Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific body points to balance energy flow and stimulate healing. This therapy addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Patients often experience relaxation and improved well-being post-treatment.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses suction to increase blood flow and relieve muscle tension. It benefits those with chronic pain, inflammation, or respiratory issues. The therapy promotes circulation and detoxification through localized pressure release.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a smooth tool to reduce inflammation and muscle stiffness. It improves circulation and alleviates conditions like migraines and joint pain. Patients often notice immediate relief and enhanced mobility.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, enhancing energy flow and treating cold-related ailments. It supports digestive health, menstrual regularity, and immune function through targeted warmth.
Herbal Supplements
Custom herbal formulations complement TCM treatments, addressing imbalances like hormonal issues or digestive disorders. These natural remedies enhance treatment efficacy and promote long-term wellness through internal regulation.

Report
I was skeptical at first and not necessarily fond of needles so when I went in for my first acupuncture treatment I didn't know what to expect. The staff was wonderful & professional, the environment relaxing and the outcome amazing. I would highly recommend the Flying Needle clinic to anyone!

Report
I had been battling some problems following a serious calf injury. I had seen a couple of doctors and another acupuncturist, but nothing worked well. Then a family member suggested I see Mary. The results of the acupuncture and Chinese herbs were immediate and lasting. And, as a bonus, at one of my appointments, my chronic on and off back pain had flared up. She treated that as well that day with acupuncture and cupping and, again, the results were immediate.
