Acupuncture
Acupuncture works by stimulating the blood vessels, nervous system and immune system to help the body to heal itself. The treatment can focus on relieve pain, improve function of organs, strengthen the immune system,
aid the digestive system, regulate the metabolism and hormones. It is also can be used to complement IVF treatments, and support a pregnant women through pregnancy and postpartum.
Back to over two thousand years ago, illness and pain occur when the Qi (vital energy that passes through meridians in our bodies) can not flow freely. The concept of inserting ultra-fine sterile and disposable needles (hair width) into specific acupuncture points, intent then, to restore this free flow of qi and trigger the body's natural healing response.
From the western perspective, the insertion of very fine needles at specific points in the body, stimulates the sensory nerves located under the skin and in the muscles to produce natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. The release of these naturally substances encourage healing mechanisms to activate and are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electroacupuncture stimulates the same points of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Needles are inserted on specific points along the body and attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered.
Electroacupuncture is considered to be especially useful for conditions such as chronic pain syndromes,Bells Palsy or when the patient's body requires a stronger stimulation.
Nada Protocol
The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol is a ear-needling technique specifically for the treatment of addictions and mental health.
It consists of the insertion of single use, sterile small acupuncture needles into five points on the outer surface of a person’s ear (auricular acupuncture). The needles remain inserted for minimum of 20 minutes.
This treatment assists in reducing stress, reducing withdrawal
symptoms and cravings, decreasing anxiety, calming the individual,
promoting relaxation and sleep.
Cupping

Cupping is used to:
It targets acupuncture points as well as body parts that provide relief through pressure. However, rather than applying pressure to muscles like massage, the suction pulls the muscles upward. For most patients, this is a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation.
Through cupping toxins can be released, blockages can be cleared, and veins and arteries can be refreshed as it is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep from the external skin. Even hands, wrists, legs, and ankles can be 'cupped,' thus applying the healing to specific organs that correlate with these points.
The side effects of cupping are fairly mild. Bruising should be expected, but skin should return to looking normal within 10 days.
Tuina Massage
Tuina massage is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that addresses specific patterns of disharmony in the body. It follows the same principals of acupuncture however instead use needles, the same acupuncture points are manipulated by pressure.
Tuina can be used as a complement of acupuncture treatment. Many people seek the treatment for stiff neck, distension of shoulders, sciatica, and sore back.
Moxibustion
The technique involves the burning of a Chinese Herb, called Mugwort (also known as artemesia vulgaris or Ai ye in Chinese).
Research has shown that moxa acts as an agent that increases blood circulation.
A moxa stick is used or the moxa is wrapped around the tip of a needle and lit and usually last for 10 minutes.
The heat is transferred deeply into the acupuncture point, bringing instant relief to pain in the muscles and joints.
The treatment is also part of an acupuncture session. Depend on the condition of the patient, the practitioner will suggest the use of moxa.
