Acupuncture is a whole healing system that has been used for thousands of years to help bring our bodies into energetic balance, and in turn, promote healing and optimal functioning. Acupuncture is based on a system of energetic channels that run through the body like rivers, and when the energy or “qi” is flowing smoothly, then the body is considered to be in a balanced and healthy state.

As a trained and Registered Acupuncturist, your practitioner will select a specific pattern of points to open these channels, promote healing, and treat the root causes of what may be creating a variety of symptoms for the client. That is the beautiful thing about this medicine, we do not focus on just one symptom at a time, rather we want to look at the whole picture to try and treat what is at the root of causing all of these different symptoms to arise.

Additionally, treatments can include other modalities that will also support the body’s healing including cupping, gua sha, or moxibustion. 

Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of patterns including stress, anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum care, hormonal support, pain, digestive concerns, difficulties sleeping, fertility concerns and much much more. 

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that complements the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This method has been used for centuries to promote the body's natural healing processes and restore energetic balance. Cupping involves the application of glass or silicone cups to the skin, creating a gentle suction that lifts and stimulates the tissue beneath.

The underlying philosophy of cupping is based on the concept of Qi, the vital energy that flows through the body's energetic channels. By enhancing the flow of Qi, cupping helps to remove blockages, promote circulation, and alleviate a range of physical and emotional ailments. It’s like giving your body a refreshing tune-up, helping to release toxins, relieve muscle tension, and encourage the natural healing mechanisms of the body.

At Sanbao Acupuncture, we incorporate cupping into individualized treatment plans to address the root causes of various health issues. Whether you're experiencing chronic pain, stress, fatigue, or digestive problems, cupping can provide effective relief and support your overall well-being. Unlike treatments that focus on isolated symptoms, cupping works holistically, targeting the underlying imbalances that lead to a spectrum of symptoms.

Cupping therapy is often combined with other TCM modalities like acupuncture, gua sha, or moxibustion, enhancing its therapeutic effects. It can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, respiratory issues, and even emotional stress. Discover how this time-honored technique can rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit by addressing the fundamental imbalances and promoting a balanced, healthy state of being.

Moxibustion is a traditional healing practice rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This therapy involves burning moxa, a type of dried mugwort herb, near specific acupuncture points on the body to stimulate healing and balance the flow of Qi, the body's vital energy.

By gently warming the skin and underlying tissues, moxibustion enhances blood circulation, promotes the smooth flow of energy through the meridians, and supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. This technique is particularly effective in addressing issues such as chronic pain, digestive disorders, and cold or stagnant conditions.

At Sanbao Acupuncture, we use moxibustion as part of a comprehensive treatment approach to target the root causes of various health concerns. Whether used alone or in combination with acupuncture, moxibustion helps to restore balance, alleviate discomfort, and foster a state of overall wellness. Experience the nurturing warmth of moxibustion and discover how it can invigorate your body and enhance your health naturally.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the food we eat and the way we live profoundly influence our health and well-being. TCM dietary and lifestyle advice is designed to harmonize our internal balance by aligning our choices with natural principles.

According to TCM, different foods have distinct energetic properties that affect our body's Qi, or life force, and can either enhance or disrupt our natural equilibrium. By selecting foods that complement our individual constitution and current health status, we can foster better digestion, boost immunity, and promote overall vitality. This approach goes beyond mere nutrition, integrating seasonal and environmental factors to create a personalized diet that supports holistic health.

Lifestyle advice in TCM extends this principle into daily habits, emphasizing practices such as regular sleep patterns, moderate exercise, and stress management techniques. By aligning our lifestyle with natural rhythms and maintaining balanced routines, we can enhance our body's resilience and capacity for self-healing.

At Sanbao Acupuncture, we provide tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance to address your unique needs, helping you cultivate a harmonious balance in your body and life. Through personalized recommendations, we empower you to make mindful choices that support your health journey, optimize energy, and promote lasting wellness. Embrace the wisdom of TCM dietary and lifestyle practices to nourish your body, mind, and spirit from within.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a centuries-old practice that safely combats aging effects on the skin without surgery or injections. It boosts collagen, tones muscles, enhances circulation, and avoids risks like scars or infections. This method not only improves appearance but also rebalances energy flow in the body, enhancing overall health. As facial muscles lose tone with age, acupuncture stimulates them to restore a youthful look. Thin needles placed in the ear and face promote relaxation and trigger collagen production through micro-trauma in wrinkles, enhancing well-being and rejuvenation.

Chinese therapeutic cupping has been used for thousands of years to address asthma, fever, pain, TMJ, sinus congestion, and more. Facial cupping enhances appearance as a standalone treatment or alongside acupuncture for rejuvenation. Benefits include improved circulation, nutrient absorption, reduced puffiness, and increased blood flow for a youthful look. Specially designed small cups are used on the face. After applying lotion, a cup may be placed over a wrinkle or moved along the face and neck to drain lymphatic fluid. This treatment helps bring collagen to the surface, reduces puffiness and dark circles, diminishes lines, and relieves TMJ and sinus pressure. Patients often feel relaxed with a deep warmth and tingling sensation post-treatment. A mineral mask follows the session, boosting effectiveness through increased blood flow. Facial rejuvenation cupping is painless and suitable for sensitive skin conditions like rosacea and melasma.

Facial Gua Sha uses smooth jade tools to enhance skin health, reduce wrinkles, and boost blood circulation. It treats conditions like acne, rosacea, and dark circles and is part of an acupuncture facial rejuvenation program targeting sagging and puffiness. This technique detoxifies the face by improving blood flow, nourishing the skin, and massaging acupuncture points that support organ health. Gentle massaging addresses deep lines, relaxing muscles for overall wellbeing. Facial Cupping and Gua Sha can be provided as part of a complete treatment or standalone sessions.
