Services
Pain Management
Our acupuncture treatments target chronic pain conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries by stimulating endorphin production and improving circulation. This non-invasive approach addresses root causes rather than masking symptoms. Patients often experience significant relief after initial sessions, with long-term benefits through customized treatment plans.
Women's Health
Specialized acupuncture supports fertility, menstrual irregularities, and menopause symptoms by regulating hormonal balance and improving reproductive organ function. Treatments align with natural cycles to optimize conception chances and reduce PMS severity. Many patients achieve pregnancy success when combining acupuncture with fertility treatments.
Allergy Relief
Acupuncture boosts immune response and reduces inflammation to alleviate seasonal allergies and chronic sinus issues. By targeting meridian points linked to respiratory function, patients report decreased reliance on medications and lasting relief from congestion and sensitivity reactions after consistent sessions.
Stress Relief
Our sessions reduce anxiety and depression symptoms by promoting endorphin release and balancing nervous system activity. Patients experience improved sleep quality and emotional resilience through targeted point stimulation that calms overactive stress responses while enhancing natural mood regulation.
Digestive Support
Acupuncture addresses digestive disorders like IBS and chronic constipation by regulating gut motility and reducing inflammation. Treatments improve nutrient absorption and alleviate bloating through meridian stimulation connected to digestive organs, offering relief for patients with long-standing gastrointestinal imbalances.

Report
I went to Charley Yang for Trigeminal Neuralgia and crohn's disease. I noticed relief with my Neuralgia very quickly, though it was not cured, I did feel better. However, acupuncture, and I would say specifically this location, was amazing. I had a total out of body experience and would highly recommend this type of medicine to anyone. Specifically Charley Yang as he made things easy and relaxing. Never before and never since have I been so relaxed. I can't wait to go again.
