We Love What We Do

Safe and Absolutely No Side Effects

We treat a wide range of Neurological and Muscular conditions using Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, with stimulation to specific nerve or to soft tissue appropriately , or adding therapeutic body work to the strain or atrophic muscles, we can be a great compliment to your doctor’s treatment.

There are quite a few neurological disorders that can affect our daily life (or of our loved ones), of course, most of them can be easily taken care by your neurologist doctors through medication or surgical procedures.  Some of those conditions, however, when drugs or surgeries are not effective, or simply because the side effect of the medication is just too great to endure, under those circumstances, alternative approach such as acupuncture should be considered.

We are a clinic that is specially prepared and trained in treating neurological disorders.  We are experienced in treating the symptoms related to the central nerve system, peripheral nerve system and even promoting functions of the autonomic nerve systems.

Utilizing acupuncture needles to stimulate, excitation or suppression to nerve systems can be directed to targeted organs to treat many unique and difficult conditions such as swallowing difficulties, dysphagia, dysarthria, choking, gastroesophageal reflux and or articulation difficulties due to stroke and other cerebrovascular accidents, or conditions like demyelinated disease such as multiple sclerosis (MS).  Other conditions like neurogenic tinnitus (ringing in the ear), vertigo, urinary incontinence (neurogenic voiding dysfunction) for both women and men, or even Parkinson’s disease are commonly seen in our clinic.

We are also experienced in treating facial paralysis especially if the symptoms involve lesions of geniculate ganglion, petrosals, stapedius or chorda tympani nerves.  True sciatic irritation showing symptoms of common perineal impairment – foot drop, or conditions either a root-type sciatica or piriformis syndrome (a trunk-type).

In treating stroke related conditions, besides cerebral infarction, lacuna cerebral infarction, we also have safe and effective treatment for transient ischemic attack (TIA) and is considered a very good preventative measure of avoiding dementia and full blown stroke from developing too early, usually occurred in a year or two after a TIA.
