Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow and address conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and stress. Our practitioners combine traditional Chinese techniques with modern neuro-anatomical approaches for targeted relief. Patients often experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and restored balance after sessions.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture by addressing physiological imbalances. We prescribe time-tested Chinese herbal blends to support digestion, immunity, and hormonal health. These natural remedies work synergistically with other therapies to enhance long-term wellness outcomes.
Exstore Assessment
Exstore identifies and corrects muscle dysfunction related to injuries or chronic pain. This technique combines acupuncture with manual therapy to restore mobility and prevent recurring issues. Patients benefit from faster recovery and improved joint stability through this integrated approach.
Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition guidance focuses on whole foods and stress-reduction strategies. We help patients develop sustainable eating habits tailored to their metabolic needs. This service addresses food sensitivities, digestive disorders, and emotional eating patterns for comprehensive health improvement.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted dry needling releases muscle knots causing localized and referred pain. This evidence-based technique effectively treats sports injuries, sciatica, and tension headaches. Most patients experience immediate mobility improvements and reduced discomfort after sessions.

Kind, honest and skilled healer...he helped resolve some serious health issues in about four visits, whereas western practitioners were pushing various medical tests and long-term prescriptions--all of which were avoided in Dr. Jim's highly intuitive and exceptional care. Truly a godsend...highly recommend.

Im not sure why there is only one other review on here, but he deserves a lot more than that. Jim is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable. He has helped not only me but my family also over the years. Every time Ive had an appointment Ive noticed that I feel better than when I came in. He takes the time to listen to what you need and addresses it. Would highly recommend to him to everyone. Thanks Jim:)

Clearly a experienced practitioner and well-trained. Jim is a very special person and healer. After a serious accident, both my knee and neck are responding very well.
