Integrating ancient wisdom & modern understanding to provide individualized whole‑person care for prevention, healing & well‑being

I believe the body is capable of healing and wants to heal

As life happens, the body can get stuck, blocked, and unbalanced. This can cause symptoms to develop, both emotional and physical, and eventually lead to illness and dis-ease.

At Ying Spring Acupuncture, I utilize acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine modalities to assist the body in restoring balance.

I am committed to taking the time necessary to hear your concerns and understand what you are experiencing.

My intention as a practitioner goes beyond alleviating symptoms and includes helping you achieve optimal health and a greater sense of well-being.

All are welcome!

Ying Spring Acupuncture provides respectful and compassionate care to individuals regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, sexual identity, gender, gender expression, religion, or age.

Conditions Chinese Medicine can treat

Because Chinese Medicine is a holistic practice that influences multiple systems within the body simultaneously, it can be used to treat a wide variety of health concerns. Below is an abbreviated list of conditions that Chinese Medicine has been shown to effectively treat, either alone or in combination with Western medical treatment:

  • Musculoskeletal: arthritis, neck & back pain, sciatica, muscle pain & weakness
  • Neurological: headaches, migraines, stroke rehabilitation, nerve pain & numbness
  • Digestive: nausea, diarrhea, constipation, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux
  • Emotional: anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia
  • Gynecological: menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, infertility
  • Respiratory: allergies, asthma, bronchitis, common cold/flu

My experience with Cindy was phenomenal.

I was treated with the deepest level of respect and also learned so much about myself both physically and even mentally. I went to Cindy as a last resort due to years of going to multiple doctors and being brushed off and given medications that never worked or worsened my symptoms. Cindy cares about you and also talks you through the whole process of the treatment method. If you’re looking to try acupuncture and are weary or nervous, Cindy is the best person to start off with. I felt comfortable and even looked forward to our appointments as I knew that Cindy would be there to help guide in whatever stage I was at.

Acupuncture

Treat your whole body naturally

Acupuncture stimulates the body’s innate ability to heal itself by restoring normal function to the body, mind & spirit. Clinical studies have demonstrated that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for a vast array of health conditions.

Fire Cupping

Reduce tension & improve circulation

Cupping relieves pain by increasing blood circulation, relaxing muscles, and smoothing fascia, all while promoting the relaxation response in the body.

Gua Sha

Relieve pain & boost immunity

Traditional gua sha is an excellent treatment to use for musculoskeletal pain. It is also beneficial to use during cold and flu season, as it can boost immunity.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Balance your body from the inside

In China, herbal medicine is often the go-to when treating health conditions and is used alongside pharmaceutical medications in hospitals. Time-tested and natural, Chinese herbal formulas can alleviate symptoms and restore and maintain your health.

Electro-Acupuncture

Address stubborn pain and neuropathy

Electro-Acupuncture can boost the effect of acupuncture. It is especially beneficial in the treatment of neurological conditions and chronic, unresponsive pain.
