Acupuncture
The practice of acupuncture is an ancient system of healthcare involving the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategically located points on your body. Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. It has also been increasingly used for overall wellness, including stress management and health maintenance. This therapy is now being accepted in many hospitals and will continue to grow.
electric stimulation (E-Stim)
Using the same principles and points as acupuncture, electric stimulation is when there is an added micro-current to the inserted needle. Tapping into the nervous system, research has shown that e-stim allows a greater output of endorphins from the nervous system. This will provide pain relief for a more extended period of time compared to acupuncture alone.

cupping Therapy
Special cups are placed on specific locations on the body, creating suction for a few minutes. This suction can be done with either an air vacuum pump or using fire. Cupping has been proven to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and overall well-being, as it is very similar to a deep-tissue massage. Although trendy now, it is not a new therapy. This dates back to ancient Egypt, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures.
Herbal Formula
Herbal formulas have been around for thousands of years. Each formula has also changed in the last thousand years. Changed in terms of quality, potency, and processing. Herbs are considered food in Chinese culture. There are over hundreds of different herbs in the Chinese pharmacopeia, and Dr. Shin is trained to understand each and every one of them. Herbal formulas are used as supplements to patient’s diet regimen according to their diagnosis. No single condition is treated with the same formula, each formula is specific to each patient’s presentation.
