function by addressing energy imbalances. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during needle insertion, with sessions lasting about 20 minutes while remaining fully relaxed.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulas combine single herbs and complex mixtures to address specific health conditions. Available in loose herbs, tablets, capsules, and granules, these natural remedies treat chronic diseases and maintain wellness by restoring yin-yang balance. Our practitioners ensure safe usage through professional consultation to prevent herb-drug interactions.
TuiNa Massage
TuiNa combines acupressure and therapeutic massage techniques to improve circulation and relieve musculoskeletal pain. This hands-on therapy manipulates energy channels through specific hand movements, effectively treating conditions like neck pain, back pain, and sports injuries while promoting overall relaxation and wellness.
Electro Acupuncture
Electro Acupuncture enhances traditional acupuncture by adding low-voltage electrical stimulation to needles. This technique amplifies pain relief effects and improves muscle function, particularly effective for chronic pain conditions, neurological disorders, and post-injury rehabilitation through controlled electrical impulses.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates localized suction using glass cups to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. This ancient technique effectively treats respiratory conditions, muscle stiffness, and chronic pain by promoting circulation and reducing inflammation through negative pressure application.

Dr. Liu is an expert in acupuncture for fertility. I worked with her through several fertility treatment cycles, and saw drastic improvements in my cycles, egg quality, and stress levels. She gives you personal attention and care, and was genuinely interested in my fertility journey. I am immensely grateful to her for her help and guidance.

I received treatments from Dr. Jia for my anxiety. The treatment itself is very relaxing and meditative. He is very great at what he does and it truly calms you down during the treatment. Highly recommend if you are struggling with anxiety that you give acupuncture and herbal medicine a try, it could help more than you think!

Report
I was probably acupuncture's greatest doubter, but I'm now forever grateful for my experience and Dr. Jia. I was able to get pregnant shortly after starting with acupuncture/herbs after about a year of trying without acupuncture. I also went during pregnancy to help with some of the issues/pains that pregnancy brings. I now have a very healthy and happy 1-year old son. The office isn't fancy, but it's clean. Communication can sometimes be a challenge, but the staff are kind and patient, and it all works out.

Report
Dr.Liu was one of the names suggested by my health insurance. Skeptical at first, my last doctors visit was a disaster and I had very little hopes from acupuncture with my fertility. However, Dr. Liu heard me out and assured me that she would have me as her patient for at least three months and see where it goes. Seven weeks into healthy eating (by her advice) and weekly acupuncture (a 1.5 hours drive to Houston to visit her office), by Gods blessing and Dr.Lius extensive knowledge in gynaecology, helped me get pregnant after 4 years of trying. Dr. Liu knows her Chinese medicine too well
