Thank you for visiting our website!  I am proud to have served the Greater Philadelphia community for over 16 years.  Our acupuncture practice was the first in Center City, Philadelphia, and we have been consistently recognized among the “Best of Philly” by Philadelphia Magazine and other prominent organizations.

We offer a wide range of holistic health care and alternative medicine, combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese massage, and other advanced alternative medical techniques to treat patients as whole people, rather than amalgamations of body parts.

Here, our wonderful medical team is ready to serve you with personalized treatment options.  Our team members are honest, caring, and energetic, and we are passionate about providing the safest natural treatments to improve your health.  Our mission is to help all of our clients to achieve a sense of personal wellbeing.

With our help, often for the first time in years, our patients report significant relief from pain and other symptoms.  Many of our clients come to us while suffering from acute or chronic health problems that are unresolved by Western medical treatment.  Our clinic finds solutions to these problems and treats each individual by utilizing a range of techniques.

We strive to keep our clinicians abreast of the most current findings and techniques, and our practitioners regularly attend conferences, classes, and seminars across the United States.

Our Signature Treatment:
Interstitial Cystitis

In 1994, our medical director, Dr. Qingyao Shi, Lic. OM & Acu. began clinical research with one of the most renowned experts on interstitial cistitis (IC), Dr. Kristine Whitmore, the Chairman of Urology at Graduate Hospital (Philadelphia).  From this partnership, the paper “The Chinese Medicine Approach: Herbal Treatment for Interstitial Cystitis” was published.

Since then, Dr. Shi has dedicated a significant amount of time to clinical research and has grown to become one of the most sought-after practitioners for treatment of IC in the United States.  Our Interstitial Cystitis Intensive Treatment Program combines acupuncture, allergy elimination treatment, and Chinese herbal medicine designed to target the patient’s immune system.

Our follow-up studies show time and again that many of our patients achieve significant improvements, with many reporting that they feel like “a new person” and that other illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and even cancer, have improved.
