Could Chinese herbal medicine
support deeper healing for you?
We treat the underlying patterns affecting your health to support lasting, natural healing.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
A very important component within traditional Chinese medicine is herbal medicine. To treat you, first, a careful diagnostic assessment is made. From there, food and herb formulas are recommended for the patient’s current condition, as well as long term health patterns that underlie the current problem. We are interested in treating the “root” of your problem, as well as the “branch” or the symptoms that are bothering you at the time. We have a complete pharmacy in our clinic. For a given patient, one formula may be used for a while, then modified or changed as the patient’s condition changes. We can provide custom herb formulas or off the shelf formulas depending on the situation.
Professional oriental herbalists are trained in many acupuncture schools. This herbal style can be quite complex and difficult to master so we work diligently to make the best recommendations for your care. To that effect, please schedule a comprehensive herbal consultation to get personalized herbal assistance and allow 2 hours for your initial assessment and treatment plan.

We work with you to find the best combination for your unique condition. Here’s how our specialized combination of four powerful, time-tested, 100% natural therapies work to heal your back pain and remind your body how to live in health.
Gentle Acupuncture
Our specialty is gentle acupuncture. Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain.
Herbal Supplements
Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for back pain — herbal supplements can trigger great pain relief while working on strengthening the body to prevent further pain and degeneration. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of back pain and its causes.
Functional Nutritional Therapy
When your bones, muscles and cells are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, there’s far less opportunity for pain to set in.
Relaxation & Stress Reduction
When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to do repair at the deepest level. In this state, your muscles, bones, and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means a less inflammation, better circulation, more range of motion, a calmer mind, more energy and better mood.

- Pain relief
- Improved mobility

Transitional Care as Improvements Are Maintained
Once we see improvements that are maintaining over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.” We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address, or feel like your back is prone to more injury during a particular time or activity. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.
