Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, restoring energy flow and promoting natural healing. This ancient practice effectively treats chronic pain, migraines, and various health conditions. Our certified practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern medical knowledge for optimal results.
Cupping
Cupping therapy creates localized suction to improve blood flow and relieve muscle tension. This technique effectively addresses back pain, neck stiffness, and respiratory conditions. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with immediate relief reported by most patients.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves gentle skin scraping to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This technique effectively treats chronic pain, headaches, and inflammation. Most patients experience immediate relief after their first session.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion uses heated mugwort to stimulate acupuncture points and enhance healing. This warming technique effectively treats arthritis, digestive issues, and menstrual disorders. The therapy promotes circulation and reduces inflammation naturally.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas address specific health concerns using time-tested Chinese medicinal combinations. Our practitioners prescribe tailored remedies for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions. All herbs meet strict quality and safety standards.

I would give Dr. Chen a 10 star if I could! He radically eased my sciatica pain only after a few acupuncture sessions. He truly knows his stuff! I herniated my disc after a brutal hike two weeks ago. And after about a week of dealing with it which includes and not limited to taking at least 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, taking hot baths, and stretching, I still found myself hunched over many times waiting for the pain to subside before i can walk or stand up again. The pain was borderline unbearable (and for those who have ever experienced sciatica, you know what I'm talking about

Dr Chen is an attentive and thorough practitioner. He makes you feel so relaxed and can help with literally ANY problem. I send my husband to him for pain from a car crash and I go for work related body pains. I would highly recommend visiting him if you wish for alternative treatment that really works.

I've always been curious about trying acupuncture. After meeting and talking with Dr. Roy I was open to trying a session. I was surprised when I didn't feel any pain when the needles were being placed. I felt an intense feelings of well-being and happiness that I haven't felt in years. My mind was clear and free of daily stress, my body felt euphoric and relaxed. Acupuncture can help with so many things weight loss, fatigue, arthritis, back pain... I highly recommend checking out Dr. Roy and discussing any concerns you might have about health!

Dr. Chen is BEST acupuncturist in LA. I was suffering abnormal hormone, and my period hadn't came about 2 months. I only try the acupuncture therapy for one time. My period came the second day. And I sleep very well at night. The acupuncture really WORKS. I saw so many patients who have allergy and wants to lose weight in Dr.Chen clinic. They all happy for the result. Definitely, I will keep visiting Dr Chen. The best thing is he takes PPO insurance.

This Thursday when I got up, I strained my back muscle and couldn't raise my left arm. Dr. Roy did acupuncture on me and I immediately felt my pain decrease and I was able to lift my arm up again. Dr Roy is very knowledgeable and experienced. He talked to me about different ways to take care of muscle stress. I would highly recommend visiting him.
