Services

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has existed for over 2,000 years and treats a wide range of disorders and diseases by correcting imbalances in the body, restoring health, and preventing diseases. TCM is a complete medical system recognized by the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health. We create a highly individualized Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment plan for you which takes into account your personal health history, subjective experiences, and objective signs (pulse and tongue). A treatment may include:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture consists of inserting hair thin, sterile, and stainless-steel needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points. The acupuncture points are located on channels that are interconnected throughout your body. Each channel and its paired organ have certain TCM physiologic functions which can lead to disease when compromised. Stimulating specific acupuncture points can correct physiologic dysfunctions which results in a healing response. Acupuncture also promotes relaxation and a sense of wellbeing through the release of endorphins and other beneficial neurotransmitters.

Acupuncture for Fertility

Highly individualized fertility and IUI/IVF support treatments take into account your unique situation. Vida Acupuncture’s approach includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxa, and nutritional & lifestyle counseling to boost fertility, and to achieve and sustain a successful pregnancy. The focus will be on opening the energetic channels, regulating the flow of energy and blood to the internal organs, and stimulating the yang or warming aspect of the body with the goal of improving hormonal balance, egg quality, and uterine lining.

Pregnancy Wellness

Acupuncture can also offer support throughout the different stages of pregnancy by harmonizing the body and creating proper blood flow to the uterus.
1st Trimester: morning sickness, threatened miscarriage, anxiety

Herbal Medicine

TCM herbal formula prescriptions perform specific actions and treat the particular needs of each patient. The herbal formula (a combination of different herbs) treats the root cause of the disease. Chinese herbal formulas are mostly administered as capsules, pills, or as granules.

Cupping

Cupping is an effective and safe technique used to relieve pain. It consists of selectively placing plastic or glass cups on acupuncture points that are suctioned to the skin. You will feel a localized pressure that goes away when the cups are removed. Cupping leaves marks on the skin that vary in color from pink to dark purple that go away within a few days to a couple of weeks. Cupping causes tissues to release toxins, stimulates the lymphatic system, clears colon blockages, and activates and clears arteries, veins and capillaries. Cupping is also used for chronic or acute pain, stress, respiratory disorders, and the common cold.

Infrared Mineral Lamp Therapy

Infrared mineral lamp therapy is a heat lamp used to treat pain and inflammation in various parts of the body.

Benefits include:
Increased micro-circulation and pain relief
Reduced inflammation

Craniosacral Therapy

A form of gentle body-work that grew out cranial osteopathy and osteopathic medicine. Through dynamic stillness, this gentle body-work allows you to sense the potency of the life force moving through you, harmonizes your nervous system, and moves you toward a sense of integrated wholeness.

Gentle Detox Package

A detox of the body prevents diseases and gives the body much-needed rest. Ideally, the body detoxes through its liver, lymph, and kidney systems. However, with our busy lifestyles and less-than-healthy eating habits, it is necessary to support this process. Includes 3 acupuncture sessions focused on helping your body detox, 3 supplements to cleanse the blood, move stool, and remove excess fluids. This package also includes daily nutritional menus to guide your detox..
