Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at strategic points to alleviate pain and treat health conditions like allergies, anxiety, and chronic pain. Our treatments are tailored to individual needs, combining traditional Chinese techniques with modern medical understanding. Patients often experience relief after a series of sessions, with minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal formulas address diverse health issues, from digestive problems to hormonal imbalances. Using raw or prepared herbs, we create synergistic blends to enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals. These natural remedies are designed to minimize side effects while supporting long-term wellness and internal balance.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage targets musculoskeletal pain and promotes relaxation through techniques like deep tissue work and myofascial release. It complements acupuncture by improving circulation and reducing tension in areas affected by chronic pain or injury. Sessions focus on restoring mobility and alleviating stress-related physical symptoms.
Sports Acupuncture
Sports acupuncture accelerates injury recovery and enhances athletic performance by targeting muscle and joint issues. Combined with therapeutic exercise, it addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis and sports-related strains. This approach helps athletes maintain peak physical condition while reducing recovery time between training sessions.
Dry Needling
Dry needling focuses on deactivating muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. This technique is particularly effective for myofascial pain syndromes and post-injury rehabilitation. Patients often experience immediate relief following treatment, with lasting benefits after multiple sessions.

Hugh is wonderful! He has helped me SO much with an autoimmune disorder and I have seen significant improvement, substantiated by both my medical tests as well as symptom improvement. He always has a great attitude and is very open to listening to you.

I met Hugh when I was suffering from a back strain from a rock climbing injury. As an athlete himself he knew just what to say and how to treat my injury. In no time I was back outside enjoying climbing pain free. Give Hugh a call!

Hugh is an amazingly competent acupuncturist, not to mention he also is a great masseuse. I have gone to him for about 10 years, off and on, for various injuries and problems and I really trust him as a doctor - he really knows his stuff! He also is honest about if he thinks acupuncture will help and how many treatments is might take. One of the best experiences I has was doing acupuncture for menopause- it really truly helped with all my symptoms and took it down from 100 to 20 in terms of the how the symptoms felt. I highly recommend Hugh!

I've had chronic knee, shoulder and neck issues or years. Hugh has helped me so much! He really has a special touch and gets to the issue fast. I've also been heading into menopause for a couple of years, completely miserable.. Needles and herbs have helped greatly!! Thank you, Hugh!

Hugh is awesome at Acunpunture!!! Very knowledgeable about explaining everything involved with Acunpunture... Fair pricing.. I went in there with very acute intense pain lower back and glutes... The first treatment was really good but challenging due to my pain level. Went back two days later for second treatment and my body really released the pain.. I highly recommend Hugh for Acunpunture!!!!!
