Acupuncture Services

Modern life places a lot of demands on the body. Acupuncture helps the body shift out of “fight-or-flight” mode and into a calmer, balanced state. By gently stimulating specific points, acupuncture:

• Calms the nervous system
  Lowers stress hormones like cortisol and helps the body relax.

• Balances mood and emotions
  Encourages the release of serotonin and endorphins, improving mood and reducing anxiety.
• Improves sleep quality
  By reducing tension and regulating the body’s internal rhythms, many people sleep better after treatments.
• Reduces physical tension
  Stress often shows up as tight muscles, headaches, or digestive issues—acupuncture helps ease these symptoms.
• Supports overall wellness
  It promotes better energy flow, boosts the immune system, and encourages a sense of mental clarity and well-being.

Overall, acupuncture helps you feel more grounded, relaxed, and resilient—supporting both emotional health and physical wellness.

Cupping uses gentle suction to help release tight muscles, increase circulation, and relieve pain. It’s a favorite among athletes and people with chronic tension.

Here’s how it works:

Cupping uses small cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction pulls the skin and muscle tissue upward, which increases blood flow to the area and encourages the body’s natural healing processes.

There are two main ways it works:

1. Improves Circulation & Oxygen Flow
   The suction draws fresh, oxygen-rich blood into tight or tense areas. This increased circulation helps muscles relax, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster recovery.
2. Releases Muscle Tension & Fascia Restrictions
   By lifting the tissues instead of compressing them (like traditional massage), cupping helps loosen fascia—your body’s connective tissue. This can relieve deep muscle knots and free areas of stiffness.
3. Supports Detoxification & Lymphatic Drainage
   Cupping can stimulate the lymphatic system, helping your body move out waste products, toxins, and metabolic buildup that contribute to soreness or sluggishness.
4. Relieves “Stagnation”
   In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), pain is often caused by blocked or stagnant Qi and blood. Cupping is used to “unblock” or “move” this stagnation, restoring smooth flow and reducing discomfort.
5. Why the Marks Happen
   The circular marks left after cupping aren’t bruises—they’re signs of increased circulation and the release of stagnation. They typically fade within a few days.
