Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

TCM offers a whole-person framework that connects physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and everyday habits. Acupuncture is one part of that framework, alongside dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, and tui na bodywork.

New patients can book an appointment directly. If you prefer, choose an optional, free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Kao.

The TCM framework

TCM considers the mind, body, and spirit together. Your care may draw on acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, tui na, and traditional assessment practices.

Individualized acupuncture

Acupuncture uses fine needles at selected points within the TCM meridian framework. Point selection and the wider plan are shaped around your presentation and health history.

A broad care conversation

We can discuss musculoskeletal, digestive, emotional, respiratory, and gynecological concerns. These areas describe the scope of care, not a promise to diagnose or treat every listed condition.

What to expect from care

Care begins with a conversation about your history, current concerns, goals, and existing treatment. Your practitioner will explain possible approaches and invite questions. Complementary care is not a substitute for urgent, medical, or mental-health services when those are needed, and no individual medical advice is provided on this page.

For fertility, pregnancy, diagnostic, or ongoing medical concerns, share relevant information with your qualified medical clinicians so care can be coordinated appropriately.
