Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow through meridians, treating pain and chronic conditions. This 5,000-year-old practice addresses neurological issues, allergies, and internal disorders by restoring Qi balance. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune function through personalized treatment plans.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations target specific health imbalances using natural ingredients like roots and flowers. These synergistic blends address chronic diseases, emotional disorders, and treatment side effects while minimizing adverse reactions. Combined with acupuncture, they accelerate healing for conditions ranging from asthma to autoimmune disorders.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release muscle toxins and improve Qi flow through meridians. This deep-tissue therapy alleviates pain from arthritis, back issues, and respiratory conditions by enhancing blood circulation. Temporary skin markings indicate toxin release rather than bruising, with visible improvements after sessions.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to stimulate energy flow and resolve chronic stagnation. This technique benefits cold-related pain, digestive issues, and gynecological conditions by warming meridians and strengthening immunity. Combined with acupuncture, it enhances treatment effectiveness for long-term health improvements.
Tui Na
Tui Na combines acupressure and body manipulation to restore Qi balance and treat musculoskeletal pain. This therapeutic technique improves energy flow, reduces stress, and enhances vitality through targeted pressure on meridians and muscle groups for holistic wellness.

I first visited Lixin Acupuncture Clinic in September, 2020, for severe leg pain. I initially thought it was the sciatic nerve but it was muscular. Adam has treated me for that and other issues that surfaced during the initial treatments. He is very knowledgeable on Traditional Chinese Medicine and provided great treatments, including acupuncture, cupping, and Tui-Na Massage, along with herbal therapies. Using tongue and pulse diagnosis, Adam identified other underlying issues affecting my pain and my overall wellness. We modified the treatment plan and I have seen improvement in my liver function

I began seeing Lixin in late February of 2019 for four issues: high cholesterol; chronic cough; ocular pressure and micro colitis. With a combination of needling and herbals, I lost 20 lbs. and my cholesterol numbers improved sufficiently so that I felt confident no longer taking the statin which had been prescribed to me two year prior. The chronic cough was virtually eradicated. After a few months more the ophthalmologist found that several dark spots on the right optic nerve had shrunk in size. Symptoms of the micro colitis have disappeared, although a colonoscopy will only tell how that has

Edie was extremely professional and fun to talk to. I floated out of the office after receiving a Chi massage focusing on stress centers. Definitely will be returning and putting the word out. Thank you

So fortunate I found Dr. Li! He has made me "ME" again after 2 years of suffering with A.I.E.D. and Meniere's Syndrome and it's effects! Not only do I highly recommend him, I will tell you he made me a believer and I'm his patient for life! Thank you, Dr. Li and staff, you are all so very special! Hugs!
