Our Services

We provide acupuncture and massage therapy to promote the body's remarkable self-healing abilities. Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and massage are safe and effective ways to address various health concerns. Our practitioners are dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal health through personalized treatment plans.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves inserting very thin, sterile, disposable needles into certain designated points along the body's meridians to disperse blockages, mobilize immune response, regulate the organs, and restore the delicate balance of the body. Modern studies suggest that acupuncture works by activating a natural pain-suppression system in the brain, by increasing blood flow to vital organs, and by initiating innate immune responses within the body.

Massage Therapy

Massage, one of the earliest therapies practiced by mankind, has been used for pain relief, improved sense of well-being, and physical appearance for thousands of years. At Jade Clinic, you will experience the benefits of massage therapy in an individually designed session to address your preferences and needs. Our massage therapist is trained and certified in various techniques to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.
