Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a core therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses thin, single-use sterile needles placed at specific points on the body. Many patients seek acupuncture to support pain relief, stress regulation, circulation, nervous system balance, digestion, sleep, women’s health, and overall wellness.
At Essence Healing Acupuncture in Corning, NY, each treatment is personalized to your symptoms, health history, and wellness goals. Additional Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies may be included when appropriate as part of your individualized care plan.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a warming therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the careful use of dried mugwort, known as moxa, to gently warm specific acupuncture points or areas of the body.
This soothing technique is traditionally used to support circulation, comfort, warmth, and energetic balance. Moxibustion may be included in an acupuncture treatment plan when your practitioner determines it is appropriate for your pattern and goals.

Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture, sometimes called e-stim acupuncture, uses a mild electrical current between selected acupuncture points. This technique may be used as part of care for muscle tension, pain patterns, circulation support, and nervous system regulation.
Electroacupuncture is not used for everyone. It may not be appropriate for patients with pacemakers, certain implanted medical devices, a history of seizures, or specific medical conditions. Your acupuncturist will review your health history before recommending this modality.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissue. At Essence Healing, glass cups may be used with heat to create a vacuum effect.
Many patients seek cupping therapy for back tension, neck and shoulder tightness, muscle soreness, stress-related tension, and circulation support. Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, which are a normal response and typically fade over time.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a traditional bodywork technique that uses a smooth-edged tool to apply gentle, repeated strokes to the skin. This therapy is often used to support circulation, ease areas of muscle tension, and promote relaxation.
Patients may seek Gua Sha for neck tension, shoulder tightness, back discomfort, headaches, jaw tension, and general stress-related tightness. Like cupping, Gua Sha may leave temporary redness or marks that usually resolve naturally.

Eastern Dietary Therapy
Eastern Dietary Therapy uses Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to support wellness through food choices, preparation methods, and seasonal eating. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all diet advice, recommendations are based on your individual TCM pattern, symptoms, constitution, and goals.
This approach may support digestion, energy, immune balance, women’s health, and overall wellness. At Essence Healing Acupuncture, dietary guidance emphasizes whole foods, mindful preparation, and practical changes that fit your daily life.
