Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments combine 3,000-year-old Chinese medicine principles with modern diagnostic techniques to address chronic pain, migraines, and neurological disorders. Using sterile needles at specific meridian points, we stimulate the body's natural healing processes and restore energy flow. Patients typically experience significant improvement after 3-10 sessions, with many reporting immediate relief following their first treatment.
Herbal Therapy
Custom-blended herbal remedies are prepared using 9-18 medicinal substances tailored to individual needs. Our on-site pharmacy offers specialized treatments for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system support. Formulations are continuously adjusted based on patient progress, combining traditional wisdom with contemporary clinical research to maximize therapeutic effectiveness.
Cupping Therapy
This ancient technique uses controlled suction to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote detoxification. Sessions target conditions like chronic back pain, respiratory issues, and post-injury recovery by creating negative pressure that draws out toxins and stimulates healing at affected areas.
Tui Na Massage
A therapeutic bodywork practice combining acupressure and deep tissue techniques to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Sessions improve joint mobility, relieve nerve compression, and enhance circulation through targeted manipulations that follow meridian pathways and energy flow principles.
Tai Chi Instruction
Guided sessions teaching traditional Tai Chi movements to improve balance, flexibility, and mental focus. The practice integrates breath control with slow, deliberate motions to reduce stress, enhance cardiovascular health, and support rehabilitation from chronic conditions through gentle, controlled physical engagement.

Sad to report on this. However, Ive been a patient for many years Ive spent over 15k with Dr. Peter and Im still having severe headaches (he tells me its my neck) hes the one who works on my neck. Not to mention, I pay in advance for services 400$ Per 5 sessions -just to get kicked out before my time is up by his wife Gretchen. My treatments (30 minutes) are interrupted ahead of time and Im told to get up, get my things, and sign the form saying I had my full treatment. Gretchen barges in the room while I have needles in me its absurd. If I express my concern regarding my

As a soccer player who has suffered with chronic back pain and a stiff neck for over 2 years, I finally addressed it after my wife gifted me a session of acupuncture from this charming spot in Mid-City. Ive had 2 sessions so far and feel terrific. The nurse and doctor are very warm and polite and the doc knew exactly where my pain and tightness was located. I literally feel like a new man and can swear by this treatment for its effectiveness! Thank you.

Completely new to acupuncture but my husband and I were here on vacation this last weekend when he had a flare up for his back injury. Neither of us have tried acupuncture but desperate times call for desperate measures! He was able to get a solid 8 hours of relief and allowed him to walk around for about 6-8 miles for the rest of the day. Probably should have taken it a bit easier but we wanted to make the best of the time we had. Was a very friendly staff and beautiful building.
