How I Treat

The Modalities of Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine offers a variety of modalities, each serving a unique purpose. When combined, these therapies work synergistically to enhance treatment effectiveness and improve outcomes. I often integrate multiple modalities in my treatments to ensure you receive the most comprehensive care possible.

Learn more about each modality below and how they can work together to enhance your treatment.

Electroacupuncture

Acupuncture

  • This technique targets motor points, the specific areas where nerves connect to muscles, sometimes with a gentle electric current running through the needles. It's commonly used to help ease muscle tension and support movement, which makes it well suited to musculoskeletal issues.

  • Acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting balance and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. It’s effective for managing pain, stress, and various internal health concerns.

Dry/Trigger Point Needling

  • Dry needling targets tight muscle knots, known as trigger points, to relieve pain and improve mobility. It’s a precise technique designed to release deep-seated tension and restore normal muscle function.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

  • Chinese Herbal Medicine involves using carefully selected plant-based formulas to address a wide range of health concerns. Each prescription is tailored to your unique needs, working alongside acupuncture to enhance your overall well-being.

Tuina (Chinese Remedial Massage)

Moxibustion

  • Tuina is a therapeutic massage technique that combines pressure, stretching, and joint manipulation to relieve pain, improve circulation, and restore balance.

  • Moxibustion involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near specific points on the body to warm and stimulate them. It’s used to improve circulation, support immunity, and enhance the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments.
