ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture optimizes the flow of energy, oxygen, blood, and vital nutrients in the body by gently inserting hair-thin sterile needles into specific acupuncture points.

CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic is a natural and conservative method of care focused on the bio mechanics, structure and function of the spine, how spine health affects the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and how the proper function of these systems affects and restores one’s general health.

ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE
A mild electric current is connected between the needles during treatment to apply more stimulation than regular acupuncture. Electro-acupuncture has been effective for treating acute and chronic pain, neurological disorders, paralysis, and spasms. It promotes blood flow and releases tension and pain.

AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE
Auricular acupuncture regards the ear as a "microsystem" comprised of acupuncture points that coordinate to every part of the body. Ear acupuncture is an alternative medicine treatment in which specific points on the ear are stimulated in order to promote healing in other areas of the body.

CUPPING
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which cups are placed on the skin and negative pressure is created to provide suction. The suction creates space in the fascia so that blood, oxygen, and nutrients can get into the area to facilitate a healing process. Cupping helps reduce pain and tension, decrease inflammation, increase blood flow, and promote well-being.

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE CONSULT
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine is a healing approach that originated in China thousands of years ago. Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based. Different herbs have different properties and can balance particular parts of the body. We take into account the state of the patient’s constitution and prescribe an herbal formula that fits you and your condition best.

"I have had the great fortune to be a patient of both Jisun Ryu and Ali Perez. I am recovering from a severe case of chronic fatigue syndrome and have come to a place where they are my two most important providers. They are excellent care providers as well as lovely people. I give them the highest recommendation!"

Button"I've been seeing Jisun Ryu for acupuncture for more than two years. She is one of the most skilled and compassionate practitioners that has ever cared for me. Jisun has given me relief from crippling migraines, helped me to cope with episodes of stress and insomnia and even treated my sprained ankle effectively. I highly recommend seeing Jisun for any physical or emotional challenge you may experience."

Button"Jisun Ryu is an incredibly compassionate and skilled practitioner. After enduring chronic digestive issues for several years, I decided to see Jisun in hopes of having acupuncture provide some relief. Not only did my digestive problems subside, but my overall health greatly improved. Jisun is amazing and I cannot thank her enough for just how much she has helped me. I highly recommend Jisun!"

Button"My husband and I have been going to Ali Perez (Chiropractor) for a few years now. I also have been seeing Jisun Ryu, MS, L.Ac, Dipl. OM for acupuncture. They were both with a former practice that I went to for years. We trust them both with our care. So much so that we still drive from Frederick for treatment. I highly recommend them as they listen to your needs and put your health first. They both take their time and make sure you’re feeling your best before you leave."
