Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner’s hands or with electrical stimulation. The history of acupuncture has its roots in the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health.

At KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic, we offer a wide range of Herbal Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remedies designed to promote natural healing and restore balance within the body. Our Herbal Medicine approach is rooted in centuries-old wisdom, combining plant-based ingredients to create personalized formulas tailored to each patient’s unique needs. These medicines are known for their gentle yet powerful effects, enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself without the harsh side effects often associated with synthetic drugs.

Electro Stimulation is a modern variation of traditional acupuncture that is offered at KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic. This technique combines the principles of acupuncture with electrical stimulation, enhancing the effects of traditional needle insertion. In Electroacupuncture, small electrodes are attached to the acupuncture needles after they have been inserted into the skin. A gentle electrical current is then passed through the needles, creating a pulsating sensation that helps stimulate the targeted areas more effectively than manual manipulation alone.

Far Infrared Treatment is a therapeutic approach offered at KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic that uses far infrared rays to deeply penetrate the body’s tissues, providing numerous health benefits. This non-invasive treatment involves using infrared heat, which reaches deeper into the body than conventional heat therapy, targeting muscles, joints, and even internal organs. The far infrared rays promote relaxation, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes.

Acupressure is a therapeutic technique provided by KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic that involves applying gentle but firm pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural self-healing abilities. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupressure targets the same points used in acupuncture but without the use of needles. This non-invasive method uses the fingers, palms, elbows, or even special devices to exert pressure on acupoints along the body’s meridians.

Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing technique offered at KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic that has been used for centuries to alleviate pain, improve blood circulation, and promote overall well-being. This therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction, which helps to release tension, reduce inflammation, and draw toxins out of the body. The suction created by the cups pulls blood to the surface, increasing circulation to the area and aiding in the healing process.

TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is an advanced treatment modality offered at KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic. This innovative approach utilizes radiofrequency energy to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain, and enhance tissue regeneration. TECAR therapy works by delivering high-frequency electromagnetic waves to targeted areas of the body, creating a deep, localized heat effect that promotes increased blood flow, improved cellular metabolism, and enhanced tissue repair.
