Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbology is one of the oldest and most sophisticated systems of natural medicine, with a documented history of use for over 2,000 years. Our clinic offers a comprehensive and evidence-informed approach to herbology, designed to support your health through safe, personalized treatment plans.

Each patient begins with a detailed consultation, including an in-depth review of symptoms, medical history, and overall constitution. This information guides the creation of a customized herbal prescription designed to address both the root cause and the presenting symptoms of imbalance.

We use professional-grade herbal products that are rigorously tested for purity, potency, and safety, including screening for heavy metals, pesticides, and contaminants. Your prescription may be provided as teas, capsules, granules, or tinctures, based on what is most effective and convenient for you.

Our practitioners are trained to collaborate with your existing healthcare providers. We consider your current medications and treatments to avoid interactions and ensure a safe, coordinated approach to your care.

Herbal prescriptions are adjusted as your condition improves, ensuring optimal effectiveness and minimizing side effects. Follow-up visits allow us to track your progress and refine your treatment plan as needed.

This careful, individualized approach makes TCM herbology a powerful complement to conventional medicine and an effective tool for supporting long-term health and resilience.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique used to release restrictions in the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Within a chiropractic care setting, CST complements spinal adjustments by supporting the nervous system, enhancing structural alignment, and promoting whole-body balance. It is particularly effective for patients experiencing chronic pain, tension headaches, TMJ dysfunction, postural imbalances, or nervous system dysregulation. The therapy uses light touch to detect and correct subtle patterns of tension, making it a valuable adjunct to traditional chiropractic treatments for both acute and chronic conditions.

What is Integrated Stretch Therapy?
Integrated Stretch Therapy (IST) is a therapeutic approach that combines various stretching techniques to improve flexibility, mobility, and neuromuscular function. It is often used by our chiropractors to address muscle imbalances, reduce pain, enhance performance, and aid in injury prevention or recovery.

Integrated Stretch Therapy is a multifaceted manual therapy that incorporates elements of:
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) – involves contracting and relaxing muscles to increase range of motion.
- Myofascial Release – targets the fascia (connective tissue) to reduce tension and improve tissue mobility.
- Dynamic and Static Stretching – both movement-based and held positions to lengthen muscles.
- Neuromuscular Re-education – helps retrain the nervous system for improved muscle coordination and control.

The therapy is often customized to the individual’s needs, addressing specific muscular restrictions or postural imbalances. Our chiropractors may work with a patient on a table or mat, guiding limbs through controlled motions while providing resistance or support.

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “spiritual energy”. It is a method of energy healing that is usually done by placing the hands in a series of positions on or slightly above the physical body. The practitioner may use Reiki tools (stones, symbols, visualization, essential oils or sound) to help balance the frequency of the body. Reiki will promote healing by activating the relaxation response, aligning the chakras and helping the body to restore balance on all levels of being- including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It works by clearing away negative energy and sealing in positive energy. Reiki has been scientifically proven to decrease pain levels, speed healing and relax the body and mind. Practitioners focus directly on the root ailment/condition, instead of just masking or relieving symptoms.

Some of the benefits of Reiki are as follows:
- Dissolves energy blocks and promotes natural balance between mind, body and spirit
- Increases energy levels
- Creates deep relaxation and helps the body release stress and tension
- Clears the mind and improves focus
- Accelerates the body’s self-healing ability
- Aids in better sleep
- Helps reduce blood pressure
- Helps relieve pain
- Assists the body in cleansing itself from toxins
- Supports the immune system
- Helps spiritual growth and emotional cleansing
- Opens and clears the 7 Chakra System
- Promotes creativity, self-expression, and love
- Compliments and supports other medical treatment
