Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the holistic health technique of traditional Chinese medicine, which originated in 100 BC. Today, acupuncture is practiced worldwide to treat and prevent a wide range of health conditions. Its guiding principle is that acupuncture stimulates qi (vital energy that circulates the body) to help unblock congested areas, improve the body’s functions, and promote the body’s natural self-healing process. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterilized disposable needles at selected acupuncture points to optimize the flow of energy throughout the body. Acupuncture stimulations are not only known for pain management, but also effective in treating anxiety, depression, hormone imbalances, and immunity boosting.

Cupping

Cupping therapy is also part of ancient Chinese medicine. Dr. Liu will look at each patient’s specific needs to find specific locations on their body to place specialized cups on their skins which create suction. This treatment helps release muscle tension, alleviates pain, and reduces inflammation. Cupping therapy also improves overall well-being by promoting blood flow, detoxing the body, and aiding  relaxation.
