Menu of Services
Chinese medicine: an umbrella term for an ancient system of diagnosis and treatment from China and nearby areas
Treatment modalities include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, guā shā, tuī ná, herbs, and qì gōng: see descriptions of what we offer below
Acupuncture: the insertion of solid, sterile, single-use needles into various points on the body
Can benefit physical and mental health
Available in both private and community settings, with optional cosmetic add-on in the private setting for those seeking cosmetic acupuncture to treat scars and aging skin
Electroacupuncture: the stimulation of acupuncture points by passing electrical current through pairs of acupuncture needles
Different frequencies serve different purposes, such as alleviating pain or depression
Moxibustion (moxa): the burning of the Chinese herb mugwort, known for its warming and penetrating abilities, either on the skin (direct moxa) or near the skin (indirect moxa)
Due to ventilation concerns, only the indirect type is available at Even Out
Cupping: suction created on the surface of the body using a glass cup and fire
Notable for conditions such as asthma and back pain
Guā shā: the scraping of a ceramic spoon or specially shaped tool over an area of the body
Commonly used to treat neck and upper back pain
Tuī ná: a manual therapy originating in China
Typically used to treat pain and promote relaxation
Herbs: plant; mineral; and, traditionally, animal substances used to treat a variety of conditions by applying the properties they exhibit in their natural environments to the human body
Special-ordered in pill or powder form upon request
