AcupunctureAcupuncture (zhenjiu in Chinese) is a traditional form of needle therapy that is centuries old. In recent years, it has gained increasing popularity in the West as a successful means of alternative treatment for chronic pain and other ailments.
Acupuncture employs thin, solid needles, which are inserted into various points in the body. Acupuncture offers a time-tested, reliable treatment for chronic pain, illness and many other ailments that are not always effectively treatable through Western medicine.

About Us
Eunha ChoChinese Medicine is a passion for me. Because of my Asian background, I could grasp the concept of Chinese medicine quickly and precisely. Based on that knowledge, I have seen numerous patients and helped them in clinic. People who didn’t believe in acupuncture or were afraid of needles came to me and got good results and appreciated my gentle needling technique. Because of the results they believed in acupuncture and referred their friends and family to me.
In my culture, if we become sick, we seek oriental medicine because it is such a positive way of dealing with health issues compared to the drugs and surgeries of western medicine. I have been trained in the Dr. Shen/Hammer Pulse systems and contemporary diagnosis. In this training I can make a more precise diagnosis and approach to a better treatment for my patients. Also my other specialty is ear (auricular) diagnosis. Auricular medicine can examine the physical conditions of a person in a very simple, cheap, but precise way. By checking different auricular points, one can get information about the health condition of a person. Moreover, it can also give the disease history and potential diseases of the future, such as diabetes. I use many different treatment techniques in addition to acupuncture, such as cupping, moxa, guasha, tuina, and others. Medicinal Chinese herbs are prescribed as part of the treatment for most ailments. |

Pulse DiagnosisChinese pulse diagnosis is among the most accurate ways to diagnosis ill health. Using a person's pulse, we can detect even the most subtle signs of distress in a person's body. Using the flow of blood from the wrist's radial artery, a roadmap to a patient's health conditions is easily discernible. Many common health concerns can be detected through pulse diagnosis.
|
|
TDP (Heat) TherapySimilar to Moxibustion, TDP (Heat) therapy uses infrared heat to increase the body's microcirculation and promote increased fascia. This begins to accelerate the body's natural healing process. Using the heat lamp at various points on the body can greatly reduce chronic pain and other ailments and afflictions for patients.
|
|
Cupping TherapyCupping therapy has also been practiced for thousands of years. This alternative form of medicine utilizes localized suction on various parts of the body through the use of "cups". The suction is created using heat or mechanical devices. The suction created mobilizes blood flow in order to promote greater healing in the body.
|
|
GuashaIn this holistic treatment, light bruises are created by scraping the skin in various points. The practice of Guasha, which means "to catch wind", allows unhealthy elements from certain areas to be released. It also stimulates better blood flow throughout the body. Using a smooth stone or edge, practitioners can safely stimulate the skin through light pressure.
|
|
MoxibustionMoxibustion utilizes the herb moxa, which is made from dried mugwort. Accompanied by heat, the moxa helps circulation and assists blood and qi to flow more smoothly. Moxibustion can increase energy, treat chronic pain and is also beneficial in issues of excess and deficiency issues within the body. It greatly enhances blood flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acupuncture
1. What is the difference between laser acupuncture and traditional acupuncture?
Laser acupuncture is a new form of acupuncture that allows for the use of non-invasive acupuncture. Since a cold laser is used for the pressure point therapy, there is no need to use needles. In traditional acupuncture, needles are placed in various pressure points around the body. With laser acupuncture, we can use lasers instead to reach these pressure points. This form of acupuncture is an especially helpful modality for treating children and those with an aversion to needles.
