Struggling with poor circulation, fatigue, or tension that won’t go away?

These points of energy are located along 14 meridians, or channels, that cover the entire body. Acupuncture helps boost energy, reduce pain, and support overall wellness.

What Is Traditional Chinese Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese acupuncture is based on the concept of stimulating specific points on the body to support balance and physical function. Treatments are tailored to each patient’s symptoms and health goals.
Acupuncture may be used to help manage:
Chronic and acute pain
Headaches and migraines
Sports-related injuries
Muscle tension
Stress-related symptoms
Sleep concerns
Our team strives to provide traditional Chinese acupuncture care that aligns with each patient’s overall wellness and rehabilitation needs.
Effective Treatment Without Side-effects
Acupuncture is among the most effective and best modalities for treating most types of pain without causing harmful side effects. Relief is often obtained with acupuncture when traditional medical therapy has failed. In most cases, the pain will resolve and not return unless there is a new aggravation.
Dr. Logan Hynes and Dr. Edmund Chin’s extensive training in acupuncture means there is a long and varied list of conditions that can be treated.
You can rely on us to offer cosmetic acupuncture, fertility acupuncture, acupuncture for pain (headaches, injuries, digestion), acupuncture for physical conditions (tendonitis, fibromyalgia, arthritis), and acupuncture for mental conditions, including depression and anxiety.
What Happens During an Acupuncture Session?
An acupuncture session generally begins with a discussion about current symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. This assessment helps guide the treatment approach.
During the session, patients may expect:
Placement of fine, single-use needles in targeted areas.
Short resting periods while needles remain in place.
A calm treatment environment designed to support relaxation.
Ongoing monitoring throughout the appointment.
