Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment manipulates the body's natural energy (Qi) through fine needle insertion. This ancient Chinese practice restores balance by addressing energy flow disruptions causing pain or illness. Effective for chronic conditions like sciatica, arthritis, and migraines, our Orlando clinic combines traditional techniques with modern diagnostics to treat both symptoms and root causes of various health issues.

Electro Acupuncture

Electroacupuncture delivers mild electrical currents through acupuncture needles to enhance treatment effects. This technique stimulates blood flow and releases natural painkillers like endorphins. Particularly effective for chronic back pain, disc problems, and sports injuries, our Orlando practitioners use FDA-approved devices to safely treat conditions ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to plantar fasciitis with adjustable intensity settings.

Laser Acupuncture

Laser acupuncture uses low-level cold lasers to stimulate acupuncture points without needles. This non-invasive treatment promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation through infrared light penetration. Ideal for needle-phobic patients, our Orlando clinic employs this technique for pain management, stress relief, and treating conditions like fibromyalgia while maintaining complete safety with no reported side effects.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy creates suction on specific body areas to improve circulation and release muscle tension. This traditional Chinese technique draws out toxins and stimulates energy flow, effectively treating chronic pain, respiratory issues, and stress-related conditions. Our Orlando practitioners combine cupping with acupuncture for enhanced results in treating musculoskeletal disorders and detoxification.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort herb to acupuncture points to stimulate circulation and dispel cold. This technique effectively treats fertility issues, menstrual disorders, and chronic pain conditions. Our Orlando clinic uses both direct and indirect methods to warm meridians, enhance Qi flow, and address yang deficiency conditions while promoting overall wellness through natural healing processes.

I could not speak more highly about my experience at the J.P. Hou Institute. I came in for help with a dermatological issue and Dr. Alexander was warm, friendly, and reassuring. He took nearly 40 minutes simply listening to my medical history then outlining a plan of treatment - which was far better than the usual 5 minute appointments at the GP. I continued to see Dr. Alexander for a few more sessions, and before long my skin issue began to see positive results. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This was my very first acupuncture experience and I am very pleased to say I only have positive feedback for Dr. Hou. I was suffering from digestion issues for 2+ years and i have been to multiple doctors that have either not resolved the issue or directed me towards probiotics. Upon my first consultation with Dr. Alexander, I felt that he understood all of my problems and was very observant to my concerns. After multiple visits and the prescription of Chinese herbal medicine, my digestion finally feels restored. I will continue to come back. I would recommend acupuncture, Dr. Alexander and
