Services
Acupuncture
All the structures of your body depend on the smooth flow of blood, oxygen, and fluids for optimal function. Acupuncture needles can direct the flow of these vital nutrients.
Acupuncture is the primary focus of Andrea’s practice, complemented by other healing modalities such as Cupping, Gua Sha, and Manual Therapy.
Cupping and Gua Sha
Cupping and Gua Sha aid in the circulation of blood by bringing blood through the cells to the surface of the body. That is why you will see redness and bruising after a cupping or gua sha treatment. These techniques are not painful. They move stagnant and deoxygenated blood out of the tissues and allow fresh blood and oxygen to return to the cells.
Manual Therapy
Palpation is an essential diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine. Doing tui na or massage on a patient improves blood flow. It also helps me to assess the soft tissues for areas of stagnation and rigidity. Through palpation, I determine what will be the most beneficial acupuncture points.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbs are combined into formulas to treat a variety of illnesses. Many of these formulas have existed for thousands of years. They have been modified and refined to address common dysfunctions in the body that occur from aging, injury, overuse, taxation, and poor diet.
