Acupuncture is the art of inserting tiny sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote health.  A part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture is a time tested therapy, well known to help prevent and overcome illness, support physical and emotional well-being, promote recovery from injury,  build immunity and boost energy.

Being passed down over thousands of years, the original art of Acupuncture has not only been preserved, but also greatly expanded upon. A gentle and relatively painless therapy, it supports the body to heal itself. Acupuncture works through various mechanisms including direct stimulation of the body tissues, and regulation of the nervous and endocrine systems.

Tranditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture in San Diego
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers patients a number of holistic therapies in addition to Acupuncture which can be used alone or in combination to increase treatment effectiveness. These include: Asian Bodywork (Tuina),  Reflexology, Cupping, Herbal Medicine, Moxibustion, Microcurrent, and Gua Sha.

Cupping is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Cupping- This technique uses small cups (usually made of glass) to create local suction on the skin.  The therapeutic action is to increase the flow of qi and blood in the local area.  Often this therapy is used for tight, stiff, or sore muscles.


Microcurrent Acupuncture Technique very effective for pain
Microcurrent –A much more modern therapy.  Very subtle energy current is supplied by attaching diodes to acupuncture needles during treatment.  The current helps open blockages and move stagnation in the local area to promote healing. 


Moxabustion or
Moxibustion or “Moxa” – is the warming of acupuncture points.  This is done by burning the herb mugwort and can be administered in a variety of ways.  It is thought to help tonify, strengthen the body and speed recovery from illness.


Herbal Medicines
Herbal Medicine  - Herbs have been used for thousands of years and are still being prescribed for their time tested therapeutic actions.  A well trained practitioner uses the art of herbal formulation to tailor the medicine to the individual patient.
Massage Asian Bodywork (Tuina) a great adjunct to acupuncture
Asian Bodywork (Tuina) – This unique form of bodywork is based on the theory of acupuncture meridians.  It utilizes pushing, grasping and a number of other hands-on techniques including assisted stretching.  It is used for many conditions commonly treated by acupuncture and is especially effective for musculo-skeletal issues including tightness, spasms, and mis-alignment.  Foot reflexology is also utilized for a variety of health concerns

Gua Sha is another great technique used in Chinese Medicine
Gua Sha - Another hands-on technique which is essentially deep pressure and pushing with a soft edged tool.  Gua sha brings abundant new blood and qi to the local area promoting the healing and recovery process.

*These therapies can be stand alone or added onto an Acupuncture session.
