Treatment modalities

As with any medical practice, treatment is determined by the medical understanding of what the patient needs and what is the most practical strategy for helping that patient to heal. At Bock Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine we are committed to finding the best treatment strategy for each patient. Treatment starts with helping the patient understand their condition and what traditional medicine says about the situation.

Treatment modalities may include:

• Diagnosis and Lifestyle Modifications ("what can the patient do to help themselves")
• Acupuncture / Acupressure
• Chinese Herbal Medicine (internal herbs, plasters, liniments)
• Asian Bodywork Therapies (tui na, kiatsu, gua sha, cupping, plum blossom)
• Chinese Medical Food Therapy (using common foods and spices as medicine)
• Moxibustion (medicinal application of heat)
• Ear beads / Auricular acupuncture
• Breathing and Meditative practices (classes)
