Skippack Acupuncture
Moxibustion involves burning of the dried herb mugwort over specific areas or points of the body. Moxa’s strong warming quality warms the qi (energy) and blood and improves circulation, especially in disorders characterized by coldness, such as menstrual disorders, digestive complaints, and arthritic pain.
Cupping is highly beneficial in releasing musculoskeletal tension and pain and removing symptoms of the common cold, flu, and other respiratory disorders. A vacuum is created with a specialized cup that is then placed flush against the patient’s skin. The suction then pulls the skin and underlying fascia into the opening of the cup, stimulating the area. The procedure is painless, however the skin may appear red or purple.
Gua sha or “scraping therapy,” involves pressurized strokes over oiled skin with a smooth-edged instrument. With firm pressure, the smooth edge is “scraped” on the surface of the skin along the meridian pathways where energy flows. Similar to the cupping method, this results in the appearance of small red petechiae, referred to as ‘sha.’ This practice removes blood stagnation and promotes circulation and metabolic processes. The marks on the skin may be slightly tender, but are not painful and, in fact, the patient often experiences immediate relief from symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or cough.

I had acupuncture today for the first time. And I never write reviews. But I felt that I needed too. Dr. Kim is absolutely incredible!!!! She is incredibly calming. I have suffered with anxiety and phobias my entire life. But today, I have finally found a sense of relaxation I have never been able to achieve. I will be going back weekly to her. If you are looking to give acupuncture a try, go see Dr. Kim!!!! She’s amazing!!!!!

Yesterday was my first acupuncture experience. I reached out to Dr. Kim looking to trying and induce my labor naturally. I not only felt so relaxed, calm and cared for during my treatment. But I didn’t even make it out of the office without my water breaking. This was my first pregnancy and Dr. Kim was so supportive and calm and helped talk me through what was happening to me and keep me calm. Her professionalism and care she showed me helped me substantially and set the mood for my labor. I can’t thank her enough for her care. I plan on returning to her for maintenance care after I recover more for my delivery. Thank you Dr. Kim!
