Services
Acupuncture
Our skilled practitioners provide personalized acupuncture sessions targeting pain management, stress relief, and overall wellness. Using fine needles at specific points, we stimulate the body's natural healing processes to address chronic conditions, injuries, and stress-related disorders. This ancient practice helps restore energy flow and promote physical and emotional balance.
Herbal Medicine
We offer customized herbal formulations from our extensive pharmacy containing over 200 traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Our practitioners prescribe specific combinations to address individual health concerns, supporting the body's healing mechanisms through natural plant-based remedies. These time-tested formulas target various conditions from digestive issues to immune support.
Cupping Therapy
This ancient technique uses controlled suction to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote detoxification. Our practitioners apply glass cups to specific areas, creating negative pressure that enhances blood flow and accelerates healing. Cupping effectively addresses chronic pain, respiratory issues, and stress-related conditions through its deep-tissue stimulation.
Infrared Therapy
We utilize advanced infrared technology to deliver deep-penetrating heat that stimulates cellular activity and improves circulation. Our Amethyst Crystal Bio-Mats emit far infrared waves that promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural healing processes. This non-invasive treatment aids sleep quality, pain management, and overall wellness through its calming thermal effects.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Our specialized facial acupuncture treatments target signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. Fine needles placed strategically on the face enhance circulation and nutrient delivery to skin cells, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while promoting a natural, youthful glow. This holistic approach improves skin texture and facial muscle tone without invasive procedures.

Professional and clean office. Friendly staff! My chronic low back of 10 plus years is practically gone. Dr Mark is just magical. He explains everything he is doing plus he sells this amazing topical solution that really helped with a recent bruise I got at the beach! I bought three bottles ! Highly recommend !

Superb care in an easy going, stress free environment. I was relieved of twenty five years of neck pain in two treatments.
