ACUPUNCTURE & CHINESE MEDICINE

ANCIENT MEDICINE. MODERN PRECISION. DEEP HEALING.

Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest medical systems in the world—and when practiced properly, it is also one of the most precise and effective.

It doesn’t just ask, “What diagnosis do you have?”

It asks: What pattern is happening in your body—and why?

Acupuncture works by communicating with your nervous system and restoring balance across the whole body.

It supports circulation, reduces inflammation, regulates stress hormones, improves digestion, calms the mind, and helps your body shift into a healing state.

And one of the best parts? Most patients feel deeply relaxed during treatment. Many even drift off to sleep—while their body does the work.

Acupuncture is often the foundation—but it’s rarely the only tool I use.

And here’s the true beauty of acupuncture: in one treatment, it can support many systems at the same time.

It can help regulate digestion, calm the nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, relieve pain, quiet racing thoughts, improve sleep, and support hormone balance—all in one session.

In Chinese Medicine, we call this restoring Yin and Yang, and when Yin and Yang come back into balance, something powerful happens:

The body settles… the mind clears… and happiness returns.

safe, grounded, and highly personalized

Your session is never “needles and goodbye.”

I take time to understand your story, your symptoms, and your constitution. Every treatment is customized in real time based on what your body is showing me that day.

Chinese Medicine is not guesswork—it’s pattern recognition at a high level, guided by centuries of clinical wisdom and refined through modern understanding.

  • Cupping Therapy
    A powerful way to release tension, improve circulation, and move stagnation—especially for pain, tight muscles, and stress patterns.

  • Gua Sha
    A traditional technique that helps break up stagnation, reduce inflammation, and support healthier blood and lymph flow.

  • E-Stimulation (Electro-Acupuncture)
    Gentle microcurrent stimulation used to enhance pain relief, support nerve and muscle recovery, and strengthen acupuncture results.

Enhancing Your Acupuncture Session

Depending on your needs, your session may include supportive techniques such as:

  • Infrared Heat Therapy
    Deep, soothing warmth to improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and support detoxification and tissue repair.

  • Essential Oils
    Used intentionally to support relaxation, mood regulation, immune resilience, and nervous system calming.

  • Sound Therapy & Healing Music
    Sound has a powerful effect on the nervous system. Gentle frequencies and guided relaxation help quiet racing thoughts, release stored tension, and support a deeper parasympathetic “rest and repair” healing state.

These tools are selected intentionally—non randomly—and always tailored to your body’s needs and comfort level.

WHY PATIENTS LOVE IT

Acupuncture sessions often feel like a reset—physically and emotionally. People often tell me they notice improvements in:

  • Pain and tension

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Sleep quality

  • Digestion and bloating

  • Mood and emotional resilience

  • Hormone-related symptoms

  • Headaches and nervous system regulation

  • Headaches and nervous system regulation

  • Overall energy and vitality

Sometimes the first change you feel is subtle. Sometimes it’s dramatic. But what I consistently see is this: When the body feels safe, it starts to heal.

The “Dr. Patten Difference”

I don’t practice surface-level acupuncture.

I practice Chinese Medicine the way it was meant to be practiced — as a complete medical system — and I combine it with Functional Medicine and Genetics when needed.

  • That means your care is:

  • Intuitive and evidence-informed

  • Rooted in pattern diagnosis

  • Supported by modern tools (electric stimulation, red light, PEMF therapy)

  • Focused on long-term results.

I’m not satisfied with temporary symptom relief.
I want to understand what your body is doing — and help you change the pattern.

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms, bouncing between appointments, or feeling like no one has truly put your whole picture together…

This is where we begin.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine don’t just treat the body. They remind the body how to function again. Let’s help your system reset, rebalance, and heal!
