Balance Meridian Therapy You don't have to be sick to feel off. Sometimes there is no single problem that brings you in for treatment. You may simply notice that you are not feeling quite like yourself. Stress may be accumulating. Sleep may feel less restorative. Digestion may seem different. Energy may fluctuate. Or you may simply want to take a more proactive approach to maintaining your health and well-being. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long emphasized the importance of recognizing patterns of imbalance before they become more disruptive. Core Balance Meridian Therapy is our individualized acupuncture approach to supporting that balance. Rather than focusing exclusively on one symptom or area of the body, Gao considers the patient's overall Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern and selects acupuncture points accordingly. |

Traditional Acupuncture or Electroacupuncture
Core Balance Meridian Therapy may be performed with traditional acupuncture alone or with gentle electrical stimulation.
Traditional AcupunctureGao selects acupuncture points according to the individual's assessment and Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern.
For some patients, traditional acupuncture without additional stimulation is the most appropriate approach.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture involves applying a mild electrical current between selected acupuncture needles.
Gao may incorporate electroacupuncture when he determines that additional stimulation is appropriate for the patient's individual presentation.
The method is not selected according to a predetermined wellness protocol. Gao determines which approach is appropriate for the individual patient.
Wellness Care Is IndividualizedThere is no single treatment schedule that is appropriate for everyone.
Some people come for a short series of treatments. Others choose periodic acupuncture as part of their ongoing wellness routine. Frequency depends upon the individual's presentation, goals and response to treatment.
Gao can recommend an appropriate schedule following the initial assessment.
PricingWellness Check — $60
Wellness Check + First Treatment — $145
