What we treat

Whole-person care, rooted in tradition

Nothing in the body works as an island. Each system depends on the others — if one falters, the whole body bears the consequences. Our integrated approach combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and bodywork to help you regain the trust of your body — addressing the root cause, not just the symptom.

Pain and Restoration

Precision techniques for lasting relief

Myofascial Restoration

Precise manual therapy that releases restricted fascia — the connective-tissue web surrounding muscles and joints. Restrictions here often hold the body in painful patterns long after the original injury. Dr. Hedy Chen works layer by layer to restore alignment, mobility, and circulation, so tissue can heal rather than compensate.

Trigger Point Release Needling

Needling aimed directly at the knotted bands of muscle that refer pain across the body. Releasing these points eases both the local knot and the wider pattern it feeds.

Myofascial Decompression Cupping

Cupping applied with clinical intent — lifting and decompressing restricted tissue to restore glide between muscle layers and improve blood flow where healing has stalled.

Neuromuscular Stretching

Assisted stretching that works with the nervous system rather than against it — releasing protective tension so joints and muscles can return to their full range.

Supportive Wellness

Gentle support around your care

Massage

Therapeutic massage that eases tension and calms the nervous system alongside clinical care.

Sound Bath

Immersive sound sessions that guide the body into deep rest and effortless meditation.

Essential Oils, When Appropriate

Therapeutic-grade oils, brought into a session only when they serve your treatment plan.
