What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a time-honored therapy that involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore internal harmony. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced worldwide and supported by a growing body of research for its effectiveness in managing a wide range of conditions.

It works by promoting the flow of Qi (vital energy) through pathways in the body, supporting balance between body systems and enhancing your natural capacity to heal.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Natural facial rejuvenation — no injectables, no downtime.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a holistic and non-invasive approach to improving the appearance of your skin and slowing signs of aging. This treatment uses fine facial and body needles to:

  • Improve circulation and lymphatic flow

  • Stimulate collagen and elastin production

  • Soften fine lines and wrinkles

  • Lift and tone facial muscles

  • Promote a healthy, radiant glow from within

Our practitioner, Allen Phillips, has trained with internationally renowned cosmetic acupuncture experts and blends ancient techniques with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and internal wellness. These sessions also include body points to address the root causes of aging — such as stress, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalance — for lasting, whole-body beauty.

What We Treat

Our acupuncture treatments are effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic and acute pain (shoulders, neck, back, joints, etc.)

  • Headaches and migraines

TCM: Cupping, Moxibustion, and More

We incorporate a wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to enhance your healing:

Cupping Therapy

Gentle suction cups are applied to the skin to release tight muscles, promote detoxification, and increase circulation. Excellent for relieving back, shoulder, and neck pain, and for athletes or those with chronic tension.

Moxibustion

A warming technique using dried mugwort (moxa) to invigorate Qi, boost immunity, and support digestion or reproductive health. Especially beneficial during cold weather or for conditions associated with fatigue and weakness.

Guasha & Tui Na

  • Guasha: A scraping technique used to relieve muscle tightness and reduce inflammation.

  • Tui Na: Chinese remedial massage that supports musculoskeletal alignment and circulation.
