Our Services

Innovation Meets Tradition

We combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, PEMF, molecular hydrogen, and advanced diagnostics to address the root causes of chronic health conditions.

PEMF

PEMF therapy reduces pain by recharging your body’s cells, improving circulation, and accelerating natural healing where inflammation and damage have taken hold.

FSM

Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) treats pain by delivering targeted electrical currents that reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and restore normal cellular function at the source of discomfort.

Dry Needling

Dry needling treats pain by releasing muscle knots, improving blood flow, and calming overactive nerves to restore normal movement and relieve tension at its source.

Hydrogen Therapy

Hydrogen inhalation therapy works by flooding the body with powerful antioxidants that neutralize inflammation, protect cells from damage, and support healing from chronic pain and fatigue.

Diagnostics

Chinese medicine diagnosis works by identifying the root imbalances in the body through pulse, tongue, and symptom analysis to create a personalized treatment plan that restores balance and promotes long-term healing.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing response, improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and restoring balance to relieve pain and boost overall health.

Progress Tracking

Tracking your progress is essential. It reveals what’s working, keeps your healing on course, and helps us fine-tune your treatment plan for lasting results.

Herbal Therapeutics

When progress feels slow, Chinese herbal formulas can accelerate healing by targeting deeper imbalances, nourishing the body from within, and enhancing the effects of your treatments.

Needle-Free Options

For those who prefer to avoid needles, we offer gentle, needle-free options that deliver powerful relief using advanced therapies so you can heal comfortably and confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of the most common things people ask us about Athena

Q: What conditions do you treat?

We specialize in treating chronic pain, neuropathy, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, sciatica, insomnia, stress, and hormone imbalances. Many of our patients come to us after other treatments haven’t worked — and finally find lasting relief.

Q: How do I book an appointment?

You can book an appointment through our online booking form or by calling our office.

Q: What if I am afraid of needles?

No problem! We offer needle-free options like PEMF therapy, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, and Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy. You can still get powerful, effective treatment without needles.

Q: Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are hair-thin, and many people don’t even feel them going in. Some feel a dull, warm, or tingling sensation — a sign that your body is responding.
