East Asian Medicine
Rooted in presence and tradition, adapted to your body in the moment.
At ECHO, we work with the body as a whole: your rhythms, your nervous system, and the underlying terrain shaping how you feel day to day. Our care draws from multiple East Asian Medicine traditions, integrating time-honored techniques with a modern physiological lens and a deep responsiveness to what your body needs now.
Quick menu:
Acupuncture
The foundation of this medicine. Fine, sterile needles are placed with precision to regulate the nervous system, ease pain, and restore circulation. Each point is chosen in real-time, based on your individual presentation.
Electroacupuncture
A gentle enhancement to standard acupuncture. Low-frequency microcurrent is applied between select points to dampen pain signaling, support tissue repair, and encourage steady circulation. The sensation is mild—often felt as a soft pulsing—and can deepen the body’s restorative response.
Herbal Medicine
An individualized extension of care. Thoughtfully crafted formulas support regulation, resilience, and deeper change between sessions. Herbal prescribing is included at no extra charge with private acupuncture sessions, or offered as a standalone consultation without acupuncture. Herbal formulas are provided in-house and billed separately.
Moxa Therapy
A warming, restorative method. Soft heat from the mugwort plant is used to ease tension, reduce sensitivity, and nourish areas that feel depleted or slow to heal. Application is guided in real time to match what your body responds to best.
Scar Therapy
A focused method for areas that haven’t fully recovered beneath the surface. Gentle needling, microcurrent soften adhesions, restore glide, and improve local nerve and circulatory function—tailored to the needs of each scar.

Questions, answered
Is East Asian Medicine the same as Chinese Medicine?
East Asian Medicine is a modern umbrella term for the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese traditions that have shaped the development and clinical depth of acupuncture, moxibustion, and eastern herbal medicine in the West. Though each lineage is distinct, they share foundational principles and a long history of practice-based refinement.
Do you use Japanese, Korean, or Chinese acupuncture techniques?
Our work is informed by Japanese, Korean, and Chinese acupuncture lineages. Treatments are guided by an embodied, hands-on approach that emphasizes palpation, subtle feedback, and responsiveness to how your system is presenting that day. Rather than applying a fixed protocol, techniques are chosen based on what your body is asking for and how it responds during the session.
Are herbal consults included with acupuncture?
Yes. Herbal prescribing is included at no extra charge with medical acupuncture visits. It is also offered as a standalone service without acupuncture. Herbs are provided in-house and billed separately.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Treatments at ECHO are intentionally gentle. We use a minimal-needle approach that feels calming for most people. You may notice subtle sensations—warmth, movement, or a gentle heaviness—as your system settles.
