Acupuncture is the practice of using thin, metallic needles to superficially puncture the skin. The needles are then gently manipulated by the practitioner's hands or with light electrical stimulation. Within the TCM system, acupuncture is understood to enhance or rebalance the flow of energy. It can increase overall energy levels, or "unblock" energy to reestablish proper circulation and restore health.
Where needles are placed and which treatment modalities are used is determined by which "pattern of disharmony" is noted by the practitioner. Studies have shown that acupuncture can cause the release of several naturally occurring substances in the body that can help reduce or eliminate pain, elevate the mood, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation and circulation.

Therapeutic massage is a type of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practice that is often used to treat muscle pain, injury, and stiffness. Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues to stimulate circulation, increase flexibility, decrease tension, decrease pain, and to increase a person’s health and well-being.
At Holistic Health Center, we provide personalized massages tailored to one's needs. Prior to a massage appointment, patients will indicate areas that need more focus or should be avoided as well as the pressure level. Throughout the massage, the therapist will be assessing areas on the body that need special attention and will adjust accordingly.

Chinese herbs are plant, animal or mineral substances used in specific combinations and dosages to treat disorders in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each herb has its own medicinal qualities which are enhanced or reduced when used with other herbs.
Chinese herbs can help by replacing bodily substances that are deficient or by removing substances that are in excess. They also help by moving stagnant energy or blood away from an injury site or to an area where these are lacking. This rebalancing act can help help fight pain, diseases, or prevent disease in some cases.
