Electro-acupuncture is an advanced form of traditional acupuncture that incorporates electrical stimulation to enhance the therapeutic effects of needle insertion. This technique retains the core principles of acupuncture, which aims to balance the body’s qi (vital energy) by targeting specific acupuncture points.

Chinese Herbs
Herbal medicine is a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine, standing alongside acupuncture as a key therapeutic approach. The Chinese pharmacopoeia boasts an extensive catalog of over 6,000 medicinal substances, detailing their properties and the specific disharmonies they can address. Today, approximately 600 herbs are commonly used in clinical practice, each with its own unique characteristics and applications.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a highly effective treatment for relieving aching muscles and back pain. This technique involves the use of small glass cups, heated air, and a suction effect to stimulate blood flow, offering relaxation and tension relief similar to a deep tissue massage.
To create the suction, a brief, controlled application of heat is used—often through a quick, safe dab of isopropyl alcohol that’s lit, extinguished, and placed against the skin with the cups. The heat causes the air inside the cups to contract, creating a vacuum effect when applied to the skin. This suction draws blood toward the area, improving circulation and promoting relaxation in the muscles beneath.
Cupping requires a trained and experienced practitioner to ensure its effectiveness and safety, which is why Dr. Jing’s expert guidance is essential if you're interested in trying this treatment. As the cups glide across your skin, the increased blood flow helps to release tightness, alleviate tension, and ease discomfort, particularly along the back and shoulders.
Acupuncture
When you schedule an appointment with Dr Jing Acupuncture and Herbs, you’ll receive expert care using a series of very fine needles strategically placed on your body. This technique stimulates both surface-level and deeper areas of the body to activate your natural healing processes. By encouraging your body to produce its own pain-relieving chemicals, acupuncture can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
