Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the bodys natural healing by balancing energy flow through specific points. Fine needles target pain, inflammation, and systemic imbalances. This practice integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern techniques for conditions like chronic pain, stress, and fertility support. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced discomfort, and enhanced well-being through personalized sessions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping alleviates pain and detoxifies tissues by creating suction on the skin. This draws out stagnation while promoting fresh blood flow. Effective for muscle tension, sports injuries, and respiratory issues, sessions leave temporary marks indicating toxin release. Patients report immediate relief from chronic conditions and accelerated recovery after just one session.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal blends address internal imbalances and support organ function. Formulas combine 5,000-year-old traditions with modern research to treat digestive issues, hormonal disorders, and immune deficiencies. All herbs are American-sourced, third-party tested, and vegetarian-friendly. Patients receive tailored prescriptions to complement acupuncture and lifestyle changes for lasting results.
Red Light Therapy
Red and near-infrared light penetrate tissues to reduce inflammation and boost cellular energy. FDA-approved devices target skin health, joint pain, and muscle recovery. Sessions improve circulation and stimulate collagen production without UV damage. Patients use this non-invasive therapy for chronic conditions like arthritis and post-injury rehabilitation.
Sound Therapy
Low-frequency sound waves relax the nervous system and ease chronic pain. Patients lie on a vibrating table while headphones deliver therapeutic music. This modality reduces anxiety, improves sleep quality, and enhances cognitive function. Research-backed benefits include decreased medication reliance for fibromyalgia and improved mobility for neurological conditions.

Dawn Potter has been my acupuncturist for two months now, and I have felt incredible results. I used to dread waking up each morning because of the chest pain I would experience due to my sleep apnea. However, Dawn has been working on my body, and I feel that I have more energy and no pain whatsoever. I have also lost approximately 30 pounds since seeing her weekly. Dawn Potter is kind, friendly, and professional with a wide array of Chinese medicinal supplements that will make you feel like you have the energy and strength to get through the day. I am so grateful for Dawn's treatments and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs them. Thanks again, Dawn!

Dawn was an absolute God send to me after my injury with three torn discs and severe burning pain in my right arm. I had exhausted traditional PT and my Dr was leaning toward spinal injections or a neck fusion surgery. In a last ditch effort, I came to Acupuncture to receive Dawns healing touch- Her kind and calm disposition helped me feel comfortable and safe for my first ever acupuncture treatments.
Slowly but surely my pain lessened and I'm so thrilled to report I did not have the surgery or any injections into my neck! I'm so grateful for Dawns ability to help me live pain free and stay pain free! She's the real deal in terms of a Chinese medicine provider.

I lost my sense of smell from the virus 6 months ago and they helped me regain it. It is slowly starting to come back. Thanks!
