Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art from China. We insert needles or simply touch at specific points along lines of physical energy known as ‘meridians’. The needles stimulate the flow of energy through the meridian, bringing blood, oxygen and immune factors to the muscles, organs and other tissues along the line. Acupuncture releases neuro-muscular trigger points, relieving tension and pain. It aligns the functioning of cardiovascular, digestive, lymphatic, and other body systems in harmony. It is a safe and very effective therapy.

Massage
We offer Trigger Point and Connective tissue massage work along with auxiliary muscular therapies such as cupping and gua-sha. These manual therapies break up scar tissue, improve body symmetry and function, and bring healing to areas of acute and chronic pain. All acupuncture sessions include a significant bodywork portion. Cranio-sacral therapy and internal organ massage bring deep relief to PTSD, traumatic brain injury, birth challenges, and internal pathologies of all kinds.

Herbal Medicine
Our apothecary is stocked with Organic, lab-tested, quality assured medicinal herbs. Each patient receives his or her individualized formula, specific not only to their ongoing pathology, but their personal constitution and ability to digest and utilize the medicines. Herbal therapy is a crucial, perhaps central element of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is used in conjunction with other treatments, or even as an affordable stand-alone therapy for long term patients unable to maintain a schedule of private appointments.

Functional Medicine
Using modern laboratory tests and scientific data, Functional Medicine creates a holistic life-style and natural remedy based approach to healing biomedical pathologies including diabetis, heart disease, gastro-esophageal reflux, metabolic syndrome, auto-immune disorders and many others. In partnership with internal-medicine primary care practitioners and specialists, we create a clear and achievable action plan for total health and life transformation. More data allows us to hone in on success strategies that optimize wellness. Greater wellness creates a more empowered quest for our destiny.

Nutrition Therapy
Patients thrive with day-to-day support in meal planning, and understandable, compassionate check-ins about their agreements and efforts in pursuit of health. Further, we offer the highest quality, organic meals and snacks for delivery and storage in your fridge and freezer. Backed by 17 years of experience as a personal chef, health coach, and Nutritional Therapist, Melissa Solar Greene nourishes lasting relationships for wellness and success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Acupuncture Hurt?:
We practice a very gentle, patient-centered approach to needling. Sensations of energy movement, activation, and a dull, soft ache most often give way to a total-body relaxation that makes patients feel refreshed and invigorated. Further, any needle that does cause discomfort can be removed at any time, as determined by the patient.
Can I afford Functional Medicine?
How does Acupuncture actually work?
A single and contiguous system connects all the muscles and organs of the body. Known as ‘Connective Tissue,’ this system transmits piezo-electric currents throughout the patient. By inserting needles at key points, we send signals for healing, immune function, and tissue-regeneration, down the paths of least resistance, otherwise known as meridians. With modern scientific proof and thousands of years of clinical success, acupuncture is a highly effective medical modality.
Will I receive massage?
Can I use Acupuncture and Herbs if I am already being treated by a doctor?
Yes. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a perfect augment therapy to Biomedical treatment. It also supports natural healing of root-issues that would otherwise be medicated or surgically treated. Further, it assists in symptom management and the balancing of pharmaceutical related side-effects.

TRAUMA GENESIS
In Functional Medicine, the nervous system is an important factor in the total health of a person. When the nervous system is functioning well, cortisol levels stay within the optimum range. This creates a series of down-stream effects that harmonize and regulate functions like immunity, heart rate, thyroid secretions, blood sugar regulation, and sex hormones.
