Acupuncture

“Li Gan Jian Ying (When you stand a pole under the sun, you immediately see its shadow).” —Dr. Richard Tan

East Asian Medicine is an indigenous healing system and holistic approach to health and well-being, with roots tracing back at least 3,000 years to farmers, philosophers, cultural workers, healers, astronomers, ecologists, and stewards of land-based traditions.

Acupuncture is the most widely known practice in East Asian medicine. It is administered through thin, sterile needles at specific points and regions of the body, which activates the nervous system to recruit endorphins that elicit a healing response.

Additional modalities include Tuina massage, Cupping therapy, Gua sha, Sound therapy, and Stone and Crystal therapy to create a unique multi-sensory healing experience. Each modality works by mobilizing the body’s resources to promote healing for various ailments. Tuina is a form of therapeutic massage with roots in osteopathic medicine, which utilizes meridian therapy, acupressure, anatomy, and physical assessment. Cupping employs glass, plastic, or silicone cupping tools to create suction, release tension, reduce rigidity, and increase tissue circulation and oxygenation. Gua Sha provides instrument-assisted unidirectional press-stroking to eliminate noxious elements within the tissues.
