Acupuncture, a key therapy within Chinese Medicine (also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM), stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, promotes circulation and hormonal balance, reduces pain and inflammation, and is effective for both physical and psychological concerns.

In TCM, the body’s energetic system is made up of meridians, channels that circulate vital energy known as Qi. Health issues arise when Qi becomes imbalanced. Acupuncture restores this balance by regulating Qi flow; each point has a specific function, and their combinations support various healing processes. 

Acupuncture needles stimulate the release of endorphins, which ease pain, boost mood, enhance well-being, and promote the body’s natural healing abilities. Most patients find acupuncture relaxing, with sensations such as warmth, tingling, heaviness, or a light electric feeling. Though relief is often felt after just one treatment session, a long-lasting and effective treatment plan typically starts with 2–3 sessions per week, gradually tapering to once weekly, then every two weeks, and eventually monthly as symptoms improve. Continued treatments support long-term health through life’s natural ebbs and flows.

Fire cupping, an ancient Chinese medicine therapy, uses heat to create suction in glass cups, drawing blood, lymph, and toxins to the skin’s surface while unblocking meridians to restore the free flow of Qi and blood. This process enhances circulation, releases muscle tension, calms the nervous system, activates the lymphatic system, and supports healing. 

The temporary circular marks left behind, known as sha, are not bruises but signs of the therapy’s effect. These marks typically fade within a few days to a week.

Chinese herbal medicine is an important pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), using natural ingredients to create formulas tailored to each patient’s specific pattern and diagnosis. Dr. Paige sources herbal formulas from trusted suppliers recognized for their quality, sustainability, and effectiveness. To ensure patients receive the most appropriate and fresh formulas, herbs are typically ordered as needed rather than maintaining a large on-site inventory. When appropriate, formulas can be shipped directly to patients for convenience and continuity of care. Herbs are commonly provided in powder or capsule form and are often used alongside acupuncture and other therapies to support and enhance treatment outcomes.

Not provided as stand-alone treatments but incorporated as needed into a patient’s treatment plan.

Moxibustion (Moxa): A gentle heat therapy using the medicinal herb mugwort, placed on acupuncture needles or burned near the skin to warm and move Qi and blood. Patients can expect a soothing, relaxing warmth during treatment.

Gua Sha: A scraping technique that uses a smooth-edged tool, often made from jade or rose quartz. It involves firm, long strokes that stimulate blood flow and promote the movement of Qi. Like cupping, gua sha can produce temporary marks called sha—red or purple streaks or patches—that typically fade within a few days or a week. 

Tui Na: Chinese massage that uses kneading, pressing, and stretching techniques along the meridians and acupuncture points, performed in short, targeted sessions to promote energy flow and relieve tension.

Acupressure: A needle-free technique that applies gentle to firm pressure on specific acupuncture points to relieve tension, improve circulation, and encourage the smooth flow of Qi and blood. 

Ear seeds: Small seeds or beads, typically made from vaccaria seeds, that are taped onto specific acupuncture points on the ear. They provide continuous, gentle stimulation to these points, helping to balance the body’s energy, reduce pain, relieve stress, and support various health conditions. Ear seeds are a non-invasive extension of acupuncture that patients can wear in short durations to enhance treatment effects between sessions.
