Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points along meridians, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring energy flow. Patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and health goals.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations combine centuries-old wisdom with modern research to address digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions. Our practitioners prescribe carefully curated blends in various forms, ensuring safe and effective complementary treatment to acupuncture sessions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote detoxification. This technique effectively treats chronic pain, respiratory conditions, and sports injuries while enhancing overall wellness through traditional Chinese medicine principles.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, enhancing treatment effectiveness for cold-related conditions and chronic pain. This warming therapy improves energy flow and complements acupuncture treatments for musculoskeletal and digestive disorders.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves gentle skin scraping to stimulate microcirculation and release muscle tension. This traditional technique effectively addresses chronic pain, respiratory issues, and inflammation while promoting lymphatic drainage and overall wellness through meridian stimulation.

I have Acupuncture from Hayley and Nikki multiple times and have had great results. I've seen allot of people have treatment here and they keep coming back, that must mean something is working for them. These providers are all about their patients and helping them by using a different method. It's opened my eyes to healthy ways of treating issues a healthy way. Thank you Advanced Acupuncture family.
