Acupuncture
Acupuncture relieves pain and helps regulate and balance the body's various systems., Acupuncture can be used to strengthen and supports the immune system,, restore hormonal balance, regulate emotions , improve digestive and organ function, and alleviate pain, to name just a few applications. Acupuncture balances and integrates the functions of the organs so they work together harmoniously rather than in isolation.

Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs work synergistically to energetically reprogram and rebalance the body’s systems and functions. Chinese herbs have been used safely as medicinal therapy in Eastern medicine for over 2,000 years.
Cupping
Cupping promotes increased circulation and draws stagnant fluids to the surface of the skin; away from the injury. It also creates space for the muscles and body's tissues to repair themselves with healthy circulation and nutrients.
Qigong
​Qigong (can also be spelled Ch’i Kung) – pronounced “chee – gong” is a Chinese healing and energy medicine system. It includes breathing techniques, gentle yoga-like movements and meditation to cleanse, strengthen and circulate “qi” – or “chi” energy throughout the body.
Alan Suhr implements qigong principles and methods into his acupuncture treatments. He also gives his patients qigong exercises specific to their condition to help them continue with the healing process outside of the clinic.
Moxa
Moxabustion or moxa, uses a Chinese herb called mugwort. It is heated and used with acupuncture needles to provide treatment. Traditionally the mugwort was dried and burned over points on the body. This method is still used, however similar effects may be obtained by applying the essential oils derived from the mugwort plant and heating the area with a heat lamp.
Moxa sticks can be used on their own to stimulate an acupuncture point or can be used on a point where an acupuncture needle has been inserted. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi at the treatment points. Moxa can be used to treat various ailments that vary from certain types of arthritis and joint pain to digestive disorders.
