Acupuncture
Acupuncture is used to regulate and restore the balance of the body in order to assist and accelerate the healing process. It is based on traditional Chinese theories; the flow of qi (energy) and blood through meridians or pathways that cover the body, somewhat like nerves and blood vessels. According to this theory, when one or more of these pathways is blocked, illness pursues… or when there is an imbalance of energy, illness follows.
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective in the treatment of many health conditions. The Chinese have recorded these points over a period of two thousand years. In recent times, many scientific studies have established the validity of acupuncture. The National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledge that acupuncture treatment can effectively treat a wide array of acute and chronic conditions. Furthermore, acupuncture is known to provide effective healthcare that results in a healthier well being.

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage incorporates a variety of advanced modalities that enhance the body’s natural restorative functioning. Light to firm touch is used to release tension, relax muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, and impart a sense of calm. Therapeutic massage can be used as a collaborative, supportive addition to conventional medical treatment of illness and injury, alleviating pain and stress, aiding soft tissue healing, and revitalizing the body. Also, regular massage can enhance health, providing relaxation, release of muscle tightness, relief from anxiety and tensions, and balancing aspects of body/mind/spirit.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Perfect for Tech-Neck, tight shoulders, overworked forearms/wrists, aching low back, and tight quads/hamstrings. Please come in comfortable clothing, or be prepared to change into some for your appointment..
Cupping
Cupping is a method of creating a vacuum on the patient's skin to dispel stagnation (stagnant blood and lymph), thereby improving qi flow, in order to treat acute and chronic and acute pain, respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis, etc.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a systems-based approach using modern biomedicine. Lab tests are used to find and address disturbances in the function of multiple systems, including hormone, digestive, detox, and metabolic systems.
Reiki
Reiki is an energy medicine that provides a sense of well-being and is helpful for mental clarity, anxiety, and stress. Reiki healing energy is transferred through gentle contact with the hands. Sessions begin with a segment of grounding, allowing the patient to be more present. As the session unfolds more detailed attention is given to the patient’s primary goals.

Online Herbal Formula Consultation and Prescription
Welcome to the herbal formula clinic at Retreat Acupuncture Online. Our virtual office utilizes a safe telehealth portal platform. Despite telehealth's growing popularity prior to the recent pandemic, it has since become commonplace due to its convenience. The procedure is straightforward: following the scheduling of an appointment, medical history, intake, and consultation forms are sent via email to be completed electronically and are then saved in a secure patient file. Next, a consultation meeting is held online via phone or video at the scheduled time, after which a prescription is created and sent to the patient to be taken over a regimented treatment period. After that, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled to observe, evaluate, and formulate to continue the course of treatment.
