Acupuncture for Stroke Recovery: Rebuilding the Brain

By admin | Published October 5, 2026

When a stroke hits, life can change in an instant. One moment you’re preparing breakfast before work, and the next you’re on the kitchen floor unable to move one side of your body.

Tasks once performed automatically like buttoning a shirt, lifting a coffee Continue reading

From Tension to Relief: Rethinking Headaches with Acupuncture

By admin | Published September 21, 2026

For some, it comes after a long day at work. The symptoms come after a day sitting behind a desk. First, the dull ache creeps up from the base of the skull, wrapping slowly around the temples like a band tightening. By the end of the day, it’s blossomed into a full headache, paired with a stiff neck that Continue reading

How Acupuncture Is Helping People Navigate Autoimmune Disease

By admin | Published August 24, 2026

For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, mornings can be measured in minutes. How long before the stiffness eases? How long before gripping the coffee cup without pain is a reality? How long before feeling normal kicks in?

Finding Relief in the Middle of Change: Acupuncture Supporting Women Through Menopause

By admin | Published August 10, 2026

Many women recognize the symptoms: your body feels like it’s on fire, hot flashes inconveniently interrupting important meetings, night sweats soaking the sheets, mood swings, and fatigue that no amount of coffee could fix. These are the symptoms that usher in the menopause era.

Doctors might suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but for those looking for solutions addressing the Continue reading

Can Acupuncture Bring Relief Between Multiple Sclerosis Relapses?

By admin | Published July 6, 2026

A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can change life in an instant. One minute you’re seemingly fine and the next you find yourself in a neurologist’s office. Symptoms can creep in over a few months. Symptoms like tingling in the hands, unexplained fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix, and moments where your legs feel like they don’t belong to you.

Acupuncture for Stress and Anxiety: A Research-Backed Guide to How and Why It Works

By admin | Published June 22, 2026

Stress and anxiety have become defining health concerns of modern life. Fast communication, demanding schedules, and constant stimulation keep many people in a near-continuous “fight-or-flight” state. Over time this activation can disrupt sleep, digestion, mood, immune function, and cardiovascular health.

While conventional treatments such as psychotherapy and medication can be highly effective, many individuals seek complementary approaches that regulate Continue reading

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy rooted in East Asian medicine that involves the application of heat to specific points on the body using moxa, a dried form of the herb Artemisia argyi (commonly known as mugwort).

When Your Next Meal is Part of the Treatment Plan

By admin | Published March 23, 2026

For many chronic health issues, everyday exposures matter most. Food isn’t only fuel. It’s raw material, signaling molecules, and a daily set of “instructions” your body reads repeatedly.

The idea of food as medicine isn’t new. It shows up in traditional healing systems, in public health, and increasingly in modern clinical research. The most useful way to think about Continue reading

Testimonials

I’m thrilled to have found Dr. Li! When I asked my dog’s veterinarian, Dr. Jodi Van Tine, DVM, MA, CVA, CVHM, who she’d recommend for acupuncture treatments for humans, she immediately and without hesitation stated Dr. Li was at the top of her list.
I’d been suffering from physical exhaustion for months and was unsuccessful in having the root cause properly diagnosed by the Western practitioners I’d been consulting. From the onset, Dr. Li was able to pinpoint through... Read more »

Prior to seeing Dr. Li for acupuncture, I was constantly sick. I had pneumonia multiple times, and had so much anxiety that I couldn’t sleep well at night. I was constantly on antibiotics, but my cough still persisted. Dr. Li has a strong background in both Western and Eastern medicine; he is adept at designing treatment plans that do not interfere with, but enhance, treatments already begun using traditional methods. I was most impressed by Dr. Li’s individualized treatment program... Read more »

Thank you Doctor Li. Once again you have come through for me. When I came in on April 16 I was dealing/suffering with a flare-up of rosacea. After my first treatment, within 2 hours, most of the burning was gone. After 5 treatments, over 2 weeks, all of my symptoms were greatly reduced or completely gone. TCM deals with this skin disease, while Western medicine has few answers currently.

Thanks again,

Lynn R.
