Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific meridian points to regulate energy flow and stimulate healing. Our practitioners use this technique to alleviate chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions by activating the body's natural painkillers and reducing inflammation. Patients often experience immediate relaxation and long-term symptom relief through regular sessions tailored to their specific health concerns.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates localized suction to increase blood circulation and release muscle tension. This therapy effectively treats back pain, sports injuries, and respiratory conditions by drawing out toxins and promoting tissue repair. We combine cupping with acupuncture for enhanced results, following strict safety protocols to minimize temporary skin markings while maximizing therapeutic benefits.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha utilizes smooth tools to scrape the skin along meridians, breaking up fascial adhesions and improving lymphatic drainage. This technique addresses musculoskeletal pain, chronic coughs, and autoimmune-related inflammation by stimulating microcirculation and immune response. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to manage temporary petechiae while optimizing systemic healing effects.
Nutrition Response Testing
This muscle response testing system identifies nutritional deficiencies and organ imbalances affecting health. We develop customized supplementation and dietary plans to support detoxification pathways and metabolic function. The approach addresses digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue by restoring fundamental nutritional foundations for sustained wellness.
Herbal Medicine
Custom-compounded herbal formulas target specific pathologies while considering individual constitutions. We prescribe classical Chinese medicine combinations to regulate digestion, hormonal cycles, and nervous system function. All prescriptions undergo rigorous quality control to ensure purity and potency, complementing acupuncture treatments for comprehensive systemic regulation.

Dr. Hall is absolutely amazing! I am a massage therapist. Last August I developed trigger thumb which could destroy the future of my career if not dealt with and fixed. My chiropractor suggested I get a shot in my thumb....I wasn't a fan of that idea lol. I asked if he thought acupuncture could help me. He said he wasn't sure, so why not give it a try. I had heard wonderful things about Dr. Hall so I decided to call her and was lucky enough to get a same day appointment. On the phone she suggested a specific supplement to help that I could start taking immediately, which made me very hopeful

I have excellent insurance that covers acupuncture and chiropractic services. When I called Dr. Halls office, I spoke to the office manager who told me they would not accept my insurance and that I had to recover the funds from my insurance company using a superbill.

My other providers tell me my insurance is outstanding and they are willing to work with my insurance company directly. In addition, their response is not truthful when they stated, Your insurance refuses to pay us. The office manager was not
