Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain, emotional imbalances, and systemic health issues by restoring qi flow. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced nervous system regulation through personalized treatment plans.
Medical Massage
Tui Na combines deep-tissue manipulation with traditional Chinese medicine principles to treat musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy improves joint mobility, releases muscle tension, and enhances circulation through targeted techniques. Patients benefit from accelerated recovery for sports injuries and chronic pain conditions through integrated treatment approaches.
Dietary Therapy
Chinese dietary therapy creates personalized nutrition plans based on individual health profiles. This approach addresses digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and systemic inflammation through food-based solutions. Patients learn to optimize seasonal eating patterns and meal timing to support overall wellness and treatment effectiveness.

Questions
What conditions can acupuncture treat effectively?
Acupuncture successfully addresses chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, digestive issues, and musculoskeletal conditions. Our treatments also help with insomnia, stress management, and women's health concerns through personalized protocols.
Is acupuncture safe and does it hurt?
Acupuncture uses sterile, disposable needles that cause minimal sensation. The procedure is safe when performed by licensed professionals, with most patients experiencing only mild pressure or tingling during treatment.
How many sessions will I need for results?
Treatment plans vary by condition, but most patients notice improvement within 4-6 sessions. Chronic conditions may require ongoing care, while acute issues often resolve with fewer treatments through our cumulative approach.
Do you accept insurance for acupuncture services?
We verify insurance benefits for acupuncture coverage. Medicaid and Medicare currently don't reimburse for acupuncture treatments at our facility, though private insurance plans often provide partial coverage.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Initial consultations include comprehensive health assessments and personalized treatment planning. Patients complete medical history forms and receive their first 60-minute session focusing on immediate concerns and long-term wellness goals.

After a year and a half of dealing with a wonky hip, I decided to try something different. My friend recommended Adam although I was a bit skeptical that a holistic approach would help. But within 24 hours, it has already exceeded my expectations. I am moving better than I have in a long time. Adam explains things very well, taught me a few stretches to do on my own, and seems very understanding. Highly recommend!

Visited Adam after having some issues with a flair up from a previous back issue. Amazing professional whom takes the time and dedicated himself to helping his client. Treatment was amazing and inside of 24 hours i was feeling better. After writing a follow up email he emailed me back with handwritten instructions on additional spine stretches i could complete. Excellent all around and a pleasure to work with.

I've been coming to Adam for months now along with my family and he a true healer. I've had countless doctors appointments for various ailments and Adam has been the only person to provide me with accurate information and treatments. His method of treatment is a hybrid of traditional & alternative medicine which I appreciate- rather than just treat the symptoms, he is successful in determining the cause of the problem and treating it so the symptoms no longer occur. If you're on the fence about alternative medicine or simply looking for a new acupuncturist, please give Adam a chance, you will not

Adam takes the acupuncture experience to a whole new level. I have been to many acupuncturists but Adam and the care he provides is bar none exceptional. This isn't a "Stick you and run onto the next patient" kind of operation. An hour session with Adam is just that an hour--one on one with him. He takes the time to really listen to you and what is going on with you. Adam genuinely cares about his patient's wellness. I am so grateful that I didn't have surgery or take pain pills because working with Adam has healed most of the problems that first brought me to him. During
