At Autumn Dream Clinic, we practice Traditional Chinese Medicine in its full spectrum. We have many tools in our tool box, all included in your sessions to best treat your specific conditions.

It increases cell metabolism, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular re-education and rehabilitation.
Chinese Herbal Medicine

Do you know the herbal formulas we prescribe in our clinic have been used for over 2000 years? Chinese herbal medicine is a system that relies on combining single herbs in a harmonious and synergistic way to create herbal formulations. We focuses on treating the underlying causes of diseases. The strength of it is evidenced by the fact that formulas in use thousands of years ago are still relevant and effective today.
Dry Needling/Prolo Acupuncture

Dry needling is a therapy that effectively treats myofascial pain syndrome, which affects about 44 million Americans, and accounts for 85-95% of the cases in a pain clinic. Dry needling works to deactivate tight, ropey, tender points in muscle tissue called trigger points, the major cause of myofascial pain. Prolo-Acupuncture is used to re-stabilization of joints that have become hyper-mobile from acute trauma or repetitive strains. Strengthening of tendon and ligament attachments to underlying bones.
Fire Cupping/Gua Sha

Cupping and Gua Sha are ancient folk remedies to treat acute injury and chronic pain, often in conjunction with acupuncture. Cupping and Guasha reduce pathologic tissues such as adhesions, trigger points, and areas of blood stagnation. Cupping and Guasha can also increase local vascular perfusion and lymphatic drainage; increase muscle range of motion, flexibility, length and strength; decrease pain and inflammation; regular immune system and sympathetic nervous system.
Koshiishi Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy that uses the gentle heat of burning mugwort, called moxa, near specific acupuncture points to warm the body, support circulation, and complement acupuncture treatment. It is often used to help with pain, stiffness, digestive discomfort, menstrual concerns, fatigue, and certain women’s health needs, and it can be a soothing addition to a personalized treatment plan.
Functional TCM Nutrition

Functional TCM nutrition engages in lifestyle modifications and dietary advice. We focus on food as medicine by using the energetic actions and therapeutic properties of individual foods in addressing clinical applications of TCM nutrition within the diagnostic framework of zangfu syndromes. We apply functional application of foods and nutraceuticals in a clinical setting.
