traditionAL Acupuncture therapy
Traditional acupuncture, a hallmark of Chinese medicine, originated over 5,000 years ago and stands as a revered non-drug therapy. It is a medical method that employs external treatment to cure internal disease. Esteemed for its holistic approach, acupuncture harnesses fine, disposable needles, inserted at specific body points to harmonize internal health. This ancient practice aims to activate Qi flow and blood circulation and promote the body's natural healing abilities. By meticulously balancing the energies and yin and yang of the body.

Acupuncture are activating Qi flow and blood circulation and removing Qi stagnation and blood stasis, dredging the body’s channels and collaterals, Tonic organs, improving immunity and maintaining health. It is through channeling of Qi flow and the application of special methods that the disease is cured. Acupuncture achieves therapeutic outcomes for a myriad of conditions, from pain management to enhancing immunity and overall wellness. Accompanied by herbal remedies, moxibustion, cupping, and other complementary techniques, acupuncture represents a comprehensive modality for nurturing health and vitality.
Acu-Releflex point acupuncture (ARPA)
Acu-Releflex Point Acupuncture (ARPA), founded by Professor Guanyuan Jin, a master acupuncturist from the United States, is a comprehensive set of acupuncture techniques based on modern physiological, biological, and medical theories integrated with classical acupuncture theories. It aims to utilize the classical meridian theory and the theory of reflex zones under the guidance of systematic medicine to achieve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Its simplicity of use and remarkable efficacy, through a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and pathological states of the human body, allow for the selection of appropriate acupuncture techniques and combinations of acupoints for treating specific diseases or causes.
Systematic medical acupuncture can regulate the functional state of the body through meridians and alter local blood flow and promote metabolism by stimulating peripheral nerves, hence gaining increasing favor among clinical acupuncturists worldwide and standing out among many modern acupuncture schools.
Recent clinical practices and evidence-based studies have proven that acupuncture at various reflex points (also known as “reactive points”) appearing dynamically on the body surface is more effective than traditional acupuncture at non-reflex points (regardless of whether they are on the original meridians or acupoints). Most importantly, the theory of ARPA reveals the essence of the hexagram, as it encompasses the characteristics of all points (including acupoints) that can be stimulated by acupuncture, allowing for the "incorporation" (interpretation and induction) of all new, old, extraordinary acupoints, effective points, or various forms of stimulation targets (including popular ones from both ancient and modern times such as Ashi points, tender points, trigger points, primal points, etc.) used in both traditional and modern acupuncture.
The mechanism of reflex point formation also reveals the primary mechanism of acupuncture in treating diseases. The appearance of reflex points can vary from person to person (physiological reflex points) and from disease to disease (pathological reflex points), making ARPA a "self-consistent" model in modern acupuncture. As Xi Zhu, a scholar from the Song Dynasty, stated in "Zhu Zi's Complete Works," "to follow the ancient sages and to open up new learning has great merit for this world," thus the significance of developing and promoting ARPA can be described as "following the ancient sages and opening up new learning." ARPA perfectly inherits the classical theory of Chinese medicine—the theory of meridians (following the ancient sages)—while paving a new path for the future development of modern medical acupuncture (opening up new learning).
motion acupuncture therapy
Motion Acupuncture therapy is an advancement in acupuncture, it is a novel acupuncture technique, was developed by Professor Decheng Chen through over 30 years of clinical acupuncture practice. It is a new and advanced acupuncture therapy that involves the use of a specialized Motion Acupuncture needle and a distinct set of manipulative techniques.

This needle is a practical, novel, patented innovation based on the traditional acupuncture filiform needles used in acupuncture; During the treatment of diseases, patients, under the guidance of a physician, engage in active, passive, and resistive movements with the needle in place. This method integrates theories from various disciplines, including meridian theory, acupuncture, meridian sinews theory, anatomy, and kinesiology. It is primarily used for treatment of pain symptoms caused by soft tissue injuries and certain visceral syndromes etc. It is the best choice for pain management.

- Safety and Tolerance: The technique is distinguished by its no side effects and safely;
- Consistency and Replicability: The therapeutic effects of Motion Acupuncture Therapy are consistent and can be replicated across different sessions, offering reliable outcomes.
Dynamic needle retention is a distinctive aspect of Motion Acupuncture Therapy, dynamic needle retention involves patients moving the part of the body where the needle is inserted during the needling process, actively promoting the movement of Qi in a dynamic manner. This approach tends to yield a quicker, stronger, and more desirable effect in terms of Qi activation.

The movements in dynamic needle retention include active, passive, and resistance movements. Active movements are primary, passive movements are supplementary, and resistance movements are used appropriately. The injured area and the related responsible muscles perform flexion, extension, rotate and dynamic stretching movements. The underlying mechanism primarily involves stimulating the motion acupoints through both needling and movement to loosen the related myofascial chains. This process, facilitated by the conduction function of the myofascial chains, aims to restore the body's damaged tissue structural normal balance, thereby serving the purpose of both prevention and treatment of diseases quickly effect.
Scalp Acupuncture with Dao-Qi therapy
Scalp Acupuncture with Dao-Qi therapy, it is a new acupuncture method to treat neurology and mental illnesses. It is a therapeutic modality that merges traditional Chinese medical practices with contemporary neurological knowledge.

His research expertise has significantly contributed to the advancement of this technique.
Scalp Acupuncture Therapy integrates Chinese concepts of acupuncture pertaining to cerebral functions with Western medical insights into human anatomy, physiology, pathology, and neurology, particularly emphasizing the functional neuroanatomy associated with the cerebral cortex's representative areas. During treatment sessions, practitioners insert acupuncture needles into designated areas of the scalp. These areas are strategically selected to correspond with specific brain regions responsible for central nervous system operations, motor functions, sensory perceptions, vision, speech, auditory processing, and balance.
The application of Scalp Acupuncture Therapy is predominantly directed towards conditions associated with brain function, such as neurological disturbances, psychological disorders, and psychosomatic ailments.

Scalp acupuncture is an excellent way to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease, delay aging, and achieve a healthy and long life. It benefits memory, learning, and the brain in an Alzheimer’s disease study. In a controlled experiment, researchers discovered two important clinical benefits provided by stimulation of scalp acupuncture points; acupuncture improves spatial learning and memory. Additionally, the researchers discovered that acupuncture improves brain glucose metabolism. Let’s take a look at the results.
The common conditions often seeking for scalp acupuncture help are: Mental disorders: Depression, Anxiety, Sleeping disorders, Schizophrenia, Addiction, PTSD, etc.;
