Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles at specific points to restore energy flow and treat pain or imbalances. Our Virginia-certified practitioners address conditions like migraines, arthritis, and stress. Patients often experience immediate relaxation and long-term symptom reduction through this ancient practice.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas from 2,000-year-old traditions complement treatments. These natural remedies address internal imbalances and chronic conditions. Our practitioners combine modern research with traditional knowledge to create safe, effective formulations tailored to individual health needs.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na combines joint mobilization and tissue manipulation to relieve pain and improve circulation. This therapy particularly benefits back, neck, and sports injuries. Sessions often integrate with acupuncture for enhanced recovery from musculoskeletal conditions.
Community Acupuncture
Community Acupuncture offers sliding-scale treatments in group settings. This accessible model serves diverse economic backgrounds through POCA-recommended pricing ($15-$40). It maintains quality care while expanding access to traditional medicine for Floyd County residents.
