Acupuncture

An ancient healing technique that uses thin needles (the width of a hair follicle) to change the flow of Qi of the human body. Your visit will comprise of an in-depth analysis of your current symptoms and ailments as well as your health history. Upon further visual inspection, Dr. Xu will determine the appropriate acupuncture treatment for the ailment.

 

Chinese Herbs

Another age-old healing method that accounts for most of the treatments in Tradition Chinese medicine. Sometimes dozens of dried herbs are combined into a single remedy to cure sickness and ailments. These herbs are prescribed in powder form by the bottle and will require the patient to consume them daily with water.

 

Cupping

A form of therapy that involves using a suction cup directly on the skin. Cupping is applied in order to manipulate or amplify blood flow in order to expedite healing of areas that are related to the cupping. The suction phenomenon is created using heat (a lighter) to remove the oxygen under the cup. Cupping will often leave large spots created from blood rushing to the surface of the skin up to several weeks after therapy. This is a normal occurance and the spots will disappear after some time.

 

Acupressure

Another form of therapy based on Meridian Qi practices. This technique uses acupressure points or acu-points to alleviate stress in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Further, acupressure points affect Qi flow and can be beneficial to certain organs in the body. This form of therapy is often chosen by patients who oppose needle treatment.

Testimonials

 

“You will receive excellent care from Ming!  My hobby is Parkour which involves jumping and vaults.  3-4 sessions with Ming will heal a twisted ankle or bruised shin.  Ming learned in Shangai and is an expert in acupuncture and herbs.  Amazing results!  I highly recommend Ming!!”

Bill Nadal

“I am glad I found Ming.  She really helps me reduce my pre-menopause syndromes dramatically.  She understands the agony of menopause and the method of treating it.  I had excessive menstrual bleeding before treatment.  After three months of intensive treament my symptom is gone.  I also notice I sleep much better and I don't feel dizziness when I awake.  I am still seeing Ming because I feel under her care my journey through menopause is less streesful and difficult.  I would definitely recommend Ming.”
