As well as many other concerns
-
It depends on your concern, how long you've had it, and your goals. After your first assessment, Dr. Nam will discuss a recommended plan with you. Many people notice improvement early on, and we always aim for the fewest visits needed to get you feeling and moving well.
-
Most people are surprised by how comfortable it is. Acupuncture needles are far finer and many patients feel little more than a light tingle. It's common to feel deeply relaxed during a session.
-
Yes. Our massage therapist is experienced in pre- and post-natal massage and will adjust positioning and techniques to keep you and your baby comfortable and safe at every stage.
-
During your initial appointment, your clinician will take the time to review your health history, perform a thorough physical assessment, and discuss your wellness goals. This helps us identify the root cause of what you’re experiencing and create the most effective treatment plan for you.
You’ll also receive hands-on treatment during this first visit whenever appropriate, along with exercises or strategies you can begin right away—so you leave feeling supported and already on the path toward improvement.
-
You can book your appointment online anytime, call us, or email us directly. Same-day appointments are often available, making it easy to get the care you need when you need it.
-
Your appointment time is set aside especially for you, and we genuinely look forward to supporting you at each visit. We understand that life gets busy and unexpected things come up — it happens to all of us. When an appointment is missed or cancelled last minute, it leaves a gap in our practitioners' day that could have gone to another patient waiting for care.
To keep scheduling smooth for everyone, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notice, are subject to a 50% fee of the treatment cost. We appreciate your understanding.

We’re happy to accept e-transfers, debit, as well as all major credit cards, including AMEX.
-
Our licensed and registered practitioners are covered under most extended health plans. Coverage can vary, so if you're unsure whether a specific service is included in your plan, it’s best to check directly with your insurance provider.
-
No, you don’t need a doctor’s note to be assessed or treated by our practitioners—you’re welcome to book whenever it’s convenient for you. Some insurance plans do require a physician’s referral, though, so it’s a good idea to confirm this with your insurance company.
