Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting sterile needles at specific points to balance energy flow. This ancient practice treats chronic pain, stress, and organ dysfunction by stimulating neurohormonal pathways. Our customized treatments address individual health concerns while promoting natural healing processes through improved circulation and endorphin release.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses suction to draw stagnant blood to the skin surface. This detoxifies muscle tissue while increasing oxygenated blood flow to promote healing. We combine cupping with acupuncture to enhance pain relief for conditions like migraines, muscle spasms, and respiratory issues through negative pressure application.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations target internal imbalances causing health issues. Prescribed as tinctures or teas, these natural remedies address inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and digestive disorders without pharmaceutical side effects. We integrate herbal medicine with acupuncture for comprehensive treatment of chronic conditions.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves skin scraping with a rounded tool to release muscle tension. This technique improves circulation while reducing inflammation through petechiae formation that fades within days. We use Gua Sha to treat musculoskeletal pain, fevers, and chronic conditions by restoring healthy blood flow patterns.
Tui Na
Tui Na combines acupressure and massage to stimulate energy meridians. This therapy addresses chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues through targeted manipulation techniques. We integrate Tui Na with acupuncture to enhance treatment effectiveness for conditions like arthritis and sciatica through non-invasive physical therapy.

Report
I came down with severe vertigo, dizziness and massive pressure on my forehead. I was miserable and scared for weeks. After my very first session with Robert I got off the table in disbelief. I 100% felt like myself again. Robert put me on gentle protocol of Chinese herbs and those, paired with a handful of additional treatments, have me living fully again! The vertigo hasnt come back, the massive pressure on my forehead disappeared for good 24 hours after starting the herbal supplement, and Im no longer dizzy. Thank you Robert for giving me back my life!!!

I cannot say enough about Lotus Studios. Bert is knowledgeable, listens and truly cares about your well being. He is patient and gentle. I wasnt sure if acupuncture would help me, but I have seen great results and I no longer have doubts. I have been to a few other acupuncturists but Berts knowledge and care make the real difference.

I practically fell into Lotus Studio's lap. I was in a car accident and was having some extra problems that Eastern medicine could not address. I did a quick google search and easily made an appointment online. Robert Ogarek, is such a kind and compassionate healer. Who takes MedPay! He is a great listener, very professional bedside manner, and I feel so much better. Easy to find building with ample parking.

Rob is fantastic. I've had chronic pain for 7 years and he is one of the few practicioners I've had that's given me relief, short and long term. He's knowledgeable about the physical and metaphysical aspects of acupuncture and personalizes the treatment to your needs which he reassess every session. I've recommended him to multiple friends.

As someone who had never tried acupuncture before, I was a little apprehensive going into this experience, but it turned out to be truly delightful! The facility is beautiful, clean, and smells like herbal heaven. Robert is extremely caring and gentle, and I have felt wonderfully relaxed and rejuvenated after every session. I highly recommend treatment here! My boyfriend and I have both loved it.
