Acupuncture is a holistic, natural approach to restoring balance within the body, relieving pain, and promoting overall well-being. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine needles at specific points on the body. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, balances energy (Qi), and enhances both physical and emotional health.
Our acupuncturist, Reina, provides personalized treatments designed to address each patient’s unique needs. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, fatigue, digestive issues, or seeking enhanced well-being, Reina customizes each session to foster whole-body healing.
Acupuncture targets specific points, or acupoints, along energy pathways known as meridians. Stimulating these points helps release blocked energy, improve circulation, and activate the body’s natural healing responses. Research shows that acupuncture can be effective for managing various conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain, migraines, anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. It’s also used to support mental clarity, energy levels, and immune health.
Reina follows a patient-centered approach, taking time to understand each individual’s health history, lifestyle, and wellness goals to craft a customized treatment plan. Every session is delivered in a calming, supportive environment to ensure comfort and safety.
Acupuncture addresses specific symptoms and promotes long-term wellness by balancing the body and preventing future health concerns. Each session may include guidance on diet, lifestyle changes, and relaxation practices to further support your journey to health.
Whether you’re new to acupuncture or a regular recipient of this therapy, Reina provides clear explanations at every step. Her goal is to ensure your comfort, answer any questions, and work with you to achieve sustainable health improvements.
Blending ancient wisdom with modern insights, Reina’s acupuncture services are safe, gentle, and effective. Dedicated to ongoing education, Reina ensures the highest level of care. We empower our patients to take an active role in their health journey, guiding them toward sustainable and meaningful improvements in well-being.
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (Qi) and restore balance. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues, by addressing imbalances within the body’s energy system.
Cupping therapy involves placing heated or suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect. This helps to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote healing by drawing blood to the area, improving nutrient flow and encouraging detoxification.
Gua Sha is a traditional healing practice where a smooth-edged tool is used to scrape the skin. This technique helps to release muscle tension, promote blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve the flow of Qi, supporting the body’s natural healing processes and boosting immunity.
Tui Na is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that uses hand techniques like kneading, rolling, and pressing to stimulate the body’s energy flow (Qi). It is effective for treating musculoskeletal conditions, improving circulation, reducing pain, and helping to restore balance to the body.
