Step 2. Course of Treatment
Our specialty is neuro-hormonal modulation and circulatory improvements through the safe prescription of effective, customized Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), acupuncture, infrared therapy, tissue-specific microcurrents, and more. The type of therapies we’ll recommend for you depends on the severity of your symptoms and your body’s response to treatment. If you’re out of state, many therapies can be self-administered.
Our therapies are painless and quick! Expect to be in-and-out of our office in 40 minutes or less. Treatments are repeated 2-4 times per week. Herbs are taken 2x/day until symptoms resolve.
