Start with the whole pattern
Acupuncture care should be personal—not formulaic.
The same symptom can arise from different combinations of activity, injury, muscular guarding, stress, sleep, recovery, and overall health. Your visit begins by understanding how those factors fit together.
Treatment may draw from Traditional Chinese Medicine, orthopedic acupuncture, Balance Method acupuncture, distal needle acupuncture, Qi Gong therapy, Tui Na, or herbal medicine.
Listen carefully. Treat specifically. Help the body move forward.
Focused care
Support for how you feel, move, and recover.
Your evaluation determines which methods are appropriate. Care is adapted over time according to your response and goals.
