Acupuncture

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are safe, effective, and drug-free options for the treatment of most non-emergency conditions. Based on the theory of "health through balance," acupuncture and Chinese medicine are uniquely capable of diagnosing and treating the imbalances that cause disease and the related symptoms.  Health is a state of optimal balance, where all of your systems are working in a coordinated, functional way.

Pain. Stress. Sleepless nights. Digestive chaos. You don’t have to live with them. Acupuncture—part of our naturopathic toolkit—has helped thousands quiet the noise and get their bodies back in rhythm. No drugs. No side effects. Just you, a few hair-thin needles, and real relief.
 
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture places ultra-fine needles at specific points. This:
  • Calms your nervous system (turns off fight-or-flight)
  • Boosts blood flow and oxygen to tissues
  • Triggers your body’s own painkillers (endorphins) and anti-inflammatories
  • Resets hormones and neurotransmitters
Science backs it: brain scans show acupuncture lights up the same healing centers as ibuprofen—without the stomach issues.

Gua Sha

Tight neck from desk life? Old knee injury that still nags? Migraines that ruin your weekends?
Gua sha (pronounced “gwa-sha”) is a 2,000-year-old Chinese medicine technique that melts tension, speeds healing, and leaves you moving easier—often in just one session.

 
 
How Gua Sha Works
A smooth tool  glides over oiled skin with gentle, rhythmic strokes. This creates therapeutic micro-inflammation:
  • Tiny red dots (petechiae) pop up—no swelling, just signals.
  • Blood flow surges up to 400% in the area.
  • Stuck fascia, scar tissue, and adhesions loosen.
  • Your body floods the spot with fresh oxygen, nutrients, and repair cells.
The marks? Think of them as healing hickeys—pink to purple, gone in 2–5 days.
 
Conditions Gua Sha Helps
  • Neck and shoulder knots
  • Low back pain
  • Knee and hip stiffness
  • Sciatica
  • Migraines
  • Tension headaches
  • TMJ clenching
  • Facial puffiness
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Post-injury scars
  • Hepatitis support (Harvard pilot studies show it reduces liver enzymes)
