Combination Treatments
Chinese medicine is so much more than just acupuncture. I am also trained in herbal medicine, 5 element nutrition, and different types of traditional hands-on techniques. I find that these complimentary therapies can enhance the effects of acupuncture, helping you get better faster, giving me the ability to address a wide range of diverse conditions. If any of them would be beneficial for your condition, I will include them with your session at no extra charge.
My toolbox includes:- acupuncture: the fundamental therapy upon which all of my sessions are built
- herbal medicine: classic Chinese herbal formulas in a convenient pill form
- tui na: Chinese medical deep tissue massage techniques for pain
- zhi ya: acupressure, manually pressing along the channels on the acupuncture points
- ba guan: moving and stationary cupping using traditional glass fire cups
- gua sha: specialized massage tools made of horn and jade, used with medicated oils
- topical oils and patches: Chinese herbal preparations that help heal from the outside in
- 5 element nutrition: classic Chinese dietary therapy that considers both your condition and constitution
