Our Services
Sakura Acupuncture offers a range of services designed to promote health, wellness, and balance in the body. Our services include:
- Japanese Acupuncture: A traditional, gentle, and effective form of acupuncture that originated in Japan, using thinner needles and shallower insertion to perform much milder stimulation than other styles of acupuncture.
- Pediatric Acupuncture: Specialized acupuncture services for infants and children, using specialized pediatric acupuncture tools called "Sho-ni-shin" to gently scrape, roll, or tap specific areas of the body.
- Oriental Herbal Medicine: A comprehensive approach to healthcare that incorporates herbal remedies, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling to promote overall wellness.
