Pain Relief with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
​
At Basic Balance, we view Chinese Medicine as a different language for understanding health and healing. In Chinese Medicine, pain occurs when the substances that flow through the body’s pathways (meridians) become blocked. Our treatments—using acupuncture, potentially in combination with, guasha, cupping, infrared heat, Red Light Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy, and/or electrical stimulation—help remove these blockages to restore balance and promote healing.
​
By improving circulation in the affected areas, we help your body naturally reduce inflammation and release pain-relieving compounds like enkephalins. This speeds up recovery and supports long-term healing.
​
We commonly treat conditions such as back pain, hip pain, neck and shoulder pain, migraines, menstrual cramps, and fibromyalgia.

Understanding the Root Causes of Insomnia, Low Energy, and More
​
At Basic Balance, we focus on identifying the root causes of your health concerns—whether it's insomnia, a weakened immune system, allergies, or low energy levels. During your appointment, an acupuncturist may assess your pulse, observe your tongue, and ask you detailed questions. This allows them to diagnose your condition and tailor the treatment specifically for you.
Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, are often used to rebalance these patterns and help your body restore its natural ability to heal.

Balancing Yin and Yang for Women's Health at Basic Balance Acupuncture
​
In Chinese Medicine, we focus on balancing Yin and Yang to promote overall health and fertility. Yin is a nourishing, calming substance that can be depleted by aging, overwork, and lack of rest. Many hormonal issues, such as hot flashes and night sweats, are often caused by a deficiency in Yin. To address these, we focus on replenishing Yin and strengthening the related organ systems while eliminating "empty heat" from the body.
​
Fertility concerns can also stem from Yin deficiency or stagnation—when energy pathways aren’t flowing smoothly. These imbalances may contribute to difficulties with conception. PMS, irritability, depression, or menstrual cramping can also be signs of stagnation. We aim to restore energy flow and address these blockages to optimize reproductive health.
​
We use a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, and nutritional recommendations to support fertility and treat these conditions.

Emotional Health and Healing with Chinese Medicine
​
Emotions like sadness, anger, fear, and worry are a natural part of being human when they are allowed to flow through the body. However, when emotional energy becomes blocked—often due to disruptions in the body's energetic pathways—these emotions can become stuck, leading to long-term health issues.
​
Chinese Medicine addresses these emotional blockages by targeting the corresponding organ systems. For example:
-
Anger/Irritability: Liver/Gallbladder
-
Grief: Lung/Large Intestine
-
Fear: Kidney/Bladder
-
Anxiety/Mania: Heart/Small Intestine
-
Worry/Overthinking: Spleen/Stomach
​
Acupuncture helps to release these blocked emotions, restoring balance and promoting emotional well-being. Moxibustion strengthens the affected organ systems to address the root cause of emotional imbalances, while guasha is used to release trauma stored in the body. We also provide lifestyle recommendations to support emotional health.

Acupuncture and Preventative Health
​
Acupuncture helps your body heal by putting it in the best possible position for recovery.
​
In Chinese Medicine, we use the pulse and tongue to identify imbalances before they show up as symptoms. This allows us to treat conditions preventatively and maintain your health at its peak.
​
Preventative care not only helps you feel your best and reach your full potential, but it also saves you time and money in the long run.
