Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treats chronic pain and medical conditions through precise needle insertion at meridian points. Certified practitioners stimulate healing responses in musculoskeletal, neurological, and digestive systems using sterile filiform needles. Treatments address migraines, arthritis, and stress-related disorders while improving circulation and energy flow.
Fire Cupping
Traditional fire cupping creates therapeutic suction using heated glass cups. This deep-tissue treatment releases muscle tension, improves circulation, and removes toxins. Clinically effective for back pain, respiratory issues, and inflammation management through increased blood flow and myofascial release.
Gua Sha Therapy
Gua Sha uses controlled skin scraping to stimulate microcirculation and metabolic waste removal. This traditional technique reduces inflammation, relieves muscle stiffness, and accelerates recovery from viral symptoms. Visible petechiae indicate toxin release while promoting lymphatic drainage and immune function.
Medical Massage
Custom medical massage combines deep tissue, myofascial release, and Swedish techniques for specific conditions. Therapists address chronic pain, sports injuries, and posture issues through targeted pressure point manipulation. Sessions include hot stone therapy and herbal linament applications for enhanced healing effects.
Herbal Therapy
Personalized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using traditional Chinese medicine principles. Internally administered decoctions and topical liniments address inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and digestive disorders. All botanicals follow NIH safety standards for enhanced therapeutic outcomes and sustained wellness.

Dr. Wong is an awesome treatment provider. She cares about and treats "the whole person". She listens, she educates; her care, her compassion is genuine. I feel so blessed that I met her and she has/is staying in my life as a friend and a confident. I can discuss anything with her.
Acupuncture treatment is only a part of what you will receive once you enter into the caring hands of Dr. Wong.

Dr. Wong keeps a clean and cheerful establishment. She took time to understand the causes of my pain, then she applied the necessary treatments to soothe my arthritis pain and relaxed my muscles. I highly recommend her services.
