There is so much more to acupuncture treatments than just needles.
When people first think of acupuncture, they often imagine a row of needles and wonder if it’s uncomfortable. But here’s the truth: acupuncture needles are tiny—about the width of a strand of hair—and most patients describe the sensation as virtually painless, often very relaxing.
But at Karma Zen Acupuncture, your treatments go far beyond needles. Every session is a carefully curated healing experience that blends ancient wisdom with modern therapies, designed to help you feel your very best.
Personalized Care with a Gentle Touch
At Karma Zen Acupuncture, patients are treated as whole individuals—not just symptoms. Dr. Katrina, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, takes the time to truly listen, understand your health concerns, and craft a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
This gentle and compassionate approach means you’ll always feel heard, supported, and cared for. Each recommendation is practical, easy to incorporate into your daily life, and designed to create lasting results.
Herbal Medicine: Custom Support for Your Health
As a trained herbalist, Dr. Katrina prescribes formulas based on each patient’s specific health needs. Unlike one-size-fits-all supplements, these blends are carefully chosen to target your unique condition—whether it’s boosting energy, calming stress, improving digestion, or supporting sleep.
Herbal medicine works hand-in-hand with acupuncture to restore balance and speed healing.
Complementary Therapies That Enhance Results
Your care doesn’t stop at acupuncture. Treatments may also include:
Cupping Therapy – Using suction cups to release tight muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. It’s deeply relaxing and often provides instant relief.
Infrared Therapy – Gentle infrared heat penetrates deep into tissues, reducing inflammation, easing stiffness, and supporting healing at the cellular level.
Evil Bone Water (EBW) – A powerful herbal liniment applied topically to reduce pain, bruising, sprains, and sore joints. Patients often feel as though it’s a magical potion for its fast-acting results.
Moxibustion – The use of the herb Chinese mugwort burnt on or near the skin to stimulate circulation, ease pain, and boost immunity. Moxa has more than a warming effect but promotes healing when applied with finesse and special care for those who can benefit from this ancient therapy.
Gua Sha – A gentle scraping technique using a smooth tool to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve pain.
Ear Seeds – Tiny seeds placed on points in the ear to continue stimulating healing long after your session is over. Perfect for stress, cravings, and pain management.
Red Light Therapy – First Time Free
One of the most exciting additions at Karma Zen Acupuncture is red light therapy, which uses low-level light wavelengths to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Benefits include:
- Reduced inflammation and pain
- Faster tissue repair
- Improved skin health and collagen production
- Enhanced energy and mood
- Promote hair growth
Best of all, your first red light therapy session is free when added to your treatment—giving you the chance to experience it yourself with no risk.
