Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice helps restore energy flow and balance to treat various conditions. Patients receive customized treatment plans based on their constitutional type and specific health concerns.
Herbal Therapy
Custom-blended herbal formulas complement acupuncture treatments to address both acute and chronic conditions. Our practitioners prescribe individualized herbal regimens using high-quality ingredients to enhance treatment effectiveness and promote long-term wellness through natural remedies.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique effectively treats pain conditions, respiratory issues, and stress-related disorders by promoting blood flow and releasing deep tissue restrictions.
Facial Rejuvenation
This specialized acupuncture treatment reduces signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and improving facial circulation. Combining microcurrent therapy and herbal skincare, it addresses fine lines, skin texture, and overall facial vitality without invasive procedures.
Sports Medicine
Our sports medicine approach integrates acupuncture, cupping, and rehabilitation exercises to treat sports injuries and enhance athletic performance. We specialize in accelerating recovery from sprains, strains, and repetitive motion injuries while improving flexibility and endurance.

Dr. Pendleberry is.. priceless. He saved me from the clutches of Western Medicine and an unknown amount of prescription medications multiple times over the last 15 years. He patient intake is how you would expect your healthcare to be handled - through, looking at everything holistically. Highly recommend!

Super sweet acupuncturist and, as my girlfriend says, her personal woowoo doctor. Dr Pendleberry is kind, gentle and funny. He has had his own challenges with his spine and is deeply considerate and thoughtful. His perspective on what is going on with the body is valuable and insightful.

Dr. Pendleberry is quite the gem. He is extremely knowledgeable in the different modalities of health. A true healer. I send all my patients to him to get healing that a western medicine doctor can't exactly provide. The ways he diagnosis the body is beyond the limited scope that a general physician can see. He has healed so many of my patients and I'm very grateful for his help and knowledge. The best!!

I've known and seen Dr Pendleberry for nearly 20 years. I'm 41 years old and very healthy thanks to his support and guidance. He is a rare and kind soul. Like no other healing practitioner I have known. I do not trust any other doctor when it comes to my health. I feel it is an honor and privilege to have known Dr P for so long!
