Acupuncture
The evidence of Tui Na (Chinese medicinal massage) dated back to around 2700 BC, making it the forerunner of all other forms of massage and body work that exist today – from shiatsu to osteopathy. The words ‘Tui Na’ translate into “push-grasp” in Chinese. Physically, it is a series of pressing, tapping, and kneading with palms, fingertips, knuckles or implements that help the body to remove blockages along the body and stimulate the blood flow to promote healing – similar to principles of acupuncture and cupping. Tui Na’s massage-like techniques range from light stroking to deep-tissue work.

Other than improving blood flow and speeding up healing process, Tui Na also helps to break down scar tissues, relax muscles and tendons, and activate lymphatic system. It is commonly used to treat many disorders such as stiff neck, frozen shoulder, sore back, sciatica, diarrhea, constipation, low energy, headache, etc.

Acupressure is a part of Tui Na, which involves the use of the fingers to press specific acupoints on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal itself. Pressing on these points relieves muscle tension, which promotes the circulation of blood and lymph to aid in the healing process. Because it is gentle, safe, and effective, acupressure is commonly used to treat children in cases of digestive problems, cough, common cold, etc.

Review
What People Are Saying

I truly enjoy Shirley and Ed at the Acupuncture Center. They take the time to listen and I never feel rushed. They are atentative to listening to your body's imbalances and listening to feedback on follow-up visits.

Shirley had helped me so much in the past several months. It has been great to find someone who will find the root of the problem and not just put a bandaid on it.

Tara L. on Google

Shirley and Edward have shown care and patience the first time I saw them. Never have I seen people who are so meticulous with such detail!

Theo W. on Yelp

My treatment has been with Shirley. She is a very caring professional and cares about all aspects of your life, not just the reason you came in. I have had nutritional counseling, Chinese herbs, and acupuncture with her, and I highly recommend her.

Kate H. on Yelp

My first impression was a peaceful and clean waiting area, the wait was, well there was NO wait really. Ed was awesome attentive and patient while I rambled on with my "issues". He spent a great deal of time evaluating my painful ankle, and explaining my treatment plan as well as the payment and insurance process.
